Characterization of Surface Cracks Through The Local Magnetic Field Induced by Eddy Currents

Roland Moser, Hannes Bleuler, Marco Picasso, Pavel Kejik, Gilles Raphaël Santi, David Florian Hippert

It is important to reliably characterize cracks in metallic mechanical parts in order to assess the serenity of damage due to fatigue. The most important parameter for this is the crack depth. This is notoriously difficult with standard Eddy current techni ...

The High-Resolution Magnetic Camera: A Novel Sensor for Eddy Current Testing

Roland Moser, Hannes Bleuler, Marco Picasso, Pavel Kejik, Gilles Raphaël Santi, David Florian Hippert

Eddy current techniques are often used to detect and, in some advanced applications, to characterize fatigue surface-breaking cracks appearing in mechanical parts. One of the major difficulties in this approach is to reliably separate the crack contributio ...

Preliminary Investigations on a Diamagnetically Levitated Linear Conveyor

Roland Moser, Hannes Bleuler, Laurent Sache, Dominique Chapuis, François Barrot, Thomas Bosgiraud

Diamagnetic levitation is the only passive levitation at room temperature. It is interesting to use this principle for a contactless conveyor in applications where friction and wear-particle contamination should be avoided such as in a microfactory. Using ...
