Finite Element Simulation of Crack Testing System of Electromagnetic Acoustic Emission Based on ANSYS

Abstract:

The finite element method is adopted to simulate the whole process of electromagnetic acoustic emission in this paper. The effects of different voltage on distribution of displacement and temp at the tip of the crack are discussed. The simulation results show that, above voltage loading on the metal plate, the value of the temp around the crack tip can be up to the melting point , which will melt the tip of crack. Larger melting sizes are obtained when loading voltage is increased. At the same case, the displacement duo to electromagnetic force at crack tip is much larger than this induced by thermal expansion
