Metal Magnetic Memory Signal Analysis Based on EMD Method

Abstract:

In order to determine stress concentration zones and defects on the surface of ferromagnetic components, the empirical model decomposition (EMD) method was proposed to eliminate noise interference of metal magnetic memory signal. Tensile-tensile fatigue test of 16MnR steel with prefabricated defects were carried out, and magnetic signals were measured using GMR sensor. The original metal magnetic memory signal was first decomposed into different intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and a residue, and reconstructed signal was obtained on the basis of the degree of the correlation coefficient. Results indicate that the reconstruction signal displays the maxima at 30mm, and there is a good correlation between the real maxima and the stress concentration zone. The EMD method is a effective signal processing method about magnetic memory signal containing some interference factors.
