Signal Strength Enhancement of Magnetostrictive Patch Transducers for Guided Wave Inspection by Magnetic Circuit Optimization
Magnetostrictive patch transducers (MPT) with planar coils are ideal candidates for shear mode generation and detection in pipe and plate inspection with the advantages of flexibility, lightness and good directivity. However, the low energy conversion efficiency limits the application of the MPT in...
