Title: Electromagnetic analysis of concrete tensioning strands
Inventor: MITCHELL KEVIN
IPC: G01N33/38
Filed: 2002-01-29
Abstract: Discloses methods to perform magnetic testing of tensioning elements in a pre- stressed concrete cylinder, such as a pipe or wafer reservoir and testing apparatus. The apparatus includes magnetic flux production means and detector means disposed proximal to a surface of the cylinder in a plane in common with the magnetic flux production means that is orthogonal to an axis of the cylinder. The apparatus operates over a range of low frequency signals, for example, between 20 and 300 hertz or a pulse. Output of the inspection apparatus includes a signal and distance plot showing the results of testing a cylinder at one or mole frequencies. In accordance with another method of analysis, a characteristic of the phase of the output over distance is plotted, including the phase or representations of the in-phase or quadrature components of the received signal in relation to the driving signal.
