Optimal Design of a Rotating Eddy-Current Probe—Application to Characterization of Anisotropic Conductive Materials

摘要

This paper presents the optimal design of a rotating eddy-current probe using the inverse problem method. The probe is dedicated to identify the electrical tensor conductivity of carbon fiber composite materials. A 3-D anisotropic shell elements model associated with annealing optimization algorithm is used to minimize the goal function.
