Analytical solutions describing the operation of a rotating magnetic field transducer

This work presents the analytical solutions describing the operation of a rotating magnetic field transducer used in the eddy current defectoscopy for detecting the long flaws situated parallelly to the inspected piece generatrix. The method uses the expanding of the real transducer´s three-phase system into an infinite sequence of axial and longitudinal currents whose intensity is given by a Fourier expansion, estimating the electromotive voltage induced in the transducer. By solving the equation of diffusion for the three media and considering the boundary conditions, the vector magnetic potential is determined for each medium. This work also presents the most important theoretical parameters of the transducer, as well as the experimental graphs obtained for cases of the transducer´s applications
