Non-destructive testing (NDT) involving stress measurement has found a wide range of applications in rail, pipeline, bridge and other engineering areas and it is therefore necessary to find a method to measure stress. In this paper, a non-destructive method is proposed to measure stress by observation of the magnetostrictive properties of the objects. Stress in the elastic range is applied to the ferromagnetic material, changing its lattice, while stress in the plastic range changes its microstructure. These are the reasons for the magnetostrictive coefficient variation of the material. An experimental platform was set up, using a cantilever beam with a strain gauge, to study the relationship between the SH wave, the static magnetic field strength and the applied uniaxial stress. The curve obtained shows the relationship between the amplitude of the electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) signal and the static magnetic field strength. The magnetostrictive parameters, sensitive to stress, were extracted from the curve. This method is verified through trials on test samples with a maximum relative error between experimental and predicted values of 8.06%.

The multimode and dispersion characteristics of Lamb waves make them difficult to apply to nondestructive evaluation. This paper presents a paired configuration of a meander-line coil electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) to generate a single-mode symmetric and antisymmetric Lamb wave in aluminum plates. In the paired structure, the bias magnetic field of the EMAT that generates symmetric mode Lamb waves is perpendicular to the plate surface, while the bias magnetic field of the EMAT that generates antisymmetric Lamb waves is parallel to the plate surface. The symmetric and antisymmetric exciting forces generated by these two EMATs are consistent with the dispersion equations of single symmetric and antisymmetric Lamb wave modes, respectively. The numerical simulations and experiments verified that the presented paired configurations of meander-line coil EMATs can effectively control the generation of single-mode Lamb waves at low frequencies.

Electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) are widely used in non-destructive testing (NDT). However, when ultrasonic waves are excited, the transmitting coil generates a strong alternating magnetic field, resulting in the generation of an electromagnetic pulse. To address this problem, an EMAT with electromagnetic pulse restraining is presented in this paper. First, the cause of the electromagnetic pulse is investigated. Second, the conditions for restraining the electromagnetic pulse using the new transmitting coil are analysed. Finally, the design method for the new transmitting coil is provided through evaluation of the magnetic field model of the new transmitting coil. The experimental results demonstrate that the new transmitting coil has a significant effect on the excitation of ultrasonic waves in the tested material and the restraining of electromagnetic pulses. Therefore, the method proposed in this study can self-compensate for the strong alternating magnetic field generated by the transmitting coil, reduce the interference of the electromagnetic pulse with the ultrasonic wave and improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of EMATs.
