Using large finite element analysis (FEA) software ANSYS, the stress-magnetization effect on 20# steel specimens with different shape notches is simulated under the geomagnetic field and tensile load. With the stimulation, the magnetic flux leakage fields at certain positions of the surface specimen were measured. Through analysis the relationship between the magnetic flux leakage fields of certain points with tensile stress, the results showed that the magnetic field value at certain positions of specimen surface first decreases and then increases along with the increase of stress, which is called magnetization reversal phenomenon; Different gaps and different positions of the specimen show different magnetization reversal rules; By measuring the maximal variation of the magnetic field value △Hmax at certain positions of the surface specimen and by analyzing its change law, we can roughly estimate specimen stress size and distribution regularity of stress. Moreover, this article also discusses the effect of lifts-off of the probe on the law of stress magnetization.

Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) is a non-destructive testing method used to inspect ferrous materials. However, apparatus parameters could affect the MFL inspection tool’s ability to characterize anomalies. In this paper, MFL signals obtained during the inspection of pipes have been simulated using three-dimensional finite element analysis and the effects of magnet assembly on MFL signals are investigated. According to numerical simulations, an increase in the leakage flux amplitude is observed with an increase in the permanent magnet size and the inflexion point may indicate the presence of magnetizing pipe wall to near saturation. It clearly illustrates degradation in the MFL with increasing backing iron length. The relationship between MFL apparatus parameters and MFL signals could be utilized in the MFL technique to characterize the defect.

Storage tank is an essential vessel in petrochemical industry, and the corrosion of tank is an important reason for the safety hazard. The corrosion of tank bottom plate is more serious than the tank wall, and it is not easy to check and repair, when damaged to a certain extent it will cause the leakage of the media, then lead to waste of energy, environmental pollution, at the same time it will cause a major accident. Magnetic flux leakage testing is widely used in the field of tank floor inspection with the advantages of fast scanning speed, accurate results and so on. In this paper, the finite element simulation and analysis of the corrosion defect leakage magnetic field is used to obtain the data, and the characteristic of the leakage magnetic field is extracted. The effect of defect depth and width and shape on the magnetic flux leakage field is studied, and the distribution curve of the magnetic flux leakage field is obtained.

In order to solve the problem that no-load magnetic flux leakage coefficient is not accurate when it is calculated by the method of magnetic circuit, a model of interior permanent magnet(IPM) generator with 36 slots for vehicle was built through the finite element method of the ANSYS, and then a means of calculating the IPM generator’s magnetic flux was put forward after analyzing the magnetic flux leakage conditions of different rotor structures under the circumstance of not changing stator structure. The ralationships among the pairs of poles, the magnet width, the thickness of non-magnetic sleeve, the length of air-gap and the magnetic flux leakage coefficient were obtained, and they provided forceful guidance for the structural design of IPM generator.

For the problem of MFL (magnetic flux leakage) inner detection signal reconstruction for pipeline, a method based on the FR conjugate gradient iterative was introduced to solve the inverse problem of electromagnetic field. The physical model of magnetic flux leakage inner detection in pipeline had been established by the finite element analysis software named ANSYS. 90 groups of different parameters of defects had been simulated in MFL. Fundamental function had been found by fitting curve. FR conjugate gradient iterative had been programmed by MATLAB in order to solve nonlinear equations. Comparing with Newton, conjugate gradient can get reconstruction defect parameter more accurately and better reconstruction results.
