    Abstract: Material properties such as stress in a ferromagnetic material may be measured using an electromagnetic probe. While generating an alternating magnetic field in the object, and sensing the resulting magnetic field with a sensor, the signals from the magnetic sensor may be resolved into in-phase and quadrature components. The signals are affected by both geometrical parameters such as lift-off and by material properties, but these influences may be separated by mapping the in-phase and quadrature components directly into material property and lift-off components, and hence a material property and/or the lift-off may be determined. The mapping may be represented in the impedance plane as two sets of contours representing signal variation with lift-off (A) (for different values of stress) and signal variation with stress (B) (for different values of lift-off), the contours of both sets (A, B) being curved. The stress contours (B) intersect any one liftoff contour (A) at a constant angle. Hence calibration measurements taken along a few contours of each set enable the positions of the other contours of each set to be determined.

    Abstract: A new extensometer is disclosed that avoids prior art problems of drift and other problems from variations in temperature, humidity and other environmental factors. Two primary extensometer body parts each hold at one end specimen contact rods and at their other ends a displacement measuring sensor, preferably a linear variable differential transformer. A thin hinge area connects the two body parts into a single piece monolithic construction so that relative movement between the two body parts is restricted to a single rotational degree of freedom.

    Abstract: A testing apparatus has an integral load cell element. The apparatus may be used to characterize a property of a sample on, for example, the mesoscale. The apparatus has a frame, at least one actuator and at least one displacement sensor. The apparatus may further include a controller and data acquisition equipment. At least one portion of the frame defines at least one flexure element that is capable of being displaced, by the actuator or a sample, along a rectilinear axis. The frame defining the flexure element has a platform and at least two parallel beams or springs supporting the platform. The portion of the frame defining the flexure element tends to restrict displacement of the sample rectilinearly along an axis that is parallel to the applied force. The arrangement also provides a counter-rotating associated with a cantilever spring assembly. An indentation testing apparatus is has the capability to indent a sample with an indenter. A biaxial testing apparatus has the capability to apply a displacement along two axes. The actuators of the biaxial testing apparatus are de-coupled to remove interaction between the applied forces. The testing apparatus can be tailored to a specific characterization test by selecting an appropriate sample size, geometry, frame material, flexure element geometry, indenter, actuator and displacement sensor. The testing apparatus is capable of measuring 1 nullN to 10 N forces with a resolution of 50 nullN.

    Abstract: A nondestructive test method determines fatigue of a test ferromagnetic construction material by quantifying a change in effective stress due to aging of the test material, in which the magnetic susceptibility (&khgr;c) of the test material is measured in its aged state under a magnetic field having a specified intensity (H) according to a relation as expressed by a first equation: c=&khgr;c H3. The magnetic susceptibility (&khgr;c) so measured and the magnetic field intensity (H) are put into the first equation, to obtain a susceptibility coefficient (c) of the test material. The susceptibility coefficient (c) so obtained is put into a second equation: &sgr;={log (c)−a}/b, where a and b are known constants determined by an internal structure of the test material, to obtain a current tensile stress (&sgr;) of the test material. The current tensile stress (&sgr;) of the test material so obtained is compared with a known, initial tensile stress (&sgr;0) of the same test material, to determine a change in effective tensile stress of the test material.

    Abstract: A method of using a magnetostrictive material to achieve a high magnetomechanical coupling factor comprising building an internal anisotropy energy into the magnetostrictive material and applying a tensile or compressive stress to the magnetostrictive material with the built-in internal anisotropy energy. The internal anisotropy energy is built into the magnetostrictive material by annealing the magnetostrictive material under an annealing stress or a suitable magnetic field. For a positive magnetostrictive material, when the annealing stress is compressive, the stress applied to the annealed material under operation is tensile, and when the annealing stress is the tensile, the stress applied to the annealed material under operation is compressive. For a negative magnetostrictive material, when the annealing stress is compressive, the stress applied to the annealed material under operation is tensile, and when the annealing stress is tensile, the stress applied to the annealed material under operation is compressive.
