Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This research exploits skin/proximity effects combined with spectroscopy to determine the thickness profile of layers within electrically conducting structures. The research will pioneer a novel multi-frequency approach using a 4 terminal probe for current injection and surface voltage measurement. The project involves; development of instrumentation system hardware, analysis of tar; structured using 3D FE electromagnetic simulation, investigation of new inverse algorithms for profile reconstruction, and consideration of potential applications. The technique has applications across a range of scale lengths, two of which will be demonstrated. These are plating thickness measurements (-100pm's) and furnace hearth thickness (- metres).
