Magnetic contactless detection of stress distribution and assembly defects in constructional steel element

The fit joint was executed with tolerance kept within planned limits. The elastic deformation of the ring's material at the lateral surface was measured with a strain gauge. At the last stage, the analytic and numerical calculations of the fit joint were compared to the magnetic field measurement results. The experiment has proven that it is possible to carry out contactless magnetic tests in constructional steel characterised by low magnetoelastic sensitivity.
