Abstract
Monitoring of the stress state of bridges by the use of the Barkhausen noise technique has been already introduced and this method can be adapted for monitoring of component’s overstressing. Measurement of Barkhausen noise on real bridges is carried out through the coating applied as a layer to increase the corrosion resistance of bodies. However, it was found that the thickness of the coating could vary, which in turn affects the Barkhausen noise signals and makes it difficult to assess the real stress state. For this reason, this paper deals with attenuation of Barkhausen noise emission due to variable thicknesses of coatings on the steel S460MC. It was found that increasing the thickness progressively decreases the Barkhausen noise emission and shifts the Barkhausen noise envelopes to the higher magnetic fields. Furthermore, the thickness of the coating also affects the relationship between the tensile stress and the Barkhausen noise.
