Abstract
The paper addresses the analysis of uncertainties in the framework of the nondestructive evaluation technique Lorentz force eddy current testing. A non-intrusive generalized polynomial chaos expansion is used in order to quantify the impact of multiple unknown input parameters. In this context, the statistics of the velocity and the conductivity of the specimen as well as the magnetic remanence and the lift-off distance of the permanent magnet are determined experimentally and modeled as $\beta $ -distributed and uniform distributed random variables. The results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and showed errors <0.2%. Furthermore, the numerically predicted force profiles are validated with experiments. A sensitivity analysis by means of the Sobol decomposition revealed that the magnetic remanence and the lift-off distance contribute to more than 90% of the total variance of the resulting Lorentz force profile and should be considered first to improve reproducibility.
