Eddy Current Signature Classification of Steam Generator Tube Defects Using A Learning Vector Quantization Neural Network
- New Mexico State University Dept of Mechanical Engineering
A major cause of failure in nuclear steam generators is degradation of their tubes. Although seven primary defect categories exist, one of the principal causes of tube failure is intergranular attack/stress corrosion cracking (IGA/SCC). This type of defect usually begins on the secondary side surface of the tubes and propagates both inwards and laterally. In many cases this defect is found at or near the tube support plates.
