An array of magnets (19) designed of flexible components and materials can be easily shaped to fit to the contour of various curved surfaces and structures (3). EMATs that incorporate these magnets (19), in addition to being flexible, may be smaller in volume than the conventional EMAT magnets and therefore easier to apply to complex structures where access may be restricted. Also, flexible multiple-pole magnet arrays (19) can be easily and economically fabricated in various shapes and configurations, thereby increasing versatility, utility and cost effectiveness in comparison to the rigid, conventional magnet designs.
L'invention concerne un ensemble d'aimants réalisé à partie de composants et de matériaux souples pouvant épouser facilement la configuration de diverses surfaces et structures courbes. Souplesse mise part, les transducteurs électromagnétiques acoustiques (EMAT) intégrant de tels aimants peuvent être de taille plus petite que des EMAT classiques et donc être plus faciles à appliquer sur des structures complexes éventuellement d'accès limité. De plus, les ensembles d'aimants multipolaires souples peuvent être fabriqués facilement et à moindre coût, ce qui les rends supérieurs aux ensembles d'aimants rigides classiques en termes de polyvalence, d'utilité et de rapport qualité-prix.
