Abstract: Provided are a method and device for detecting arrangement disorder of fibers in a conductive composite material. A coil (7) is disposed at a position at which the coil (7) faces the conductive composite material, and thereby a current can be applied to the conductive composite material. Thus, work or the like for attaching electrodes to the conductive composite material is not required. As a result, the arrangement disorder of the fibers in the conductive composite material can easily be detected. A method for detecting meandering of fibers in a conductive composite material includes a step of disposing a magnetic field sensor (8) at a position at which the magnetic field sensor (8) faces a surface (Sa) of the conductive composite material such that a direction (D) of a magnetosensitive axis is horizontal with the surface (Sa) and is parallel to coil faces (7e).

Abstract: Provided is a method for inspecting an electroconductive composite material including disposing a detection magnetic field measurement unit, disposing a correction magnetic field measurement unit, applying a current, acquiring a detection magnetic field strength, acquiring a correction magnetic field strength, and detecting a portion in which arrangement of carbon fibers is disordered. The operation includes calculating a correction coefficient using the correction magnetic field strength and correcting the detection magnetic field strength using the correction coefficient.

Abstract: A pair of electrodes is connected to a test specimen in order to apply an electric current to the test specimen in the direction of a conductive fiber of each conductive fiber woven fabric of a plurality of prepregs as targets for verification of the presence or absence of waviness, among a plurality of prepregs constituting the test specimen composed of a conductive composite material, and then a magnetic field sensor is relatively scanned over the test specimen, while applying an electric current between the pair of electrodes, to determine a portion of the test specimen where a magnetic field variation is detected by the scanning of the magnetic field sensor as a portion where waviness of the conductive fibers of the conductive fiber woven fabric of the plurality of prepregs as targets for verification of the presence or absence of waviness is present. Thus, it is possible to grasp, for example, the condition of fibers of the conductive composite material in the test specimen as a whole.

Abstract: An eddy-current flaw detection method includes a synchronization step (S3, S4) of synchronizing the phase of an exciting voltage applied by coil driving means to an exciting coil for generating an eddy current in a test object with the phase of a driving voltage, higher in frequency than the exciting voltage, applied by device driving means to a magnetoimpedance effect device for detecting the variation of a magnetic field arising in the exciting coil; and a magnetic field detection step (S5) of detecting the variation of the magnetic field arising in the exciting coil due to the eddy current generated in the test object using the magnetoimpedance effect device.

Abstract: A transmission mechanism is capable of effectively attenuating vibrations generated thereby during operation by converting vibrations into heat energy. The base plate is provided with a plurality of flexible connecting ribs and a plurality of substantially sectorial openings formed alternately around a motor base part for holding a motor and bearing parts for supporting the shafts of the gears. Each of the gears has a rim provided on its outer circumference with teeth, a hub and flexible arms connecting the rim to the hub. Vibrations generated by the motor and those generated by the gears strain the flexible connecting ribs of the base plate and the flexible arms of the gears, the strains of the flexible connecting ribs and the flexible arms are converted into heat energy in the end and the heat energy dissipates, so that the variations are attenuated and noise attributable to the vibrations is suppressed.
