In response to the challenges posed by the complexity and potential hazards of traditional chemical methods for detecting the surface density of carbon fiber prepreg materials, this paper explores the use of eddy current testing principles. It establishes the relationship between coil impedance variation and the surface density of carbon fiber prepreg materials and designs a quadrupolar excitation eddy current detection probe. This probe can detect the surface density of both single-line and woven carbon fiber prepreg structures. The overall structure and dimensions of the designed quadrupolar probe were optimized using finite element simulation software. The results show that the number of coil turns significantly affects the sensor performance, with more turns leading to increased sensitivity. Moreover, with the same number of coil turns, smaller inner diameters and larger outer diameters of the coil enhance sensor sensitivity. A comprehensive comparison between unidirectional and woven carbon fiber models suggests that woven structures have superior electrical conductivity at identical excitation frequencies, while unidirectional models show more pronounced electrical anisotropy. These findings provide valuable insights for analyzing electrical properties, numerical simulations, and eddy current testing in composite materials.
