Local stress concentrations pose a significant hazard to the safe operation of pipelines. However, the classical analytical model of the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signal is still unable to effectively quantitatively analyze and accurately evaluate the local stress concentration zone of a pipeline. In this paper, based on the Jiles–Atherton model of the magnetomechanical effect, the mathematical relationship between stress and the magnetization of ferromagnetic material under hysteresis conditions is introduced, and an improved analytical model of the MFL signal based on the magnetomechanical model is established. The influence law of stress intensity on the MFL signal in the local stress concentration zone of the pipeline is calculated and analyzed, and the theoretical calculation results are verified through experiments. Simulation and experimental results show that, considering the hysteresis condition, the stress causes a change in the hysteresis loop of the ferromagnetic material, and the magnetization strength of the material decreases with increasing stress; the effect of stress on the magnetization strength of ferromagnetic materials is most obvious when the external magnetic field is approximately 5 KA/m. The MFL signal on the surface of the local stress concentration zone of the pipe changes abruptly, and the amount of change in the axial amplitude and radial peak-to-peak value of the leakage signal of the pipe tends to increase with the increase in the stress intensity of the local stress concentration zone. A comparison of the analysis with the classical analytical model of the MFL signal shows that the improved analytical model of the MFL signal is more suitable for the quantification study of the local stress concentration zone of the pipeline.
