无参考Lamb波相控阵结构损伤监测成像方法

超声相控阵结构健康监测中通过计算差信号获取损伤散射信号的方法易受环境和结构变化的影响,针对这一问题,提出无参考信号的相控阵结构健康监测成像定位方法。采用窗函数截取散射信号,剔除直达波和边界反射信号。基于相控阵方法,对结构损伤状态时的传感器响应信号进行处理,无需结构健康状态时传感信号作为参考。该方法在碳纤维复合材料板结构上的实验研究证明,采用无参考信号的超声相控阵方法能够精确实时地监测并清晰表征结构损伤;同时,该方法可以大大缩短监测时间,且不受环境条件变化的影响,为该方法的工程化应用奠定基础。     

基于相同传播距离路径的兰姆波无基准损伤概率成像

针对兰姆波损伤概率成像需要参考基准的问题,提出了一种基于相同传播距离的兰姆波无基准损伤概率成像算法。 首 先求解每条路径上信号的功率谱密度,然后将相同传播距离路径上的功率谱密度值进行分组,将每组的功率谱密度最大值对应 的路径视为无损路径,并与同组的其他功率谱密度值进行比较,构建损伤指数,最后结合损伤概率成像算法来识别损伤位置。 结果显示,该无基准损伤成像算法对检测区域内多种类型损伤定位成像的相对误差在 6%以内,能够对缺陷进行准确的定位 成像。     

Guided Ultrasonic Wave Imaging for Immersed Plates Based on Wavelet Transform and Probabilistic Analysis

We propose a nondestructive evaluation method for immersed structures based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves induced by means of laser pulses and detected with an array of immersion transducers. In the study presented in this article, a laser operating at 532 nm is employed to excite leaky guided waves on an aluminum plate immersed in water. An array of immersion transducers is used to record the waves radiating from the laser-illuminated point. The detected signals are processed with an imaging algorithm based on continuous wavelet transform and probabilistic analysis to localize the presence of artificial defects machined in the plate. With respect to the existing imaging methods for plates, the proposed algorithm is pseudo baseline free, because it does not require data recorded from a pristine plate, but it requires that only a portion of the plate is free from defects. We find that the proposed algorithm enables the detection of surface cracks. Advantages and limitations of the algorithm for the nondestructive evaluation of underwater structures are discussed.
