Evaluation of the lift-off robustness of eddy current imaging techniques

The development of lift-off invariant strategies is one of the main goals in Eddy Current Non-Destructive Testing research. In the present work, from the analysis of amplitude and phase signals of magnetic field sensors under Multi-Frequency Eddy Current excitation, two imaging procedures are analyzed and compared with respect to their ability to retrieve reliable results even in presence of huge changes of lift-off. A figure of merit based on the Signal to Noise Ratio evaluated on the 2D reconstructed images allows the comparison of the different strategies in terms of the quality of the image to show the defect. The numerical and the experimental tests realized show that the imaging procedure relying on the analysis of the phase-lag is quite insensitive to changes in the lift-off with respect to that based on the amplitude analysis. In detail the former guarantees good results even when the probe lift-off is randomly changed during the test with variations up to 3 mm, while the latter is able to tolerate only lift-off fluctuation lower than 1 mm.     

Study on multi-frequency weak signal detection method based on stochastic resonance tuning by multi-scale noise

In practical engineering applications, useful information is often submerged in strong noise and the feature information is difficult to be extracted. Aimed at the detection problem of multi-frequency signal under colored noise background, a novel weak signal detection method based on stochastic resonance (SR) tuning by multi-scale noise is proposed. Firstly, noisy signal is processed by orthogonal wavelet transform to decompose the signal into multi-scale ingredients. According to the orthogonal wavelet transform coefficients characteristics of 1/f distribution, multi-scale noise is constructed so as to make the frequency-band containing the driving frequency be enhanced through SR system. Thus multi-frequency weak signal is detected. The method is effective to detect multi-frequency weak signal under colored noise background. Experiment signal analysis results show that the proposed method is simple for multi-frequency weak signal detection, and has good prospects for engineering applications.

Comparison under controlled conditions between multi-frequency ADCPs and LISST-SL for investigating suspended sand in rivers

This paper aims to investigate the possibility and limits of using the laser device LISST-SL to calibrate and validate the multi-frequency acoustic method for assessing the concentration and grain size of suspended sand in rivers by using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs). Over the last few decades, the methods for investigating suspended sediment using Acoustic Backscattering (ABS) have been gaining increasing acceptance for riverine applications. ABS allows indirect quantification of the suspended sediment using non-intrusive measurements with high temporal and spatial resolution from a moving boat, with a range of several metres. Despite the advancement of these techniques, the use of ABS usually implies calibration and validation in the field, which can be performed by comparing echo recording by ADCP to data from water samples. Sampling and analysis of water samples noticeably increase the campaign cost and limits the reliability of the calibration because of the time and spatial averaging involved in physical sampling. In the present work, the LISST-SL suited to river applications was tested to provide matching data in one point for the validation of ADCP methods in future field work. To this end, laboratory tests were conducted utilising two ADCPs working at 1200 and 600 kHz frequencies and studying the same water volume that was concurrently being analysed by the laser device. Rapid injections of sand (median grain size: 130–250 μm) produced average concentrations of 100–1000 mg/L in a 0.25-m/s-fast and 1.7-m-deep flow. Echo records at the two frequencies were compared to the mean grain size and concentration measured via laser diffraction. Although noticeable differences between the acoustic and laser assessments of concentration were due to (1) inappropriate sampling of LISST-SL at low flow velocity and (2) investigation scarce resolution with respect to actual gradients, the corresponding mean sizes were well correlated.
