Abstract: | In this paper, the effect of local defect resonance (LDR) on the nonlinear ultrasonic responses of defects is studied and applied for enhancement of sensitivity of nonlinear NDE. Unlike the resonance of the whole specimen, the LDR provides an efficient energy pumping from the wave directly to the defect and causes an efficient generation of the higher harmonics and wave mixing even at moderate input signals. At higher levels of excitation, a combined effect of LDR and nonlinearity results in qualitatively new “nonclassical” features characteristic of the nonlinear and parametric resonances. The resonant nonlinear defects demonstrate threshold dynamics of instable vibrations, hysteresis, super- and subharmonic resonances. Under nonlinear LDR conditions nearly total input energy can be converted into higher harmonic or subharmonic vibrations of the defect. This proposes nonlinear LDR application as an extremely efficient and sensitive mode for nonlinear imaging and NDE. |
