Frequency mixing nonlinear ultrasonic detection method for structure microcracks based on bispectrum analysis

Abstract

The invention provides a frequency mixing nonlinear ultrasonic detection method for structure microcracks based on bispectrum analysis, and belongs to the detection field of nondestructive examination. The method comprises the steps of firstly, obtaining an amplitude-versus-frequency curve of an excited probe and an excited receiving probe through frequency sweep experiments, and determining probe excitation frequency or range according to the amplitude-versus-frequency curve; then, carrying out different lateral excitation frequency mixing mode experiments, tracking difference frequency and sum frequency signals, and determining an optimal frequency of the excitation signals according to amplitude-versus-frequency response characteristics of the difference frequency and sum frequency signals; performing bispectrum analysis on the time domain signals at the optimal frequency, and determining whether structure microcracks exist in a test piece or not according to whether mixing components appear in the bispectra or not; and scanning the length direction of a test piece and tracking the difference frequency and sum frequency signals by changing time delay of the excitation signals, and determining the positions of the structure microcracks according to the amplitude-versus-frequency response characteristics of the difference frequency and sum frequency signals. Influences on experimental results caused by nonlinearity of an experiment apparatus can be prevented by employing two probes to excite the signals; and the positions of the structure microcracks can be identified by making the two signals encountered through controlling the delay time of the excited signals.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ultrasonic detection method for structural microcracks, in particular to a non-linear ultrasonic detection method for mixing effect based on bispectrum analysis. The method is suitable for early diagnosis of micro-defects due to metal fatigue, deformation, and damage, and belongs to the field of non-destructive testing. Background technique [0002] In the process of manufacturing, processing, and use of metal components, micro-defects will inevitably form on the inside or on the surface. Under the action of load, temperature change and corrosive medium, micro-cracks continue to expand to form macro-cracks, which will eventually lead to fatigue failure of components. Microcracks have become a major hidden danger affecting the normal operation of industrial components. Therefore, the detection of microcracks in components has important engineering practical value. [0003] Conventional ultrasonic inspection technology is based on ...

Problems solved by technology

Through the bispectral analysis of the received signal, the judgment of whether there is a crack defect in the test piece is realized, but the mixed frequency detection under the same-side excitation mode cannot avoid the influence of the nonlinearity of the experimental instrument on the experimental results and cannot realize the location of the defect
