technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of acoustic emission on-line monitoring, in particular to an optimization-based coupled optical fiber sensor flat panel ultrasonic source positioning method and system. Background technique [0002] In the field of engineering industry, metal sheet is one of the most common engineering components. During its long-term service, it will inevitably be affected by factors such as overload, environment, and human factors, and cracks and other damage will occur, resulting in safety accidents or unnecessary economic loss. In order to prevent such accidents, it is necessary to detect the damage location in a timely and effective manner, and conduct online monitoring of the health status of such plates. [0003] Ultrasound propagates in the form of Lamb waves in the flat plate, and its composition is mainly A 0 with S 0 The two most basic modes, usually S 0 The modal energy is small, and the dispersion effect is not obviou...

Problems solved by technology

In this way, the peak value of the ultrasonic signal may be shifted by the influence of ultrasonic reflection superposition, mode conversion, etc., which cannot accurately represent the arrival time of the ultrasonic wave, which eventually leads to positioning deviation

And linear positioning with this method usually requires at least two sensors to achieve, which increases the cost

[0005] Traditional piezoelectric ceramic ultrasonic sensors are difficult to apply in narrow spaces and strong electromagnetic environments due to their large size, susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, and inconvenient installation and measurement. Small in weight, light in weight, easy to landfill, and immune to electromagnetic interference, it is more suitable for online monitoring of the working status of remote workpiece equipment

[0006] The fiber optic ultrasonic sensors that have been proposed are mainly interferometric fiber optic sensors, such as (1) Bragg grating, (2) Fabry-Perot cavity, (3) Mach-Zehnder interference, (4) Sagnac interference, These interferometric fiber optic sensors have high cost, high requirements on equipment and complicated sensor manufacturing process, which are not suitable for practical engineering applications.
