Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the research on micro-crack detection almost stays at the linear acoustic level, and it is impossible to effectively detect micro-cracks. The detection of micro-cracks must use nonlinear ultrasonic technology, such as vibration-acoustic modulation technology. The detection is very sensitive and can accurately determine whether there are micro-cracks in the structure
However, the current nonlinear ultrasonic technology can only detect the surface of the structure, let alone make an effective judgment on the location of the micro-cracks, and the detection of the structure is mainly for thin metal sheet structures such as aluminum tubes. The detection and positioning of thicker structures cannot show high recognition rate and accuracy, and cannot be extended to a wider field of micro-crack detection
