Problems solved by technology

[0003] As far as the matrix material of the transducer is concerned, the current piezoelectric ceramic (Piezoelectric, PZT) transducer used to excite the ultrasonic guided wave has the advantages of high piezoelectric strain constant, fast response, and stable performance. It has brittleness and poor designability of electromechanical properties, making it difficult to integrate or paste on the surface of complex shapes and structures, which seriously affects its application range
In addition, baroclinic wedge transducers, comb sensors and electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMAT) used for guided wave excitation can perform better in offline maintenance and inspection, but because of their large scale, they are not Flexible materials are difficult to integrate into the structure, so they can only be used for offline detection
[0004] In addition, as far as the structural design of the transducer is concerned, the interdigital structure of the interdigital transducer (Interdigital Transducer, IDT) is the most basic form used to generate directional waveguides in the SHM system. However, the prior art There are still many deficiencies in IDT design, such as narrow frequency bandwidth and unidirectionality of signal propagation, etc. In order to adapt to smaller damage detection scales, ingenious transducer structure design is required to increase bandwidth and realize all-round drive and sensing

Abstract

The invention provides an omni-directional broadband flexible dielectric elastic interdigital transducer and a manufacturing method thereof. The omni-directional broadband flexible dielectric elasticinterdigital transducer comprises a flexible DE substrate which is disc-shaped; s a flexible annular interdigital electrode arranged on the surface of the flexible DE substrate, wherein flexible annular interdigital electrode includes: a positive electrode interdigital electrode and a negative electrode interdigital electrode, The positive electrode interdigital electrode and the negative electrode interdigital electrode are in a mutually-nested annular interdigital shape, the distance between every two adjacent electrodes in the flexible annular interdigital electrode is gradually increased outwards from the circle center of the flexible annular interdigital electrode in the radial direction, and all-dimensional driving and sensing of ultrasonic signals in a tested component can be achieved; The characteristic of IDT broadband can be realized by changing the electrode spacing, so that the frequency band width has designability, and therefore, guided wave mode selection can be realized, and the recognition rate of effective signals in engineering structure damage detection can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electronic devices, in particular to an omnidirectional broadband flexible dielectric elastic interdigital transducer and a manufacturing method. Background technique [0002] Among the methods and related technologies suitable for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of large-area panels, many advanced signal processing methods still have many shortcomings such as large human interference factors and narrow application range. Electro-acoustic transducers have gradually become a key component of SHM systems because of their unique function of transmitting structural safety information. The existing Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system always has the need to further improve its detection sensitivity and accuracy, and to explore the omni-directional transmission and reception, broadband and mode-selectable functions that can be used for large-area composite materials. The flexible interdigitated guided wave trans...
