Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser ultrasonic nondestructive testing, and in particular to a composite material defect detection method and system based on dual-wave interference laser ultrasound. Background Art

[0002] Existing composite material defect detection methods and systems based on dual-wave interference laser ultrasound still have the following drawbacks in actual use:

[0003] In the aviation and new energy sectors, carbon fiber composites (CFRP) and ceramic matrix composites (CMC) are widely used due to their excellent performance. However, they are prone to hidden defects such as interlaminar debonding and fiber breakage, which seriously affect the safety and reliability of components. Current detection technologies have significant limitations: contact ultrasonic testing requires the use of coupling agents, which not only damages the material surface but also has extremely low detection efficiency in scenarios such as aircraft skins. Laser ultrasonic single-point excitation can only excite single-frequency sound waves, which is insufficiently sensitive for detecting micron-level defects, with a signal-to-noise ratio often below 6dB. Although laser interferometry can achieve non-contact measurement, traditional single-wavelength interferometry is easily affected by material surface roughness and cannot effectively distinguish between near-surface and deep-seated defects. For example, it is difficult to distinguish between near-surface pores with a depth of less than 0.5mm and interlaminar debonding greater than 2mm. These technical bottlenecks make it difficult to accurately identify internal defects in composite materials. More efficient detection methods are urgently needed to meet the stringent requirements of the aviation and new energy sectors for composite component quality control. Summary of the Invention
