Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a CFRP plate elastic constant inversion method based on zero group velocity point wave number-frequency, and belongs to the technical field of non-destructive testing of carbon fiber composite material plates. Background Art
[0002] Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a growing alternative to traditional metal materials due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties. It is widely used in a variety of industrial fields, including aerospace, wind power generation, and shipbuilding. To ensure the ideal strength of CFRP panels, accurately measuring their elastic constants is crucial. Traditional methods for measuring elastic constants typically involve cutting the sample at various angles, but this method is destructive and costly, making it unsuitable for on-site testing.
[0003] Therefore, it is very necessary to develop non-destructive testing methods for CFRP plates, and many non-destructive testing methods have emerged. Among them, ultrasonic testing is a widely used non-destructive testing method, which is widely used in the non-destructive testing of elastic constants of composite materials. Liu Yaolu et al. disclosed in the invention patent CN114428119A "A method for inverting the elastic constants of composite materials with anisotropic characteristics". This method solves the dispersion curve of the material through numerical calculation, and then compares the phase velocity curves of the A0 mode and the S0 mode in the ultrasonic guided wave with the theoretical calculation to invert the principal axis elastic modulus (E 11 ,E 22 ) and out-of-plane shear modulus (G 13 ,G 23 ). In this detection method, by comparing the relationship between different modal phase velocities and elastic constants, only the elastic modulus and shear modulus of the material can be obtained, and the complete elastic constant matrix of the composite material cannot be obtained.
[0004] In their invention patent CN115166051A, Guo Shifeng et al. disclosed "a method for measuring the elastic constants of fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials". This method uses a probe to obtain echoes at different angles in a composite material plate, and calculates the propagation time of ultrasonic waves in a unidirectional composite material plate at different angles. The sum of the squares of the errors between the theoretical propagation time and the measured propagation time is selected as the objective function, and the objective function is optimized with multiple parameters using a particle swarm algorithm, ultimately obtaining the elastic constant matrix of the material. In the technical solution of Guo Shifeng et al., it is necessary to measure in two planes, one parallel and one orthogonal to the fiber direction of the CFRP plate. However, under actual conditions, the fiber direction is usually difficult to determine in advance, and it is impossible to accurately obtain data in the two parallel and orthogonal planes, which leads to errors in the elastic constants. Summary of the Invention

[0034] Combine Figure 1-5 This embodiment is described as follows. Figure 1 As shown, the steps of the CFRP plate elastic constant inversion method based on zero group velocity point wave number-frequency described in this embodiment include:
[0035] S1: Calculate the dispersion curves in different directions based on the elastic constant and density of the material, and extract the wavenumber-frequency data corresponding to the ZGV frequency point in each direction;
[0036] S101: For a wave propagating along an angle β, the wave vector k in the propagation direction is defined as:
[0037]
[0038] In formula (1), and is a unit vector;
[0039] S102: Constructing the wave equation;
[0040] In this embodiment, the constructed wave equation has the following eigenvalue form:
[0041] [A-ω 2 M]U=0 (2);
[0042] In formula (2), ω is the angular frequency, M is the mass matrix, U is the node displacement vector, and A is the matrix. The matrix A can be defined as:
[0043] A=k 2 (s 2 K 22 +c 2 K 33 -csK 23 -csK 32 )+ikT T (-cK 13 -sK 21 +sK 12 +cK 31 )T+K 11 (3);
[0044] In formula (3), s = sin(β), c = cos(β), T is the transformation matrix, and the stiffness matrix K in equation (3) is mn It depends on the elastic constant matrix of the composite plate and the relationship between displacement and strain, which is defined as:
[0045]
[0046] In formula (4), B is the matrix related to displacement and strain, and C is the elastic tensor. For a transversely isotropic plate, C is defined as:
[0047]
[0048] In formula (5), the transversely isotropic plate satisfies C 23 =C 22 -2C 44 ;
[0049] S103: Solve formula (2) to obtain the dispersion curve of the CFRP plate. To obtain the dispersion curves of the CFRP plate in different directions, this embodiment uses a coordinate transformation method to perform a rotation transformation on the elastic constant matrix:
[0050]
[0051] In formula (6), l is the rotation tensor, and its expression is:
[0052]
[0053] S104: On the obtained dispersion curve, there is a point where the group velocity is 0 but the phase velocity is finite, which is called the zero group velocity frequency point, such as Figure 3As shown, this embodiment extracts the ZGV frequency points in the dispersion curves in different directions, and performs orthogonal decomposition on the corresponding wavenumbers. The wavenumber-frequency information of the theoretically calculated ZGV frequency points is obtained by combining the frequencies of the ZGV frequency points. The expression of the orthogonal decomposition is:
[0054]
[0055] The theoretical dispersion curve of the CFRP plate obtained in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the point (k0, f0) is the ZGV frequency point. The wavenumber-frequency information of the ZGV frequency point is highly sensitive to the change of the elastic constant of the CFRP plate. The wavenumber-frequency information of this point is selected as the input of the objective function.
[0056] S2: Scan the full wavefield of the CFRP plate, perform 3D Fourier transform on the acquired time domain data, and intercept the resonance slice with the maximum amplitude energy near the ZGV frequency point to obtain the measured wavenumber-frequency data;
[0057] S201: Scan the center area of the CFRP plate, such as Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, the three-dimensional Fourier transform is used to process the surface scan data. The three-dimensional Fourier transform can convert the time domain (x, y, t) data into the wave number-frequency domain (k x ,k y ,f) data, the three-dimensional Fourier transform formula is as follows:
[0058]
[0059] In formula (9), F(k x ,k y ,f) is the wavenumber-frequency domain data of the ZGV frequency point after three-dimensional Fourier transform;
[0060] S202: Near the ZGV frequency point, intercept each frequency resonance slice with the largest amplitude energy, extract the distribution of the ZGV frequency point of the CFRP plate in the wavenumber-frequency domain, and obtain the (k x ,k y ,f)information.
[0061] S3: Construct an objective function for the error between the theoretical calculation and the actual measured ZGV frequency point corresponding wave number-frequency data;
[0062] In this embodiment, the theoretical wave number-frequency data and measured wavenumber-frequency data Substitute the initial error into the objective function and the expression of the constructed objective function is:
[0063]
[0064] In formula (10), is the wave number of the theoretically calculated ZGV frequency point, f cal The frequency of the theoretically calculated ZGV frequency point; is the wave number of the actual measured ZGV frequency point, f exp is the frequency of the actual measured ZGV frequency point.
[0065] S4: Use particle swarm optimization to optimize the multi-parameters of the objective function and invert the elastic constant matrix of the material with high precision.
[0066] When the theoretical wave number and frequency are close to the actual wave number and frequency, the value of the objective function (10) tends to be minimum. The particle swarm algorithm is used to optimize the multi-parameters of the objective function. When the objective function reaches the convergence condition, the values of the five elastic constants can be determined.
[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, when the maximum number of iterations is reached, the CFRP plate obtained by inversion is
[0068] The difference between the ZGV frequency wavenumber-frequency distribution and the actual distribution is small, indicating that the inversion results are highly accurate. To further verify this accuracy, the relative deviation between the actual and theoretical elastic constants was calculated. The results, shown in Table 1, show that the inversion accuracy is within the error range. This verification shows that the present invention utilizes ZGV frequency wavenumber-frequency information to demonstrate high sensitivity to changes in the elastic constants of CFRP plates, effectively improving the accuracy of CFRP plate parameter inversion. Furthermore, the present invention eliminates the need for water immersion, additional rotational devices, or prior knowledge of the material's fiber orientation during the CFRP plate parameter inversion process, enabling reference-free measurement on any plane and broadening its applicability.
