Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ultrasonic nondestructive testing, in particular to a sensitivity measurement and calibration compensation method based on a multi-modal full-focusing acoustic response cloud chart. BACKGROUND

[0002] The multi-modal full-focusing weld detection technology is a cutting-edge innovative detection technology scheme in the current domestic and foreign weld ultrasonic nondestructive testing field. Its advantage is the use of the full-matrix data acquisition method of the opposing array and the multi-modal full-focusing combination method, which can effectively reconstruct and image the real morphology of the weld contour structure and the internal buried defects, maximize the defect detection rate, reduce the difficulty of defect qualitative identification, and present the tip diffraction signal of the internal buried defect in the weld based on modal decomposition, thereby realizing the accurate quantitative measurement of the defect size based on the diffraction signal measurement. For example, the applicant's prior application, published on April 9, 2024, with publication number CN117849184A, discloses a kind of opposing array multi-modal full-focusing weld detection method. This method can effectively reconstruct the weld contour structure and internal buried defects of various forms, and realize accurate quantitative measurement of the defect size. However, in some cases, when the full-matrix data acquisition radiation acoustic field of the opposing array is not sufficient and uniform for the imaging detection area, the defect is located in the weak sensitivity area of the opposing array multi-modal full-focusing acoustic response cloud chart, the reconstructed diffraction signal sensitivity is very low, and even the diffraction signal is submerged by the system noise, which cannot be effectively obtained. At this time, the quantitative measurement of the defect can only follow the traditional wave amplitude-6dB method as a supplementary means, which requires sensitivity calibration and compensation of the multi-modal full-focusing imaging detection result to ensure the accuracy of the-6dB method defect quantitative measurement result. However, since the opposing array multi-modal full-focusing imaging involves multiple acoustic wave propagation paths such as pulse echo mode, self-serial mode, and cross mode, the traditional phased array TCG, ACG, and full-focusing phased array three-dimensional ultrasonic field measurement sensitivity calibration and compensation methods are not applicable. Therefore, a new method for measuring and calibrating sensitivity based on the opposing array multi-modal full-focusing acoustic response cloud chart is designed. SUMMARY

Normalize each single-mode acoustic response diagram so that the maximum acoustic response intensity in each single-mode acoustic response diagram reaches the same maximum amplitude value, and calculate and record the compensation multiple B for each mode. i Let i = 1, 2, 3, ... i, and the calculation method is as follows: B i =AM0 / AM i ; (4) Acoustic response diagrams A for each single mode i After normalization, the acoustic response diagrams of each single mode after normalization are denoted as A′. i The calculation method is as follows: A′ i =A i ×B i ; (5) Perform field measurement: Perform image fusion processing on the normalized single-mode acoustic response maps. The fusion result is defined as a multimodal fully focused acoustic field cloud map, denoted as A′0. The calculation method is as follows: ; (6) Perform field calibration and calculate the coefficient compensation matrix C corresponding to the multimodal full-focusing sound field cloud map. The calculation method is as follows: C(w,h)=AM0 / A′0(w,h); (7) Perform field compensation. The actual fused multimodal full-focus imaging detection result is denoted as T(w,h). The multimodal full-focus imaging detection result after sensitivity compensation using the calculated coefficient compensation matrix C is denoted as T′(w,h). The calculation method is as follows: T′(w,h)=T(w,h)×C.

[0005] In the sensitivity measurement and calibration compensation method based on the multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart, a probe, a wedge, a workpiece and an imaging area model are established, each single-modal acoustic response chart is calculated and normalized by acoustic response cloud chart simulation, and a compensation multiple of each modal is calculated and recorded, so that each single-modal detection achieves the same acoustic response amplitude of the same equivalent defect; then, in the imaging area, each single-modal acoustic response chart after normalization is theoretically fused to realize multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart sound field distribution measurement; then, a coefficient compensation matrix corresponding to the multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart is calculated to realize multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart calibration; finally, the coefficient compensation matrix calculated by the above theoretical calculation is applied to the multi-modal full-focus imaging formed by the actual detection fusion, and the sensitivity of the multi-modal full-focus imaging detection result is compensated, so as to realize the purpose of effectively compensating the weak sensitivity area of the multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart. The sensitivity measurement and calibration compensation method based on the multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart realizes the rapid compensation and sensitivity calibration of the real-time fusion imaging result of the instrument by the coefficient compensation matrix calculated by the acoustic response cloud chart simulation method, without using artificial defect test blocks for a large number of and time-consuming calibration operations.

That is, AM0 is the maximum value in the ten maximum values AM1 to AM 10 .

[0008] In the preferred scheme, step (3) further includes converting the multiple of each modal compensation into a digital gain AD i , i=1,2,3,…i, and the calculation method is as follows: AD i =20log 10 (B i ). The recorded AD iThe gain setting of each mode can be used to guide the multi-modal full focus imaging detection. In the actual ultrasonic detector instrument operation, only the gain AD i This adjustable parameter, without the multiplier B i This parameter, therefore, will be applied in the system internal theoretical simulation algorithm angle multiplier B i Convert into the gain AD i from the ultrasonic detector instrument directly through the setting AD i Set B i .

[0012] In the sensitivity measurement and calibration compensation method based on the multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart, the probe 1, the wedge 2, the workpiece 3 and the imaging area 4 model are established, each single-modal acoustic response chart is calculated and normalized by acoustic response cloud chart simulation, and the compensation multiples of each modal are calculated and recorded, so that each single-modal detection achieves the same acoustic response amplitude of the same equivalent defect; then, in the imaging area, each single-modal acoustic response chart after normalization is subjected to theoretical fusion processing, and multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart sound field distribution measurement is realized; then, by calculating the coefficient compensation matrix corresponding to the multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart, multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart calibration is realized; finally, the coefficient compensation matrix obtained by the above theoretical calculation is applied to the multi-modal full-focus imaging formed by the actual detection fusion, and the sensitivity compensation of the multi-modal full-focus imaging detection result is carried out, so that the purpose of effectively compensating the weak sensitivity area of the multi-modal full-focus acoustic response cloud chart is realized.
