Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of flexible material measurement, and particularly relates to a flexible material elastic modulus measurement device and method based on beat-wave-longitudinal wave coupling. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a core parameter of material mechanical properties, the elastic modulus directly determines the deformation response and durability under stress conditions. For flexible materials, due to their low stiffness and high elasticity, they have irreplaceable application value in the fields of medical stents, flexible electronics, and intelligent fabrics. When predicting the performance of products made of flexible materials, it is usually necessary to measure the elastic modulus of the flexible materials. For example, nylon-66 (polyhexamethylene adipamide) is a high polymer material widely used in automobile airbags and outdoor equipment, and the dynamic measurement result of its elastic modulus will directly affect the prediction accuracy of the impact resistance of the product.

[0003] The technology lags far behind the development needs of the industry, mainly facing two dilemmas: Currently, the elastic modulus of flexible materials is mainly measured by the static tensile method (GB / T 1040 plastic tensile standard), which obtains the stress-strain curve through unidirectional quasi-static loading, and then calculates the elastic modulus. Although this method is simple to operate, it has a fundamental flaw: flexible materials exhibit significant viscoelastic behavior under dynamic loading, and their modulus can change by more than 20% with frequency. Static measurement results cannot reflect the material performance under actual working conditions, leading to product design redundancy or failure risk.

[0004] Traditional dynamic methods attempt to back-calculate the elastic modulus from the shear wave propagation speed, but the shear stiffness of flexible materials is extremely low, and the energy attenuation rate increases exponentially during shear wave propagation. For example, when the frequency of nylon fibers exceeds 100 Hz, the shear wave propagation distance is less than 10 cm, and the amplitude is attenuated to 5% of the initial amplitude, forcing the detection to rely on high-sensitivity laser interferometers or piezoelectric sensors, with a single set costing tens of thousands of yuan, resulting in high cost of measuring the elastic modulus of flexible materials.

[0005] And in the current university physics experiments, the measurement of elastic modulus has long been in a dilemma: on the one hand, basic experiments (such as Young's modulus measurement) still use the optical lever method of a century ago, which is only suitable for rigid materials such as metal wires, and completely ignores dynamic effects; on the other hand, some college students can only input sample parameters and read the final modulus value, and have no way to intervene in the physical process of wave excitation, propagation, and reception. This design leads to the following problems in teaching experiments: The elastic modulus measurement parameters cannot be adjusted, and students cannot explore the effects of string density and tension on wave speed, nor can they verify the frequency dependence of the elastic modulus, making the string vibration equation extremely abstract in teaching.

[0006] In the process of measuring the elastic modulus, the attenuation and scattering of the transverse wave in the flexible medium cannot be directly observed, and only the rough method of "observing the position of the wave node" is used, which introduces artificial error.

[0007] Although the scientific research field has tried to break through the above limitations, various measurement methods have appeared, for example, the laser Doppler vibration measurement method can measure the modulus by non-contact measurement of surface vibration; but this measurement method requires high reflectivity treatment of the sample surface, and is sensitive to the micro-bending of flexible materials, with an error of more than 15%. The atomic force microscope (AFM) nanoindentation method can measure the micro-area modulus, but the result depends on the needle tip model correction, and cannot reflect the macroscopic performance of the material.

[0008] These methods are either too expensive to be popularized or too complex in principle to be applied in teaching, forcing the academic community to re-examine the innovation potential of the basic physical principles, so how to balance the accuracy of the measurement results of the elastic modulus of flexible materials and the accuracy requirements of the sensor, and realize the visualization of the measurement of the elastic modulus of flexible materials, has become a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0009] In view of the above shortcomings in the prior art, the flexible material elastic modulus measurement device and method based on the difference beat-longitudinal wave coupling provided by the present application solve the technical problems of high sensor accuracy requirement for the measurement results of the elastic modulus of flexible materials and the inability to visualize the measurement of the elastic modulus of flexible materials.

[0011] The application has the beneficial effects that: the modular and detachable design is adopted, parameters such as string length and beat frequency can be autonomously adjusted during measurement, the whole process of envelope signal generated by longitudinal wave interference can be observed in real time through LabVIEW, the physical correlation between wave modulation and elastic modulus can be intuitively understood, the problem of "black box" of teaching experimental instruments is solved, and the observation of experimental phenomena in the teaching experiment process is facilitated.

[0012] Further, the signal generating module comprises a signal generator, a plurality of loudspeaker pieces and a vibration piece. The signal generator is configured to synchronously output two sinusoidal signals with close frequencies. Each loudspeaker piece is configured to convert the sinusoidal signals into longitudinal wave signals to excite the flexible material to generate string vibration. The vibration piece is configured to convert the tuned string vibration into mechanical vibration of front and back displacement. The frequency difference between the two sinusoidal signals is 0.1 Hz to 1 Hz.

[0013] The above further scheme has the beneficial effect that: the frequency difference between the two sound generators is set to 0.1 Hz to 1 Hz, so that the experimental phenomena during measurement, i.e., wave packet propagation and beat phenomenon, are most obvious, and the observation and collection of measurement data are facilitated.

[0014] Further, the loudspeaker pieces are at least two, which are connected to the two channels of the signal generator as excitation sources; the vibration piece is at least one, which is connected to the end of the flexible material as a converter; and the normal angles of each loudspeaker piece are 90° to 150°.

[0015] The above further scheme has the beneficial effect that: the positions between the two sound generators are relatively fixed, which facilitates the installation of the equipment during measurement, and can avoid the mutual influence between the two groups of signals when the two sound generators emit signals as much as possible, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0016] Further, the signal collecting and processing module comprises a data acquisition card, a graphical programming software, a laser range finder and a sensor analysis software. The data acquisition card is configured to collect the sinusoidal signals. The graphical programming software is configured to perform image processing based on the sinusoidal signals to obtain a phase difference. The laser range finder is configured to capture displacement information of the mechanical vibration of the vibration piece in real time. The sensor analysis software is used for analyzing the displacement information and the phase difference, obtaining an analysis result, and obtaining the elastic modulus of the flexible material according to the analysis result, the length and the mass density of the flexible material.

[0017] The above further scheme has the beneficial effects that: the sensor captures the vibration displacement in real time, the sensor analysis software automatically extracts key parameters such as envelope time, the graphical programming software synchronously displays the signal waveform, the visualization of the measurement process and the automatic processing of data are realized, the manual error is reduced, and the accuracy of the data in the detection process is ensured.

And using the characteristic that the attenuation coefficient of longitudinal wave in flexible material is only 1 / 8 of transverse wave, combining the beat principle to convert high-frequency vibration into low-frequency envelope signal, using general equipment such as laser range finder to replace high-cost special sensor, the single measurement cost is compressed to thousands of yuan, and the cost of flexible material elastic modulus measurement is greatly reduced.

[0020] Further, in step S1, the vibration displacement data of different string length of flexible material test piece under beat sine wave signal are detected, specifically including: A1, the two ends of the flexible material test piece are connected with the signal generator and the vibrating reed respectively, the beat sine wave signal is emitted to the flexible material test piece through the signal generator, and the vibrating reed is vibrated by the flexible material test piece; A2, the vibration displacement data in the vibration process of vibrating reed are collected by laser range finder; A3. Determine whether the number of tests has reached the preset value. If yes, exit the test; otherwise, adjust the chord length of the flexible material test piece and return to step A1.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: by detecting the vibration displacement data at different length positions of the flexible material, the result deviation caused by detection error can be reduced when analyzing and calculating the elastic modulus of the flexible material using beat longitudinal wave signals, thus ensuring the accuracy of the elastic modulus calculation results.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S2, the calculation of the phase difference includes the following steps: B1.

[0026] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further scheme is that it transforms the problem of analyzing the phase measurement of wavelet packets with small time and spatial periods into the measurement of the phase of beat wave packets with larger wavelengths or larger time or spatial periods.

[0027] Further, in step S3, the formula for calculating the chord length-phase difference fitting slope is:

[0028] In the formula, The slope of the chord length-phase difference fitting is... Pi For the frequency difference of the beat longitudinal wave signal, The group velocity is the velocity of a wave propagating in a string.

[0029] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further scheme is that it transforms the difficult-to-observe P-wave number into a measurable physical quantity, performs least squares linear regression to fit a straight line, and reduces the unobservability.

[0030] Further, in step S4, the formula for calculating the elastic modulus of the flexible material specimen is:

[0035] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes are obvious as long as they are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims. All inventions utilizing the concept of the present invention are protected.

[0036] Example 1 This invention also aims to provide a device for measuring the elastic modulus of flexible materials based on beat-longitudinal wave coupling, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a signal generation module, a signal acquisition and processing module, and a measurement auxiliary module; The signal generation module is used to synchronously output two sinusoidal signals with similar frequencies to excite the vibration of the flexible material 3 string, and to convert the tuned string vibration into mechanical vibration with front and rear displacement. The signal acquisition and processing module is used to analyze the displacement information of the sinusoidal signal and mechanical vibration, obtain the analysis results, and obtain the elastic modulus of the flexible material 3 based on the analysis results, the length and mass density of the flexible material 3. The measurement auxiliary module is used to measure the length and mass density of the flexible material 3.

[0037] The measurement auxiliary module includes an electronic balance and a measuring tape. The minimum range of the electronic balance is 0.1g, and the minimum range of the measuring tape is 1mm. It is used to accurately measure the mass and length of the flexible material 3.

[0038] The flexible material 3 is a soft material with low elastic modulus, such as nylon string with a diameter of 0.1-1mm.

[0039] The signal generation module includes a signal generator 6, several speaker plates 4, and vibrating plates 2; The signal generator 6 is used to synchronously output two sinusoidal signals with similar frequencies; Each of the aforementioned horn plates 4 is used to convert a sinusoidal wave signal into a longitudinal wave signal to excite the flexible material 3 to generate string vibration; The vibrating plate 2 is used to convert the tuned string vibration into mechanical vibration with forward and backward displacement. The frequency difference between the two sinusoidal signals is 0.1Hz to 1Hz.

[0040] When the frequency difference between the two sinusoidal signals output by the signal generator 6 is 0.5 Hz, the theoretical value of the beat period is 2 s. The phase of the receiving end is calculated by measuring the envelope time (the selected frequency difference of 0.5 Hz is based on the experimental phenomenon that the beat phenomenon is most obvious during wave packet propagation, and the frequency difference can be adjusted between 0.1 Hz and 1 Hz. During the experiment, it was observed that the beat wave packet was most obvious when the frequency difference was 0.5 Hz).

[0041] In this embodiment, the signal generation module includes a signal generator 6, a horn plate 4, and a vibrating plate 2. The signal generator 6 is used to synchronously output two sinusoidal signals with similar frequencies. The horn plate 4 converts the sinusoidal signal into a longitudinal wave signal to excite the flexible material 3 to generate forced vibration. The vibrating plate 2 converts the tuned string vibration into a mechanical vibration signal with front and rear displacement. At least two horn plates 4 are provided, which are respectively connected to the two channels of the signal generator 6 as excitation sources; at least one vibrating plate 2 is provided, which is connected to the end of the flexible material 3 as a converter; the angle between the normal of each horn plate 4 and the surface is 90°-150°.

[0042] In the signal generation and excitation module, the frequency difference between the two sinusoidal signals is adjustable. The frequency modulation characteristics are generated through the beat phenomenon, forming an easily detectable low-frequency envelope signal, which significantly reduces the requirements for sensor accuracy.

[0043] The signal acquisition and processing module includes a data acquisition card 5, graphical programming software, a laser rangefinder 1, and sensor analysis software; The data acquisition card 5 is used to acquire sine wave signals; The graphical programming software is used to perform image processing based on each sine wave signal to obtain the phase difference; The laser rangefinder 1 is used to capture the displacement information of the mechanical vibration of the vibrating plate 2 in real time. The sensor analysis software is used to analyze displacement information and phase difference to obtain analysis results, and based on the analysis results, the length and mass density of the flexible material 3, the elastic modulus of the flexible material 3 is obtained.

[0044] The laser rangefinder 1 has a measurement accuracy of no less than 0.0001 mm and is used to capture the vibration displacement of the flexible material 3 in real time and transmit it to the sensor analysis software. The sensor analysis software can process the vibration displacement data collected by the laser rangefinder 1 and extract key parameters such as envelope time and phase difference. In the signal acquisition and processing module, the laser rangefinder 1 captures the vibration displacement of the string in real time, the sensor analysis software sensortool automatically extracts key parameters such as envelope time, and LabVIEW synchronously displays the signal waveform, realizing visualization of the measurement process and automated data processing.

[0045] In this embodiment, the signal acquisition and processing module includes a data acquisition card 5, LabVIEW, a laser rangefinder 1, and sensor analysis software. The signal output from the signal generator 6 is input into the LabVIEW software through the data acquisition card 5. The phase difference is obtained by using LabVIEW image processing. The laser rangefinder 1 captures the vibration displacement of the vibrating plate 2 in real time. The sensor analysis software processes the data acquired by the laser rangefinder 1 and extracts key parameters such as envelope time. The measurement auxiliary module is used to accurately measure the length and mass density of the flexible material 3.

[0046] Compared with existing technologies, this solution breaks through the limitations of the traditional static tensile method when testing the elastic modulus of flexible material 3. It can accurately reflect the viscoelastic behavior of flexible material 3 under dynamic load, and the measurement results are more consistent with the actual working conditions. The relative error can be controlled below 1.5%, and the measurement results are all within the range of the true value 2σ.

[0047] Furthermore, by utilizing the characteristic that the attenuation coefficient of longitudinal waves in flexible material 3 is only 1 / 8 that of transverse waves, and combining the beat principle, high-frequency vibrations are converted into low-frequency envelope signals. General-purpose equipment such as laser rangefinders 1 are used to replace high-cost dedicated sensors, reducing the cost of a single measurement to the thousand-yuan level, and significantly reducing the cost of measuring the elastic modulus of flexible material 3.

[0048] Adopting a modular and detachable design, it allows for independent adjustment of parameters such as string length and beat frequency. The entire process of generating envelope signals through longitudinal wave interference can be observed in real time via LabVIEW, providing an intuitive understanding of the physical relationship between wave modulation and elastic modulus. This solves the problem of "black box" teaching experimental instruments and facilitates the observation of experimental phenomena during teaching experiments.

[0049] The laser rangefinder captures vibration displacement in real time, and the sensor analysis software automatically extracts key parameters such as envelope time. LabVIEW synchronously displays the signal waveform, realizing visualization of the measurement process and automated data processing, reducing manual errors and ensuring the accuracy of the detection data.

[0050] It can be upgraded to achieve automated measurement, adapt to teaching experiments and industrial quality inspection scenarios, meet the needs of industries such as textiles, packaging, and biomaterials for rapid testing of the mechanical properties of flexible materials, and promote the standardization process of mechanical characterization methods for flexible materials.

[0051] In this embodiment, the preparation work for using the device is as follows: (1) Connect the two channels of the signal generator 6 to the two horn plates 4 respectively. In this embodiment, the two horn plates 4 are the first horn plate A and the second horn plate B, to ensure the stability and accuracy of signal transmission. Fix the string on a precision optical platform. One end is coupled to the two horn plates 4 through a permanent magnet lead, and the other end is connected to the vibrating plate 2 through a permanent magnet, to ensure that the string maintains stable tension during vibration. The first output port CH1 of the signal generator 6 is connected to the first horn plate A as the first excitation source. The second output port CH2 of the signal generator 6 is connected to the second horn plate B as the second excitation source. (Fix the two horn plates 4 on the same fixing device, making the angle between the normals of the two horn plates 4 as large as possible, about 120 degrees (experiments have verified that the angle can be adjusted between 90° and 150° with little impact on the experimental work). This design can minimize the mutual interference between the two horn plates 4 on the same fixing device. This design is based on specific experience accumulated through multiple experiments. The relative angle of the two horn plates 4 is prone to mutual interference. If two fixing devices are used to fix the horn plates 4 separately and then placed side by side and pressed together, the two horn plates 4 will also interfere with each other.) (2) Install a sensor (laser rangefinder 1) module at the receiving end and connect it to the data acquisition system to ensure that the vibration displacement signal of the vibrating plate 2 can be acquired and recorded in real time. (3) Use LabVIEW software on the computer to monitor the two input signals simultaneously to ensure the stability and consistency of the signals during the experiment; (4) Use sensorTool software to monitor the signal collected by the end vibrating plate 2, and provide detailed signal characteristic parameters and analysis results (all are the use of conventional functions, and the data analysis is processed on Origin using some advanced analysis functions). (5) Accurately measure the length and mass of the flexible material 3, and calculate its density; (6) Signal excitation and acquisition: The signal generator 6 is started to output two sinusoidal signals, which are converted into longitudinal waves by the horn plate 4 to excite the vibration of the flexible material 3. At the same time, the signal image is recorded by LabVIEW and sensortool, and the vibration displacement data is captured by the laser rangefinder 1. (7) Data processing: The phase difference is obtained by using LabVIEW image processing, and parameters such as envelope time are extracted by sensor analysis software; (8) Calculation of elastic modulus: The elastic modulus is derived by combining the length, mass density and processed parameters of flexible material 3.

During detection, the signal transmitter sends two sets of beat longitudinal wave signals to the flexible material test specimen, which are transmitted through the flexible material test specimen to the vibrating plate 2, causing the vibrating plate 2 to vibrate. The vibration of the vibrating plate 2 is detected by the sensor, and the vibration data of the vibrating plate 2 is analyzed by the detection software. The specific steps include: A1.
