TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aviation structure health monitoring, and particularly relates to a guided wave signal calibration system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] During the service of an aircraft, the in-service conditions and failure modes are usually complex and unpredictable, and the aerospace industry usually uses time-based or usage-based periodic maintenance, which is very time-consuming and very expensive. Therefore, structure health monitoring technology supporting real-time online monitoring has great application prospects.
[0003] Structure health monitoring technology is based on intelligent material structure, and intelligent sensing / driving elements are installed in the structure. Physical information of the intelligent sensing / driving elements is obtained by a structure health monitoring system in real time and online, and advanced damage identification algorithms are used to process the obtained signals to extract feature parameters of the structure health status, identify the structure state, and realize online or offline monitoring of the structure. Structure health monitoring technology can monitor and control the state of the aircraft structure during the design, experiment and service of the aircraft, thereby guiding the structural design of the aircraft, reducing maintenance costs, and improving flight safety. Among many structure health monitoring technologies, piezoelectric guided wave-based structure health monitoring technology is widely used because of its advantages of long monitoring distance, large monitoring area, ability to realize regional monitoring, sensitivity to small structural damage, etc. The main method is to excite the driving elements on the structure by high-frequency high-amplitude guided wave voltage signals, collect guided wave response signals on the sensing elements, and use advanced damage imaging algorithms to identify the damage on the structure.
[0004] However, when the piezoelectric guided wave-based structure health monitoring technology is applied to the aircraft structure, there are many time-varying uncertain factors in the real service environment, such as changes in environmental temperature and humidity, operating conditions, and structural boundary conditions, and these time-varying environmental factors may have an uncertain impact on the monitored guided wave signals. In addition, factors such as the material of the aircraft structure, the structure, and the sensor arrangement error will also affect the monitored guided wave signals. The piezoelectric guided wave-based structure health monitoring method compares the signal difference between the health signals and the damage signals monitored before and after the structure damage to characterize the damage. Therefore, the above uncertain changes in the guided wave signals will affect the subsequent structure damage identification.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to introduce guided wave calibration in the guided wave acquisition system, taking the guided wave signal affected by time-varying factors, structural changes, sensor differences, etc. as the standard signal, and calibrating the signal affected by the above factors, so as to improve the accuracy of structural damage diagnosis. The change of guided wave signal caused by the above factors is mainly the change of signal amplitude, therefore, for the calibration of guided wave signal, a voltage regulation circuit needs to be introduced in the guided wave conditioner to adjust the voltage gain of the guided wave signal and thus adjust its amplitude, wherein the guided wave conditioner is used to amplify the weak guided wave signal (for details, see patent No. CN111697946A). The circuit should meet the following requirements: the voltage gain is approximately continuously adjustable, and the adjustment step is as small as possible; in the frequency domain of the guided wave signal (15kHz-700kHz), except for the amplitude of the guided wave signal, it does not change other characteristics of the original signal, especially the phase; the circuit can be controlled in real time by a microcontroller. The commonly used voltage regulation circuit is realized by a feedback circuit composed of an integrated operational amplifier, and the gain control is realized by changing the resistance value of the feedback path, wherein the commonly used voltage regulation circuit includes analog switch and resistance network method, digital potentiometer method, VGA (Variable Gain Amplifier) method, etc. The circuit schematic diagram of the analog switch and resistance network method is shown in Figure 1 , however, it has the following disadvantages: narrow gain adjustment range, low gain adjustment resolution; affected by the on-resistance of the analog switch, the gain adjustment accuracy is not high; there is crosstalk between the analog switch channels, and the gain cannot be accurately adjusted. The circuit schematic diagram of the digital potentiometer method is shown in Figure 2 , however, it has the following disadvantages: the digital potentiometer tap has a parasitic resistance, and the temperature drift coefficient of the resistance is large, which affects the gain adjustment accuracy; there are a large number of parasitic capacitances in the digital potentiometer, including tap parasitic capacitance, termination ground capacitance, etc., which cause the digital potentiometer to exhibit different frequency characteristics when outputting different resistances to alternating current signals, and the bandwidth of the digital potentiometer is limited, which cannot be used for guided wave signal calibration. The circuit schematic diagram of the VGA method is shown in Figure 3 , however, it has the following disadvantages: the gain of the analog control VGA circuit is controlled by an external voltage, and a control voltage generating circuit needs to be designed for guided wave signal calibration, which is easily affected by external interference, resulting in low accuracy, and most of the VGAs on the market realize voltage amplification multiple control by the exponential law of control voltage, which complicates the entire calibration process; the digital control word of the digital control VGA can only reach 5-7 bits, resulting in a large gain adjustment step and low calibration accuracy for the guided wave signal; the voltage amplification multiple of the digital control VGA is in an exponential law with the digital control word, resulting in a complex calibration process; the lower cutoff frequency of the digital control VGA device is above 5MHz, which is higher than the frequency range of the guided wave signal (15kHz-700kHz). SUMMARY
