Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a crack evaluation method based on linear frequency modulated Lamb waves. Background Technology
[0002] A Lamb wave is a wave packet formed by the superposition of transverse and longitudinal waves propagating in thin plates or tubular materials. Due to its advantages such as low attenuation and sensitivity to structural changes, Lamb waves are widely used in materials health monitoring and non-destructive testing. However, the dispersion and multi-mode characteristics of Lamb waves make the propagation of the excitation signal in plate-like materials quite complex.
[0003] Current research primarily utilizes narrowband excitation to ensure mode purity, thereby simplifying waveform analysis. However, this method often results in limited signal information and requires multiple measurements of specific Lamb wave modes generated by narrowband excitation. In narrowband excitation, the signal used is limited to a fluctuating signal near a specific frequency. The excited guided wave signal is concentrated on the specific mode of interest to the engineer. Designing the narrowband excitation signal requires consideration of both frequency selection and window function modulation. When using a window function for windowing, it's crucial to ensure the response is primarily concentrated near the center frequency while also maximizing the acquisition of modally dispersed observation signals in the time domain. When modulating a sinusoidal signal, the number of periods must be carefully considered. Too few periods can lead to spectral leakage. While a large number of periods can maintain spectral characteristics, it can cause aliasing between different modes and even between sequentially generated modes in the received signal in the time domain, hindering signal analysis and processing.
[0004] Zhou Kai et al. controlled specific symmetric or antisymmetric modes by installing ultrasonic transducers at the two boundary surfaces of a flat material and controlling the phase. However, in some cases, it is desirable to obtain a complete response over a wider frequency band. Modal responses obtained over a wider bandwidth provide more complete observational information about the structure, thus helping us extract more valuable information from the received signal.
[0005] Wang Bo et al. utilized the characteristic that different modes of Lamb waves have varying sensitivities to different types of defects (cracks, indentations, pores, etc.). By exciting different Lamb wave signals for various defect detection scenarios, they then used linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals to perform structural flaw detection under different conditions. However, due to the large bandwidth and signal length of LFM signals, the dispersion phenomenon of Lamb wave signals is quite severe, resulting in relatively complex signals received by the sensor. This makes subsequent signal feature extraction and information conversion relatively complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0030] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easy to understand, the following describes in detail a crack evaluation method based on linear frequency modulated Lamb waves.
[0031] <Example>

Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of crack evaluation in a plate-like structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the aluminum plate used in the experiment of this invention.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Table 1, in step S1, this embodiment uses a 6061 aluminum plate with dimensions of 1000mm*1000mm*2mm. Eight different scribed lines are fabricated on the aluminum plate to simulate cracks of varying lengths and widths, thereby studying crack evaluation methods. The linear frequency modulated signal used in the experiment has a bandwidth of 200kHz, a starting frequency of 200kHz, a signal duration of 100μs, and a voltage of 10V. The waveforms of the received Lamb wave signals are averaged after 40 samplings. The specifications of the fabricated cracks are shown in Table 1.

[0036] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the excitation signal and the received signal in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the experiment uses a one-transmitter-one-receiver detection method. Two piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) are attached to an aluminum plate. A computer generates an excitation signal, which is then sent to a waveform generator. The waveform generator amplifies the generated electrical excitation signal, and a piezoelectric sensor (PZT-5, φ8mm*1mm) at one end of the crack transmits the acoustic signal into the aluminum plate via the inverse piezoelectric effect. When the Lamb wave passes through the crack, its waveform changes accordingly. The piezoelectric sensor at the other end of the crack converts the received acoustic signal into an electrical signal via the direct piezoelectric effect, which is then acquired and received by an oscilloscope. Finally, the computer performs subsequent signal processing. Figure 4 (b) is the excitation signal waveform. Figure 4 (c) shows the received signal waveform.
[0038] Step S2: Perform a Hilbert transform on the excitation signal x(t) and the received signal y(t) to obtain the analytical form z of the excitation signal x(t). x The analytical forms of z(t) and the received signal y(t) y (t).
[0039] z x (t)=x(t)+j×H[x(t)]
[0040] z y (t)=y(t)+j×H[y(t)]
[0041] In the formula, z x (t) is the analytic signal of the excitation signal, z y H[x(t)] is the analytic signal of the received signal, H[x(t)] is the Hilbert transform of the excitation signal x(t), and H[y(t)] is the Hilbert transform of the received signal y(t).
[0042] Step S3, for z x (t) and z y (t) Perform the Cross-Wigner-Ville distribution (XWVD) calculation, the formula is as follows:
[0043]
[0044] In the formula, w is a frequency domain variable. The analytic signal after time shifting of the y component. It is the conjugate function of the x-component after time shift.
[0045] Step S4 involves rearranging and smoothing the time-frequency distribution plot to obtain a rearranged and smoothed time-frequency plot. Rearranging is used to smooth the time-frequency plot calculated from the pegged Wigner distribution. This involves determining the energy center of each unit cell in each time-frequency region and then reassigning the energy values. The aim is to reduce errors in the time-frequency plot caused by various factors such as instrument noise, PZT quality differences, wire welding gaps, and temperature drift.
[0046] Step S5 involves extracting ridges from the rearranged smoothed time-frequency graph using the Crazy-Climber algorithm, and then using a ridge connection algorithm to obtain the ridges corresponding to each Lamb wave mode in the rearranged smoothed time-frequency graph. This step includes the Crazy-Climber algorithm and the ridge connection algorithm.
[0047] For the Crazy-Climber algorithm: First, a large number of climbers are randomly distributed on the time-frequency matrix; second, following the same Markov chain motion rules, each climber is made to climb towards the local energy maximum point with a high probability; third, the temperature is reduced according to the idea of simulated annealing to make the climbers lose their ability to move, and the number of times the pixel is traversed is recorded to determine the ridge point.
[0048] The ridge connection algorithm determines the connection method of the ridges according to the predicted ridge direction. Then, it starts searching from the bottom of the time-frequency graph, and after determining the maximum single search step size, it connects the ridge points to form ridges.
[0049] Step S6: Separate each Lamb wave mode from the useless components according to the mode separation algorithm to obtain the pure Lamb wave mode and two pure direct modes, namely the symmetric mode S0 and the asymmetric mode A0.
[0050] The formula for calculating the pure mode extraction is as follows:
[0051]
[0052] In the formula, ridge k Let p be the ridge line corresponding to a certain Lamb wave mode, p be the time-domain coordinate corresponding to the local minimum point on the left side of the ridge line, and q be the time-domain coordinate corresponding to the local minimum point on the right side of the ridge line.
[0053] Figure 5 This is the original time-frequency diagram before mode separation in the case of crack 7 (crack width 1.5mm, depth 1.0mm, length 10.0mm) in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 (a) is the original three-dimensional time-frequency plot before mode separation. Figure 5 (b) is a two-dimensional time-frequency plot before mode separation. Figure 5 (c) is the time-domain plot before mode separation. From Figure 5 Parts (b) and (c) show that the S0 and A0 modes, each Lamb wave mode component excited by the linear frequency modulated signal, exhibits a sloping band shape. Since the S0 and A0 modes are relatively complex in the time domain diagram, they are not easy to separate. However, two bright spots can be seen in the two-dimensional time-frequency diagram, which makes them easy to separate. Therefore, the S0 and A0 modes, useless components, and the parts where the two direct modes overlap can be further separated in the two-dimensional time-frequency diagram.
[0055] Figure 6 This is the time-frequency diagram obtained by mode separation in the case of crack 7 (crack width 1.5mm, depth 1.0mm, length 10.0mm) in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, the original time-frequency diagram ( Figure 5 (b) Partial pattern separation is performed to obtain Figure 6 (a) Part and Figure 6 (b) Part Figure 6 (a) shows the pure S0 mode extracted using the mode separation algorithm. Figure 6 (b) Pure A0 mode obtained by using the pattern separation algorithm.
[0057] Step S7: Calculate two damage factors (mode energy coefficients DI) based on the symmetric mode S0 and the asymmetric mode A0. E And mode energy ratio coefficient DI ρ To assess cracks.
[0058] After extracting the symmetric mode S0 and the asymmetric mode A0, DI is calculated respectively. E and DI ρ Based on the relationship between the damage factor and the crack parameters, Table 2 was obtained.

[0061] Step S8, based on the mode energy coefficient DI E Mode energy ratio coefficient DI ρ By analyzing the linear relationships between crack length and crack width, the crack length and crack width can be obtained.
[0062] Figure 7 This is a graph showing the relationship between crack size and damage factor in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0063] like Figure 7 As shown in part (a), the crack length is related to DI. ρ The data exhibits a linear positive correlation, with a slope of 0.804 for the fitted curve, and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.9864 between the original and fitted data. Figure 7 As shown in section (b), the crack width and DI E A linear negative correlation was observed, with the slope of the fitted curve being -0.363. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the original data and the fitted data was 0.9863. Finally, based on the model energy coefficient DI... E And mode energy ratio coefficient DI ρ The length and width of the crack in the aluminum plate were calculated.
