Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic guided wave structure health monitoring, and in particular to a high-precision rapid damage imaging method for anisotropic dispersion structures. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of aircraft manufacturing technology, composite materials are widely used in modern advanced aircraft structures. However, the anisotropic properties of composite materials have brought huge challenges to current structural health monitoring technology.

[0003] In damage monitoring of anisotropic composite structures based on Lamb waves, the dispersion characteristics of Lamb waves cause the signal wave packet to expand and the amplitude to decrease, severely reducing the signal resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, the anisotropy of composite structures causes the propagation characteristics of Lamb waves to vary in all directions, making it more difficult to analyze the different wave packets in the Lamb wave signal and compensate for the dispersion, ultimately affecting the accuracy and reliability of damage monitoring.

[0004] Currently, the commonly used dispersion compensation methods are mainly divided into two categories: time reversal and Fourier domain signal processing methods.

[0005] Among them, the time reversal method can automatically compensate for dispersion without obtaining prior knowledge of the propagation characteristics of Lamb waves in the structure. However, the time information of the signal during propagation will be eliminated in this process, and additional wave packets will be generated when processing multi-wave packet signals, which will bring inconvenience to subsequent damage location or imaging.

[0006] Fourier domain signal processing methods can simultaneously compensate for multiple wave packets with the same propagation characteristics in Lamb wave signals, but they require prior knowledge of the wave number curve of Lamb waves in the structure.

[0007] However, the propagation characteristics of Lamb waves in different directions in anisotropic structures vary. Lamb wave damage scattering signals typically contain multipath propagation signal packets, each with different dispersion characteristics. Furthermore, the scattered signal path consists of multiple paths with different propagation directions, and the Lamb wave dispersion characteristics vary from path to path. Therefore, using a single-directional wavenumber curve to compensate for the dispersion of the damage scattered signal packet in anisotropic structures can lead to a mismatch between the wavenumber and the signal propagation characteristics. While calculating a comprehensive wavenumber curve based on the relative position of each potential damage point in the structure and the piezoelectric patch for dispersion compensation can address the wavenumber mismatch, the computational cost increases significantly. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a high-precision and rapid damage imaging method for anisotropic dispersive structures. By optimizing the wavenumber difference at the center frequency, the matching dispersion compensation results of the potential damage path are extracted from the database, avoiding the need for dispersion compensation processing when calculating the pixel value of each potential damage point. While ensuring the best match between the wavenumber and the damage scattering signal, the computational cost is greatly reduced.

Figure 7 Comparison of the measured relative wave number curve K at 0° direction re (0°,ω), comprehensive wave number curve and comprehensive wave number curve The difference between the original dispersion and the damage scattering signal s 5-8 (t) Figure 8 As shown in Figure 1, the secondary boundary reflection signals of damage D1, D2, and D2 are aliased, and the arrival position of the damage scattered signal cannot be identified. re The dispersion compensation damage scattering signal of (0°,ω) like Figure 9 As shown in Figure 2, the damage scattering signal wave packet has been partially recompressed, but the aliasing of the two damage signals D1 and D2 and the damage secondary boundary reflection signal is still serious and no separation occurs. and Matched dispersion compensation results and like Figure 10 and 11As shown in the figure, it can be clearly seen that the scattered wave packet is separated from the secondary boundary reflection signal of the damage. The amplitude of the D1 damage scattered signal is enhanced to 0.11V, and the amplitude of the D2 damage scattered signal is enhanced to 0.15V. Since the propagation characteristics of the two damage scattered wave packets are similar, and The compensation effect is close.

[0144] Step 3: Perform the following array signal enhancement processing on the matched dispersion compensation damage scattering signals of damage points D1 and D2:

[0145]

[0146] where t ij (x, y) is the scattered signal from the excited piezoelectric piece P i Warp Point O h Transmitted to the sensing piezoelectric piece P j The propagation time is calculated as:

[0147]

[0148] where c io is the scattered signal from P i Pass to point O h The group velocity, c jo is the scattered signal from point O h Pass to P j The group velocity, (x i ,y i ) and (x j ,y j ) are the piezoelectric sheets P i and P j coordinates of

[0149] Step 4: Calculate the pixel values ​​of the damage points D1 and D2

[0150] (8) Steps 6-7 are executed repeatedly until the pixel values ​​of all monitoring areas are calculated to obtain high-resolution damage imaging results.

[0151] The pixel values ​​of all points in the structure monitoring area are calculated, and the damage imaging results of the original dispersion signal are as follows: Figure 12 As shown, it can be seen that the damage points in the imaging results are divergent and the shape of the damage points is irregular, making it difficult to accurately determine the damage location. re The imaging results of the non-matching dispersion compensation damage at (0°,ω) are as follows Figure 13 As shown in Figure 1, it can be found that the imaging resolution has been effectively improved, the number of artifacts has been reduced, and a bright area appears near the actual damage location, but the two damages are not separated. The high-precision damage imaging results based on the matching dispersion compensation results are shown in Figure 1. Figure 14As shown in the image, the damage points are separated, the signal-to-noise ratio is significantly improved, the damage points are more focused, and the pixel values ​​are higher, allowing the locations of the two damages to be accurately determined. Analysis of the above imaging results shows that the proposed method for damage imaging of anisotropic structures can effectively improve the resolution and accuracy of the imaging results, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.

[0152] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned high-precision and rapid damage imaging method for anisotropic dispersive structures. By optimizing the wavenumber difference at the center frequency, the matching dispersion compensation results of the potential damage path are extracted from the database, avoiding the need to perform dispersion compensation processing when calculating the pixel value of each potential damage point. While ensuring the best match between the wavenumber and the damage scattering signal, the calculation cost is greatly reduced.

[0153] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solutions of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
