Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ultrasonic guided wave structure health monitoring, in particular to a dispersion guided wave dense array damage monitoring method under large range non-uniform environmental temperature change. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ultrasonic guided wave dense array damage monitoring method has become one of the most effective aviation structure health monitoring methods, and has gradually been put into engineering application. However, the ultrasonic guided wave has dispersion characteristics when propagating, which will change the wave packet waveform of the ultrasonic guided wave, cause the wave packet to expand, the amplitude to become smaller, the wave packet energy to disperse, and the farther the propagation distance, the more serious the wave packet expansion, which will seriously reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the synthesized signal of the traditional ultrasonic guided wave dense array technology and the resolution ability to damage signal. On the other hand, in actual application, the temperature change of the aviation structure service environment will affect the properties of the sensor, the adhesive layer and the measured structure, causing the ultrasonic guided wave monitoring signal to change extra damage-irrelevant. This environmental temperature influence will disturb and even drown the real damage information in the monitoring signal, and ultimately reduce the reliability of the dense array damage imaging result.

[0003] In view of the above problems, there are currently a variety of dispersion compensation and temperature compensation methods. In the dispersion compensation method, they only solve the influence of dispersion on the ultrasonic guided wave dense array damage monitoring on one side, which will lead to the final dense array damage imaging resolution not high enough or even damage monitoring failure.

[0004] In actual application, as the temperature change range increases, the influence of temperature on amplitude gradually becomes serious, and the compensation ability of time domain bending to signal amplitude is limited, so the method limits the temperature compensation range of the ultrasonic guided wave. When the environmental temperature changes in a large range and non-uniformly, the amplitude of each wave packet of the ultrasonic guided wave signal changes non-uniformly, which leads to the traditional overall signal matching being unable to well compensate the amplitude difference of each wave packet, thereby limiting the application in a large range of non-uniform environment.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a dispersion guided wave dense array damage monitoring method under large range non-uniform environmental temperature change to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0143] S7: Beam synthesis processing is performed on the damage scattering signals: for each scanning angle θ, the beam synthesis is performed on all the damage scattering signals s DC-TC (t) obtained in step S6 to obtain the beam synthesis signals of each scanning angle The frequency domain pre-interpolation processing is performed on the damage scattering signals of each piezoelectric patch pair to obtain The beam synthesis processing is performed on the damage scattering signals of each piezoelectric patch pair after the frequency domain pre-interpolation processing at all angles to obtain Figure 11 The comparison diagram of the beam synthesis results ss1(140°, 80℃, t) of the damage angle 140° and the temperature difference of 65℃ and the beam synthesis results ss1(140°, 15℃, t) of the same temperature of 15℃ at normal temperature can be observed. It can be observed that the difference between ss1(140°, 80℃, t) and ss1(140°, 15℃, t) is large, and there are multiple wave packets with huge amplitudes. After the temperature compensation processing, the frequency domain beam synthesis result is basically consistent with ss1(140°, 15℃, t), as shown in FIG. 18.

[0154] S73: performing dispersion compensation processing on to obtain

[0155] S8: calculating the dense array damage monitoring imaging result according to the beam synthesis signals at each scanning angle obtained in step S7. The dense array damage monitoring imaging result is calculated according to the beam synthesis signals at each angle after dispersion compensation processing.​​

[0156] Figure 15 For the result of the damage imaging of the phased array at the same temperature of 15℃, the "△" in the figure is the real damage position. It can be seen that a clear focus bright spot appears at the real damage position. Figure 16 For the result of the damage imaging of the phased array with a temperature difference of 65℃, it can be seen that no focus point can be seen at the real damage position, but at the positions of (200, 0) and (-200, 0), due to the influence of temperature on the boundary reflection, a clear focus and pixel value huge false image appears, thereby causing the damage information to be submerged. Figure 17 For the result of the damage imaging of the phased array after temperature compensation processing, it can be observed that the huge false image at the boundary caused by temperature is obviously suppressed, and similar to the result of the damage imaging of the phased array at the same temperature of 15℃, a clear and focused bright spot appears at the real damage position.

[0157] In step S8, specifically, the region imaged by the dense array is divided into 1mm x 1mm squares, and each square is a pixel point in the damage imaging image;

[0158] Each square is assumed to be a potential damage point, the angle θ and the distance R of the square relative to the center of the dense array are determined, and the calculation formula of the angle θ is:

[0159] θ = arctan(y / x)

[0160] wherein arctan() is the inverse tangent function, θ is rounded when calculated, and x and y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the square in the Cartesian coordinate system;

[0161] The calculation formula of the distance R is:

[0162]

[0163] The beam synthesis signal at the angle θ is determined according to the distance R The wave packet amplitude scattered from the square, and the amplitude is taken as the pixel value of the square, and finally the imaging result corresponding to the scanning region is obtained. When the wave packet amplitude is determined according to the distance R, the data point position of the ultrasonic guided wave signal corresponding to the square needs to be calculated, and the calculation formula is:

[0164] n = Rf a / 0.5c g

[0165] wherein n ∈ [1, N] is the number of signal data points, f a is the signal sampling rate.

[0166] Therefore, the present application adopts the above-mentioned dispersion wave dense array damage monitoring method under large-range non-uniform temperature variation, combines frequency domain beam synthesis and dispersion compensation to solve the problems of interference of ultrasonic wave dispersion on the process of dense array beam synthesis and resolution reduction caused by wave packet expansion, and solves the non-uniform problems of amplitude and phase variation of each wave packet caused by large-range non-uniform temperature variation, compensates the non-uniform phase variation through the powerful flexible regulation ability of time domain bending, matches the signals at each temperature in the database with the current monitoring signals in segments to solve the non-uniform problem of amplitude variation, and finally realizes the dispersion ultrasonic wave dense array damage monitoring under large-range non-uniform temperature variation.
