The air compressor and air gun are used to excite and simulate passive random guided waves under real working conditions on a planar structure 103. The two planar structures 103 are connected by bolts 104. Specific embodiments

[0100] The following is a further description of a bolt loosening detection method based on passive flow-induced random guided waves proposed by the present invention in conjunction with an embodiment:

[0101] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, two 6061 aluminum plates connected by two M8 bolts are used. The elastic modulus E of the aluminum plate is 71 GPa, the Poisson's ratio v is 0.33, and the density ρ is 2750 kg / m 3 The specifications of a single aluminum plate are 400mm×400mm×1mm, and the distance between the two bolts is 100mm. The experiment uses an air compressor and a spray gun to generate compressed gas and excite flow-induced vibration noise on the aluminum plate. The gas flow rate is about 30m / s. A total of eight piezoelectric ceramic sensors are arranged on the two aluminum plates to receive random guided wave signals. The experimental setup and passive random guided wave excitation device are as follows Figure 3 and Figure 4 The specific parameters of the experimental sample, sensor layout and blowing excitation position are shown in Figure 5 During the experiment, a torque wrench was used to change the bolt tightening conditions to: (i) T1 = 0 N·m, T2 = 0 N·m; (ii) T1 = 16 N·m, T2 = 0 N·m; (iii) T1 = 0 N·m, T2 = 16 N·m; and (iv) T1 = 16 N·m, T2 = 16 N·m. Four experimental conditions were used in total. After each adjustment, air blowing was performed on the left side of the sample.

[0102] Firstly, the time of flight of the guided wave path through different bolts is verified. Figure 6a The cross-correlation image of sensors 2 and 5 under experimental condition (ii), Figure 6b The cross-correlation image of sensors 3 and 8 under experimental condition (iii), Figure 6a and Figure 6b The band-pass filter frequency in each of the above figures is 20 kHz, 40 kHz, 60 kHz and 80 kHz respectively. The red cross represents the theoretical time of flight of the guided wave path through the first bolt, and the red circle represents the theoretical time of flight of the guided wave path through the second bolt. When the bolt is tightened, a wave packet appears at the theoretical time of flight of the bolt on the cross-correlation image. Conversely, when the bolt is loosened, there is no wave packet or a very small wave packet at the theoretical position on the cross-correlation image, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction result, ensuring that the tightening state of the bolt can be clearly distinguished from the imaging result.

[0103] Then, a 400 mm x 400 mm area containing two bolts to be detected is discretized, and then the tightening degree of the bolts is imaged for this area using the imaging equation in step S3. Four pairs of sensors are used for imaging, Figure 5 The sensor pairs in the above figures are 1&6, 2&5, 3&7 and 4&8, and 10 band-pass filter center frequencies are used, including 10 kHz, 20 kHz, …, 100 kHz. Figure 5 The midpoint of the two bolts is set as the coordinate origin, and the imaging results of the four tightening conditions are shown in FIG. 7. Figures 7a-7d The red solid hexagon represents the actual position of the completely tightened bolt, and the black hollow hexagon represents the actual position of the completely loosened bolt. From the imaging results in FIG. 7, it can be seen that when the bolt is completely tightened, the corresponding area will be highlighted in the imaging figure. Conversely, when the bolt is completely loosened, there will be no highlight around the corresponding area, or the imaging intensity is much smaller than when the bolt is completely tightened.

[0104] In this embodiment, by analyzing the two-dimensional imaging of the tightening degree of the double-bolt connection structure, it is proved that the proposed passive detection method can simultaneously identify the tightening state of multiple bolts. In addition, in specific practical applications, the size of the imaging function increases with the number of fastening bolts, because the greater the torque on the bolt, the higher the guided wave energy transmitted through it, and the amplitude of the imaging equation is related to the guided wave energy transmitted through the bolt, which can also help to judge the tightening degree of the bolt joint.

[0105] The above-described embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the scope of the present application. Without departing from the design spirit of the present application, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present application made by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present application.
