When the water temperature rises to a set value, the temperature controller 3-3 turns off the electric heating belt 3-21 and the circulating water pump 3-9 to stop heating. When the water temperature decreases below the set value, the controller turns on the electric heating belt 3-21 and the circulating water pump 3-9 to start heating again.
[0100] In terms of dielectric constant monitoring, the vector network analyzer 2-1 can be set to perform periodic sweep measurement to monitor the change of the dielectric constant of the sample over time or other conditions.
[0101] In terms of displacement control, the start-stop time and speed of the displacement controller 4-3 are set according to the set dielectric constant monitoring time.

[0109] After the solution is injected, a part of the composite material is in the target water pipe 3-1, and the rest is not in the target water pipe 3-1.
[0110] At this time, the electromagnetic parameters of the composite material in the dry state can be measured by the resonant cavity 2-2 and the waveguide coupler 2-3 in the dielectric constant monitoring assembly.
[0111] The composite material in the target water pipe 3-1 is divided into measurement sections. According to the moving direction of the target water pipe 3-1, the composite material is divided into a first measurement section, a second measurement section, and an nth measurement section.
[0112] When the first measurement section of the composite material stays in the water circulation assembly for a first predetermined time, the water circulation assembly and the dielectric constant monitoring assembly are moved by the moving drive assembly, until the first measurement section of the composite material stays in the detection range of the dielectric constant monitoring assembly, and the second measurement section is still in the water circulation assembly. The resonant frequency of the composite material in the wet state is measured in the first predetermined time period.
[0113] When the second measuring section of the composite material stays in the target water pipe 3-1 for a second preset time in the water circulation assembly, the water circulation assembly and the dielectric constant monitoring assembly are moved by the movement driving assembly until the second measuring section of the composite material stays in the detection range of the dielectric constant monitoring assembly and the third measuring section is also in the water circulation assembly. The resonant frequency of the material in the wet state is measured in the second preset time, and the resonant frequency of the material in the wet state of the nth measuring section is measured in the same way.
[0114] According to the data detected by the dielectric constant monitoring assembly, it is judged whether the measured section of the composite material has internal damage in the preset environment. The judgment is based on the data obtained by the vector network analyzer, the change rate of the resonant frequency, the real part and the imaginary part of the dielectric constant, and the increase of the water absorption rate of the material, which usually causes the change of the above three factors:
[0115] (1) The resonant frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the product of the permittivity (dielectric constant) and the magnetic permeability of the material. Therefore, if the dielectric constant increases and the magnetic permeability remains unchanged, the resonant frequency will theoretically decrease. This is because the increased dielectric constant makes it more difficult to meet the resonance condition, and a lower frequency is needed to achieve the same electromagnetic standing wave pattern.
[0116] (2) Increase of the real part of the dielectric constant: After the material absorbs water, the polarity of the water molecules enhances the polarization ability of the material, thereby increasing the real part of the dielectric constant. This is because water molecules have a permanent dipole moment and can be polarized in an external electric field, resulting in an increase in the overall polarization of the material. In addition, the increase in free volume inside the material after water absorption also helps to increase the real part of the dielectric constant.
[0117] (3) Increase of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant: The imaginary part of the dielectric constant is related to the absorption and loss of electromagnetic wave energy by the material. After water absorption, the water molecules and other polar groups inside the material increase the energy loss, as they dissipate part of the energy in the form of heat in the electromagnetic field. This loss is usually manifested as dielectric loss, i.e. the reduction of energy during the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the material. Therefore, the increase of water absorption rate will lead to the increase of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant, indicating the enhancement of the absorption ability of the material to electromagnetic waves.
[0118] With the increase of the water absorption rate of the material, the above three factors will change regularly, and the change will show certain data stability with the increase of time. If the dielectric constant changes differently from the variation in the stable water absorption state, it is judged that there is internal damage.
[0119] In a specific embodiment, the calculation method of the dielectric constant change of each measuring section includes the following contents:
[0120] Water absorption rate of the composite material The test can be performed by setting a transverse contrast sample, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0121] ;
[0122] is the mass of the composite material after absorbing water at t, is the mass of the composite material in a dry state without water absorption.
[0123] According to the test data of the vector network analyzer, the resonance frequency of the composite material after absorbing water at t , the real part and the imaginary part of the dielectric constant, the resonance frequency of the composite material in a dry state without water absorption , the real part and the imaginary part of the dielectric constant can be calculated respectively by parameter inversion.
[0124] ;
[0125] ;
[0126] ;
[0127] , , respectively represent the functional relationship between the resonance frequency, the real part of the dielectric constant, the imaginary part of the dielectric constant and the water absorption rate under the change of time. The above related data can be measured by setting experiments, and the specific form of the function can be obtained after calculation and analysis, and the empirical formula is obtained. The empirical formula can be used to evaluate the water absorption rate of various types of non-conductive composite materials. And according to whether the measured electromagnetic parameters change suddenly or not, it can be judged whether damage occurs inside the composite material.
[0128] The specific principle of the method in this embodiment is:
[0129] A rectangular or cylindrical microwave resonant cavity 2-2 is constructed, and the size and shape of the resonant cavity 2-2 are designed according to the cross-sectional shape and size of the composite material to be measured.
[0130] As shown in (a) of FIG. 2, Figure 4 The resonant cavity 2-2 is wrapped outside the composite material sample to be measured, and a waveguide coupler 2-3 matched with the resonant cavity 2-2 is designed for transmitting microwave signals. As shown in FIG. 2, Figure 4Fig. 4 (b) and 4 (c) show the four-port resonant cavity 2-2 coupler, wherein the upper and lower two ports are microwave input and output ports respectively, and the left and right two ports are embedded with the composite material sample to be measured, (b) is the basic type of incident, reflected and transmitted microwave signals in the four-port resonant cavity 2-2 coupler, and (c) is a schematic diagram of collecting incident, reflected and transmitted microwave signals from Port1 / 2 after embedding the sample to be measured in the four-port resonant cavity 2-2 coupler. The microwave resonant cavity 2-2 is used as a sensor, and the resonant cavity 2-2 has a specific resonant frequency, which is associated with the dielectric properties of the non-conductive composite material such as glass fiber.
[0131] The composite material sample is passed through the resonant cavity 2-2 of the coupler to ensure that the microwave can penetrate the sample. The microwave signal is introduced and introduced into the resonant cavity 2-2 through the waveguide coupler 2-3, and the waveguide coupler 2-3 and the resonant cavity 2-2 form good electromagnetic coupling.
[0132] The microwave signal is input to the resonant cavity 2-2 through the waveguide coupler 2-3, and the resonant frequency f and the dielectric constant are measured. When the water content of the composite material changes, the dielectric properties change, causing the resonant frequency and dielectric constant of the resonant cavity 2-2 to change.
[0133] The changes of the resonant frequency and the dielectric constant are monitored, and the water content of the composite material is calculated through the pre-established calibration curve or mathematical model, and whether the damage occurs inside the composite material is judged by the sudden change of the dielectric properties.
[0134] The monitoring scheme of the resonant cavity 2-2 coupler based on the transmission line theory adopted by the present application can quickly detect the slight change of the water content of the composite material. The method does not need to destroy the sample and can be monitored online.
[0135] The technical means adopted by the present application is very sensitive to the change of the dielectric properties of the material, so it has high measurement accuracy.
[0136] The water circulation assembly adopted by the present application consumes less solution mass, and is easy to replace and adjust, and has good experimental convenience.
[0137] The present application has a simple design, which can carry out experiments on a single composite material, and can also carry out experiments on multiple composite materials through expansion design, and has good expansibility.
[0138] The present application can select a suitable water circulation assembly according to the type and temperature condition of the solution required by the aging experiment, and has good implementability.
[0139] The silicone plug sealing scheme adopted by the present application can better meet the needs of solution sealing without leakage, and the silicone rubber has good high and low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance characteristics, and has good universality.
