AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot comprehensively detect delamination defects in carbon fiber plates of different sizes, and existing linear frequency modulated Lamb wave imaging methods cannot obtain accurate defect imaging images.
By employing linear frequency modulated Lamb wave excitation combined with a fully convolutional neural network, a Lamb wave signal is acquired through a piezoelectric transducer and subjected to wavelet transform to construct an imaging model. The fully convolutional neural network is then used to extract the time-frequency domain signal features of the Lamb wave, thereby achieving accurate imaging of defects.
It enables accurate imaging and identification of delamination defects in carbon fiber plates, reduces model training costs, and improves the accuracy and comprehensiveness of detection.
