[0002] With the development of science and technology, in industrial production, plate structures with a large number of bends need to be non-destructively tested to ensure the normal operation of the structural parts. As the requirements for testing are getting higher and higher, it is no longer enough to just detect the approximate location and shape of the defects, but it is necessary to quantitatively give the exact location and specific shape of the defects.

[0003] In recent years, many scholars have participated in research in this area and have produced many results, including eddy current testing, ultrasonic C-scanning, ultrasonic testing, etc. Among them, ultrasonic guided waves are widely used in non-destructive testing due to their long propagation distance, low attenuation, and concentrated energy. However, when ultrasonic guided waves propagate in the curved section of the plate, even if there are no defects, mode conversion and scattering will occur. This will have a certain impact on non-destructive testing. Therefore, it becomes very difficult and important to use ultrasonic guided waves to accurately reconstruct the location and specific shape of the defect. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0095] S1. Solve the semi-analytical Green's function in the curved plate: Utilize the modal orthogonality and use the DtN finite element method to solve the scattered wave field. Then use the analytical Green's function in the straight plate to derive the semi-analytical Green's function in the assembled curved plate.

[0096] Firstly, the wave field generated by the unit guided wave mode incident on the curved part is solved by the DtN finite element method; then it is multiplied by the modal coefficient of the mode in the far-field Green's function of the straight plate; and then the semi-analytical Green's function in the curved plate is obtained according to the orthogonality of the modes.

[0097] The method for solving the semi-analytical Green's function in the curved plate specifically comprises the following steps:

[0098] S11. Assume that the SH wave Green's function in the straight plate is:

[0099]

[0100] Where Y and X are the coordinates of the field point and source point respectively, and their horizontal and vertical coordinate components are (Y1, Y2) and (X1, X2) respectively. The symbol i represents the imaginary unit, J is the mode number, and β J =Jπ / 2b, is the wave number, b is the half plate thickness, μ is the material parameter, and the wave structure function

[0101] Now ask for Figure 2 The SH wave Green's function in the curved plate is shown in Figure 1. Assume that the source point X is located on the left side of the boundary Γ1, and the field point Y is located in the curved part surrounded by the boundaries Γ1 to Γ4; compared with the Green's function in the straight plate, the part related to X remains unchanged, and the part related to Y becomes the wave field generated by the unit SH wave mode incident on the curved part. Therefore, the semi-analytical Green's function G(Y,X) of the SH wave in the curved plate is:

It represents the displacement response in the i direction at Y when a unit force is applied in the k direction at X. The displacement and stress wave structures of the J-th unit Lamb guided wave mode propagating to the right can be obtained by the numerical calculation method of the guided wave dispersion equation (where the positive and negative signs before J represent propagation to the right and left, respectively, the same below);

[0109] Now ask for Figure 2 The Lamb wave Green's function in the curved plate is shown. Assume that the source point X is located on the left side of the boundary Γ1, and the field point Y is located in the curved part surrounded by the boundaries Γ1 to Γ4; then compared with the Green's function in the straight plate, the part related to X remains unchanged, and the part related to Y becomes the wave field generated by the unit Lamb wave mode incident on the curved part. Therefore, the semi-analytical Green's function of the Lamb wave in the curved plate is G ik (Y,X) is:

Use the DtN finite element method to solve the wave field generated by the unit mode incident wave passing through the curved area of ​​the flat plate, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the left and right parts of the curved plate structure are straight, with only a curved part in the middle at an angle of θ. DtN boundary conditions are applied to the left and right sides, and free boundary conditions are applied to the upper and lower sides. This area is the actual simulation area. Compared with the general finite element method, the scattering coefficient obtained by this method has the advantages of not requiring a perfect matching layer and only requiring simple post-processing. The meshing of the moment method can also be expanded by it.

In the Ith unit, [B (I) ] is the geometry matrix, [D] is the elasticity matrix, [N (I) ] is the shape function matrix, ρ is the material density, S I Represents the unit area. tot ] and [F tot ] are the total wavefield displacement vector and the external force vector caused by the incident wave, respectively. 2 [M] is written as

[0118] For the SH wave scattering problem, [k e ] I With [m e ] I All are 8×8 matrices, the unit uses 8-node quadrilateral isoparametric units, and the shape function A quadratic shape function is used.

[0119]

[0120] [k e ] and [m e ] are all 8×8 matrices.

[0121] For Lamb wave scattering, [k e ] I With [m e ] I All are 16×16 matrices, and the units also use 8-node quadrilateral isoparametric units. The shape function N i Quadratic shape functions are also used.

[0122]

[0123]

[0124] [k e ] and [m e ] are all 16×16 matrices.

The row number i is the modal number, and the column number j is the overall number of the node on the cross section. When the node with the overall number j is shared by several units, the integrated shape function needs to traverse these units and superimpose. (I) J = j means that the node with the internal number of the Jth node (J = 1...8) of the Ith unit is exactly the node with the overall number j.
