[0003] However, in the related technologies, high-temperature sensors have many limitations. At the same time, traditional waveguide rods often adopt a "one rod, one channel" approach when configuring sensors, which makes the acquisition system complex and redundant, affecting the space utilization, efficiency and safety of the aircraft, and urgently needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0006] Through the above technical solution, the embodiment of the present application can realize damage monitoring of multiple areas of the hot end structure with only a small number of sensors through the unique design of special-shaped waveguide rods, multiple sub-waveguides coupled with the hot end structure and integrated into the anchor plate, and multiple acoustic emission sensors on the anchor plate. It effectively solves the problem that sensors cannot be directly arranged on the surface of the hot end structure of the spacecraft, and overcomes the redundancy problem of the acquisition system caused by the "one rod and one channel" of the traditional waveguide rod, greatly improving the space utilization rate and system efficiency, enhancing the safety of the aircraft, and can still work reliably in extreme environments, effectively ensuring the healthy monitoring of the hot end structure of the aerospace vehicle.

[0007] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the plurality of acoustic emission sensors are further used to pick up arrival times using Akaike information criterion, and based on the arrival times, determine the target sub-waveguide by the time difference of the acoustic emission waves reaching each acoustic emission sensor.

[0019] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, determining the target sub-waveguide of the transmission signal according to the acoustic emission signal includes: the multiple acoustic emission sensors are further used to pick up the arrival time using the Akaike information criterion, and based on the arrival time, determine the target sub-waveguide by the time difference of the acoustic emission wave reaching each acoustic emission sensor.

[0020] Through the above technical scheme, the embodiment of the present application can more accurately determine the time when the acoustic emission wave arrives at each sensor by picking up the arrival time by using the Akaike information criterion, and then determine the target sub-waveguide based on the time difference, thereby effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of the acoustic emission signal processing, so that in the complex monitoring system of multiple sub-waveguides and multiple sensors, the damaged area of ​​the hot end structure can be located more efficiently and accurately, and the accuracy and effectiveness of the entire special-shaped waveguide rod monitoring system for hot end structure damage monitoring are enhanced, providing more powerful technical support for ensuring the safety and reliability of the hot end structure of aerospace vehicles.

[0021] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the calculation formula of the arrival time is:

[0022] AIC(k)=klg{Var(x[1,k])}+(Nk-1)lg{Var(x[k+1,N])},

[0023] Among them, x is the time series of the acoustic emission signal, k is the dividing point of the two time windows in the time series, and N is the total number of time samples.

[0042] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0043] The following describes the special-shaped waveguide rod for damage monitoring of the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle in the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the problems mentioned in the above background technology, such as the inability to directly arrange sensors on the hot end structure of the spacecraft due to high temperature and the redundancy of the acquisition system caused by the traditional waveguide rod, the present application provides a special-shaped waveguide rod for damage monitoring of the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle. In the device, a unique special-shaped waveguide rod design can be used, and multiple sub-waveguides are coupled with the hot end structure and integrated into the anchor plate. With the multiple acoustic emission sensors on the anchor plate, only a small number of sensors can be used to realize damage monitoring of multiple areas of the hot end structure. It effectively solves the problem that the high temperature on the surface of the spacecraft makes it impossible to directly arrange sensors, and at the same time overcomes the redundancy of the acquisition system caused by the "one rod and one channel" of the traditional waveguide rod, greatly improves the space utilization rate and system efficiency, enhances the safety of the aircraft, and can still work reliably in extreme environments, effectively ensuring the health monitoring of the hot end structure of the aerospace vehicle. Therefore, the problems in the related technology that the hot end structure of the spacecraft cannot be directly arranged due to high temperature and the redundancy of the acquisition system caused by the traditional waveguide rod are solved.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a special-shaped waveguide rod for monitoring damage to the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the special-shaped waveguide rod for monitoring the damage of the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle includes: an acoustic emission sensor 1, an anchor plate 2 and a sub-waveguide 3, and also includes Figure 2 and Figure 3The sub-waveguide base 4, sub-waveguide thread 5, sub-waveguide mounting hole 6 and sensor placement position 7 are shown.

[0046] Specifically, the acoustic emission sensor 1 is an ordinary room temperature sensor; the sub-waveguide 3 is a flexible waveguide (preferably a flexible material with low stiffness, with a minimum diameter d≤5mm); the anchor plate 2 is a circular platform that integrates the sub-waveguide through threaded connection. It should be noted that the connection between the sub-waveguide and the anchor plate includes but is not limited to threads, interference fit, etc., which can effectively ensure the effective propagation of waves. The embodiment of the present application collects the acoustic emission signal transmitted by the sub-waveguide by placing 3 (or more) sensors on the prototype platform, and determines the waveguide rod that transmits the signal through a positioning method, thereby confirming the damaged area.

[0047] The sub-waveguide 3 is coupled with the hot end structure of the aerospace vehicle, and the sub-waveguide is integrated on the anchor plate, and each sub-waveguide detects the monitoring area corresponding to the hot end structure.

[0048] Specifically, the base coupled with the hot end structure has a power law characteristic to enhance the signal strength of the waveguide transmission, wherein the power law characteristic is that the diameter from the bottom end of the base to the waveguide body changes according to the power law rule, and the specific diameter d dz The expression is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] Wherein, x is the distance from the end face of the minimum diameter of the base, D is the maximum diameter of the base, d is the minimum diameter of the base, d is the length of the base, and m is the power exponent (the preferred power exponent is 2.2).

[0051] In actual implementation, the sub-waveguide distribution positions correspond to the monitoring areas of the hot end structure. For example, when it is necessary to monitor multiple specific parts or areas of the hot end structure, the sub-waveguides will be reasonably arranged on the anchor plate according to the layout of these areas to achieve comprehensive and effective monitoring coverage. Assuming that a hot end component with a complex shape is to be monitored, the sub-waveguides may be distributed at certain angles around the center of the anchor plate to ensure that each sub-waveguide can effectively receive the acoustic emission signals generated by its corresponding monitoring area.

[0052] The acoustic emission sensor 1 is arranged on the anchor plate and is used to collect the acoustic emission signal transmitted to the special-shaped waveguide rod, so as to determine the target sub-waveguide of the transmission signal according to the acoustic emission signal, and determine that the monitoring area corresponding to the target sub-waveguide is the damaged area of ​​the hot end structure.

[0053] In the actual implementation process, the sensor and the sub-waveguide work together to locate the damaged area by collecting the time information of the acoustic emission signal from the sensor, combined with the geometric parameters and wave velocity of the sub-waveguide. For example, the Akaike information criterion is used to pick up the wave arrival time, and based on the wave arrival time, the target sub-waveguide is determined by the time difference of the acoustic emission wave reaching each acoustic emission sensor.

[0054] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the calculation formula of the arrival time is:

[0055] AIC(k)=klg{Var(x[1,k])}+(Nk-1)lg{Var(x[k+1,N])},

[0056] Among them, x is the time series of the acoustic emission signal, k is the dividing point of the two time windows in the time series, and N is the total number of time samples.

[0057] Furthermore, the time difference t between the i-th receiving sensor and the j-th receiving sensor is calculated. ij (i, j = 1, 2, 3 and i ≠ j). This time difference reflects the time difference of the acoustic emission wave reaching different sensors through different paths (corresponding to different sub-waveguides). In the actual calculation process, the collected time data can be accurately processed to remove possible noise interference and measurement errors. Data filtering, averaging and other methods can be used to improve the accuracy of time measurement. For example, the arrival time obtained by multiple measurements is averaged to reduce the impact of single measurement errors on the time difference calculation results.

[0058] Furthermore, the sub-waveguides that transmit the acoustic emission signals in the anchor plate are determined using a geometric method. The geometric method is as follows:

[0059] 1) According to the layout requirements of sub-waveguides and sensors, measure Figure 4 The distance L between the sub-waveguide and the sensor is shown mk , where m represents the mth sensor (m=1,2,3) and k represents the kth sub-waveguide (k=1,2,3…,N).

[0060] 2) By measuring the wave velocity v in the anchor plate, the theoretical time difference between the sensors corresponding to the sub-waveguide as the wave source is calculated (i, j = 1, 2, 3 and i ≠ j; k = 1, 2, 3 ..., N), and construct a theoretical time difference database.

[0061] 3) Calculate the deviation Error(k) between the theoretical time difference of each sensor and the test time difference in step 3. The specific expression is:

[0062]

[0063] 4) The deviation between the theoretical time difference and the test time difference of each sub-waveguide is calculated, and the sub-waveguide corresponding to the minimum deviation is taken as the waveguide for transmitting the acoustic emission signal. The specific expression is as follows:

[0064] Min{Error(1),...,Error(k),...,Error(N)},

[0065] Then, the detection area corresponding to the sub-waveguide is the damaged area.

[0066] The following is a specific example to further explain the embodiment of the present application.

[0067] In order to simplify the calculation procedure, this embodiment provides a special-shaped waveguide rod (such as Figure 5 As shown), the six regions are relatively independent. In addition, the anchor plate in this embodiment can be 5 mm thick and 200 mm in diameter; the number of sub-waveguides is 6 and evenly distributed at 70 mm from the center of the anchor plate. The specific implementation process of the case is as follows: Figure 6 As shown:

[0068] Step S601: Calculate the theoretical time difference between each sensor by measuring the distance between the six sub-waveguides and the sensor.

[0069] To calculate the theoretical time difference between the sensors, it is necessary to know the propagation velocity v of the acoustic emission wave in the sub-waveguide. This wave velocity can be obtained through experimental measurement or calculated based on material properties and wave propagation theory.

[0070] Step S602: using the finite element method to perform acoustic emission tests in areas ①, ② and ④ respectively, and using the AIC method to obtain the arrival time of the received signal of each sensor, as shown in FIG7 .

[0071] During the model construction process, the material properties of the hot end structure must be fully considered, including parameters such as elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density, etc. These parameters accurately reflect the behavior of the structure under stress and temperature changes.

[0072] Step S603: Calculate the deviation between the acoustic emission signals generated by the tests in different areas and the corresponding theoretical time differences;

[0073] The formula is in, is the theoretical time difference, Δt ij is the time difference between the sensors obtained by the test.

[0074] Step S604: Calculate and search for the deviation between the theoretical time difference and the test time difference of all sub-waveguides, wherein the monitoring area corresponding to the sub-waveguide with the smallest deviation is the area where the damage acoustic emission source is located.

[0075] Minimum deviation means that in all possible monitoring areas, the result obtained based on the sub-waveguide assumption is closest to the actual situation, that is, the error is the smallest. According to the principle of error minimization, the monitoring area corresponding to the sub-waveguide with the smallest deviation is selected as the area where the damage acoustic emission source is located, which can minimize the impact of the error on the positioning result and improve the accuracy of positioning.

[0076] As shown in Table 1, Table 1 gives the positioning results of three test events with regions ①, ② and ④ as the damage regions.

[0077] Table 1

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] It can be seen from the table (the bold data in the table are the minimum deviations between the theoretical time difference and the test time difference of each sub-waveguide during a test process). When damage occurs in areas ①, ② and ④, the minimum deviation between the test and the theory of the sub-waveguide corresponding to area ① is 3.478×10 -12 , the minimum deviation between the test and theory of the sub-waveguide in region ② is 9.107×10 -13 , the minimum deviation between the test and theory of the sub-waveguide in region ④ is 2.986×10 -13 Therefore, in this implementation case, the positioning method based on the special-shaped waveguide rod can effectively determine the damaged area. This shows that the special-shaped waveguide rod provided in the embodiment of the present application can accurately monitor the damage of multiple areas with only a small number of sensors, and has good application prospects in multi-area monitoring of hot end structures.

[0081] According to the special-shaped waveguide rod for damage monitoring of the hot end structure of aerospace vehicles proposed in the embodiment of the present application, multiple sub-waveguides can be coupled with the hot end structure and integrated into the anchor plate through a unique special-shaped waveguide rod design, and multiple acoustic emission sensors on the anchor plate can be used to achieve damage monitoring of multiple areas of the hot end structure with only a small number of sensors. It effectively solves the problem that sensors cannot be directly arranged due to the high temperature on the surface of the spacecraft, and overcomes the redundancy problem of the acquisition system caused by the "one rod and one channel" of the traditional waveguide rod, greatly improving the space utilization rate and system efficiency, enhancing the safety of the aircraft, and can still work reliably in extreme environments, effectively ensuring the healthy monitoring of the hot end structure of the aerospace vehicle.

[0082] Next, a method for monitoring damage to the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle proposed in accordance with an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] Figure 8 It is a flow chart of a method for monitoring damage to the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0084] like Figure 8 As shown, the method for monitoring damage to the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle comprises the following steps:

[0085] In step S801, the acoustic emission signal transmitted to the special-shaped waveguide rod is collected.

[0086] In step S802, a target sub-waveguide for transmitting a signal is determined according to the acoustic emission signal.

[0087] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, a target sub-waveguide for transmitting a signal is determined based on an acoustic emission signal, including: a plurality of acoustic emission sensors are further used to pick up a wave arrival time using an Akaike information criterion, and based on the wave arrival time, the target sub-waveguide is determined by the time difference of the acoustic emission wave reaching each acoustic emission sensor.

[0088] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the calculation formula of the arrival time is:

[0089] AIC(k)=klg{Var(x[1,k])}+(Nk-1)lg{Var(x[k+1,N])},

[0090] Among them, x is the time series of the acoustic emission signal, k is the dividing point of the two time windows in the time series, and N is the total number of time samples.

[0091] In step S803, it is determined that the monitoring area corresponding to the target sub-waveguide is a damaged area of ​​the hot end structure.

[0092] It should be noted that the aforementioned explanation of the embodiment of the special-shaped waveguide rod for monitoring the damage of the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle is also applicable to the method for monitoring the damage of the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0093] According to the method for monitoring damage to the hot end structure of an aerospace vehicle proposed in the embodiment of the present application, a unique special-shaped waveguide rod design can be used, and multiple sub-waveguides are coupled to the hot end structure and integrated into the anchor plate. In combination with multiple acoustic emission sensors on the anchor plate, damage monitoring of multiple areas of the hot end structure can be achieved with only a small number of sensors. This effectively solves the problem that sensors cannot be directly arranged due to the high temperature on the surface of the spacecraft, and overcomes the redundancy problem of the acquisition system caused by the "one rod and one channel" of the traditional waveguide rod, greatly improving space utilization and system efficiency, enhancing the safety of the aircraft, and can still work reliably in extreme environments, effectively ensuring the healthy monitoring of the hot end structure of the aerospace vehicle.
