Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nondestructive testing technology, specifically to a multimodal mechanical wave detection method and system based on boundary bounce characteristics. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, mechanical wave detection technology has been widely used in non-destructive testing, structural health monitoring, and material characterization. Mechanical waves, including acoustic waves, elastic waves, and ultrasonic waves, have attracted much attention because they can penetrate the interior of materials and respond sensitively to defects, internal stresses, and structural changes. In practical applications, different modes of mechanical waves can provide rich detection information due to their different propagation characteristics and interactions with material boundaries. In particular, multimodal mechanical wave detection technology, by integrating the characteristics of multiple wave modes, has made it possible to accurately detect complex structures and heterogeneous materials. However, with the increasing application demands and the need to improve detection accuracy, in-depth research on the propagation characteristics of mechanical waves inside target objects and how to extract key waveform features have become current research hotspots. Current research focuses on waveform signal processing, propagation path simulation, and multimodal data fusion, laying the theoretical foundation and practical basis for the further development of mechanical wave detection technology.

[0003] Although multimodal mechanical wave detection technology has significant advantages in complex media environments, existing methods still have some limitations and shortcomings. Current technologies typically focus on single-mode waves, lacking comprehensive analysis of multimodal wave characteristics. This limitation leads to the loss of some important information during the detection process, especially the waveform change characteristics during boundary reflection, which cannot be fully utilized. When mechanical waves interact with the boundary of a target object, the characteristics of the reflected waves can reflect the material boundary properties and internal structure. However, current technologies have only superficially studied this characteristic and have not yet formed a systematic analytical method. Furthermore, the lack of a scientifically effective quantitative index in the detection and optimization of multimodal waves makes it difficult to select the optimal wave mode with high detection sensitivity in complex detection environments, thus limiting the robustness and accuracy of the detection results. Therefore, improving the accuracy and practicality of mechanical wave detection is an urgent problem to be solved in current technological development. Summary of the Invention

If L1 ≤ y ≤ L2, a warning message for medium defects is generated, suggesting immediate detailed inspection and taking necessary repair measures. If y ≥ L2, a warning message for serious defects is generated, suggesting immediate stoppage of use and emergency repair or replacement.

[0031] Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-modal mechanical wave detection system based on the boundary bounce characteristics, which can analyze the reflection characteristics when multi-modal mechanical waves encounter boundaries during propagation inside the target object, calculate the boundary bounce values of the multi-modal mechanical waves, and select the mechanical wave with the highest boundary bounce value as the depth waveform feature, solving the problems of insufficient in-depth analysis of reflection characteristics and inaccurate calculation methods of boundary bounce values in current non-destructive testing technologies.

It effectively removes noise and retains the true reflection characteristics, realizing the accurate detection of mechanical waves within materials. A deep understanding of the internal propagation behavior of materials provides strong data support for subsequent defect assessment. By constructing a relational model and inputting deep waveform features into the model, the severity of defects can be predicted, and early warning schemes can be generated. Complex waveform data is transformed into easily understandable defect severity indicators, providing a scientific basis for maintenance decisions. By setting early warning thresholds and generating corresponding early warning information, potential defects can be detected in advance, allowing for timely maintenance measures.

[0040] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 As an embodiment of the present invention, a multimodal mechanical wave detection method based on boundary bounce characteristics is provided, comprising:

[0042] S1: Use sensors to collect and preprocess the waveforms, frequencies, and amplitudes of various modal mechanical waves.

[0043] Furthermore, sensors are used to collect waveforms, frequencies, and amplitudes of various modes of mechanical waves, including selecting MEMS sensors, configuring the sensor's sampling frequency and sampling time, setting the data acquisition time window, and collecting signal data of longitudinal waves, transverse waves, surface waves, and plate waves propagating inside the target object.

[0044] It should be noted that the preprocessing process includes using a Butterworth filter to eliminate noise interference from multiple modes of mechanical waves, resulting in a denoised signal x. filtered (t) is used to normalize the signal so that all signal values ​​fall within the same range, and the normalized value x is calculated. norm (t), represented as:

[0045]

[0046] Where, x min It is the minimum value in the denoised signal, x max It is the maximum value in the denoised signal, x norm (t) is the normalized value.

[0047] It should also be noted that by employing high-precision sensors to collect waveforms, frequencies, and amplitudes of multiple modal mechanical waves and implementing effective preprocessing, the integrity and quality of the raw data are ensured. The selection of MEMS sensors and the configuration of sampling parameters allow for adjustments to the sampling frequency and time window according to different detection needs, thus adapting to various complex detection environments and improving the adaptability of the detection. The filtering and normalization techniques applied during preprocessing effectively remove noise and interference from the signal, enabling subsequent analysis to be based on a cleaner signal and improving the accuracy of data analysis. The normalized signal obtained through preprocessing provides a unified benchmark for comparative analysis between different modal mechanical waves, helping to reveal the differences in the propagation of each modal wave within the material. This lays a solid foundation for subsequent reflection characteristic analysis and boundary bounce value calculation, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the entire detection process.

[0048] S2: Analyze the reflection characteristics of various modes of mechanical waves when they encounter the boundary while propagating inside the target object, calculate the boundary bounce value of various modes of mechanical waves, and select the mechanical wave with the highest boundary bounce value as the depth waveform feature.

[0049] Furthermore, the analysis of the reflection behavior of multiple modal mechanical waves when they encounter boundaries during propagation inside the target object includes applying multimodal mechanical waves at different locations on the target object, recording the response intensity of the waveforms using a high-speed camera and a laser Doppler vibrometer, simulating the response intensity of multiple modal waves at corrosion defects using the finite element analysis software COMSOL Multiphysics, and acquiring background noise signal q in the absence of corrosion defects, calculating the standard deviation σ of the background noise as an indicator of the noise level.

[0050] The reflection behavior of the waveform at different boundaries is recorded, and a multi-scale analysis method is introduced to analyze the boundary bounce characteristics at different scales from macro to micro. This includes using wavelet transform to remove noise while retaining the main features of the waveform in the true reflection characteristics. The field strength S(t,S) of the denoised reflected wave is calculated and expressed as:

[0051]

[0052] Where s(t,s) is the denoised reflected wave field intensity, ψ is the wavelet basis function, s is the scale parameter, t is the time parameter, and x is the time parameter. norm (τ) is the original signal. This is an integral operation where dτ is an infinitesimal increment of the time variable τ. It normalizes the waveform characteristic signal data to the same order of magnitude, and then calculates the normalized signal S. norm (t,s) is represented as:

[0053]

[0054] Among them, S min It is the minimum value in the signal after wavelet transform, S max S is the maximum value in the signal after wavelet transform. norm (t,s) represents the normalized signal.

[0055] Collect background noise signal Q, calculate the standard deviation σ of the background noise as an indicator of noise level, including calculating the mean μ and the variance σ. 2 The standard deviation σ is calculated, and the background noise level is assessed based on the calculated σ. When σ exceeds the preset threshold σ1, it indicates that the background noise level is too high. The background noise signal is then re-acquired, and an adaptive filter is used for further denoising. The denoised background noise signal W(t) is calculated and expressed as:

[0056] W(t) = QH adapt (J)·E(t)

[0057] Where W(t) is the denoised background noise signal, H adapt(J) is the transfer function of the adaptive filter, E(t) is the estimated noise signal, and the standard deviation σ2 of the denoised background noise signal is recalculated as follows:

[0058]

[0059] Where, σ 2 μ represents the standard deviation of the denoised background noise signal. clean The average value of the denoised background noise signal is (W(t)). i )-μ clean ) 2 The square of the difference between each denoised background noise signal value and the average value. For the summation symbol, W(t) i (i) represents the value of the denoised background noise signal at time point i. For the operation of averaging, N is the length of the signal, and i is each time point.

[0060] It should be noted that selecting the mechanical wave with the highest boundary bounce value as the depth waveform feature includes setting the boundary bounce value to R(t,s), expressed as:

[0061]

[0062] Where R(t,s) is the boundary bounce value, and S norm (t,s) represents the normalized reflected wave field intensity. The mechanical wave with the highest boundary bounce value is selected as the depth waveform feature, and the depth waveform feature F is calculated. depth , represented as:

[0063]

[0064] Among them, F depth For depth waveform features, This means finding the values ​​of t and s that maximize R(t,s) across all time scales.

[0065] It should also be noted that by applying multimodal mechanical waves to different locations of the target object and recording the waveform response using a high-speed camera and a laser Doppler vibrometer, comprehensive capture of the mechanical wave reflection behavior is achieved, solving the problem of insufficient depth in the reflection characteristic analysis in existing technologies. By using finite element analysis software and multi-scale analysis methods, the boundary bounce characteristics are analyzed at different scales from macro to micro, effectively identifying small or complex defects and improving the sensitivity and resolution of defect detection. By calculating and comparing the boundary bounce values ​​of different modal mechanical waves, the most representative depth waveform features are selected, thus providing a direct basis for defect depth assessment. By introducing an adaptive filter for further noise reduction, the accuracy of signal processing is improved, ensuring the accuracy of boundary bounce value calculation.

[0066] S3: Build a relationship model, input the depth waveform features into the relationship model, predict the severity of the defect, and generate a warning plan.

[0067] Furthermore, build a relationship model based on the corrosion defect and the depth waveform features, input the depth waveform features into the relationship model, and predict the severity of the defect. The relationship model is set as a linear regression model, and the output model y of the model is calculated and expressed as:

[0068] y = w1F depth,1 + w2F depth,2 + w3F depth,3 + b

[0069] where, w1, w2, w3 are weight parameters, b is a bias term, w1F depth,1 + w2F depth,2 + w3F depth,3 is the depth waveform feature vector, y is the output of the model, and F depth,1 、F depth,2 and F depth,3 are the respective components of the depth waveform feature vector.

[0070] It should be noted that generating a warning plan includes inputting the newly collected depth waveform features into the trained random forest model to obtain a prediction result, setting warning thresholds L1 and L2 according to the prediction result, and generating a warning message. If y < L1, a warning message for a minor defect is generated, and regular inspection and maintenance are recommended. If L1 ≤ y ≤ L2, a warning message for a medium defect is generated, and a detailed inspection is recommended immediately, and necessary repair measures are taken. If y ≥ L2, a warning message for a serious defect is generated, and it is recommended to stop using immediately and perform emergency repair or replacement.

[0071] It should also be noted that by building a linear regression model or other suitable models, complex waveform data can be transformed into an intuitive assessment of the severity of defects, making the detection results easier to understand and apply. Modeling the relationship between depth waveform features and corrosion defects provides a method for quantitatively analyzing the severity of defects. Compared with traditional qualitative analysis, the prediction results are more reliable and specific. By setting warning thresholds and generating warning messages, early detection and real-time monitoring of potential defects are achieved, providing timely and effective information support for maintenance decisions. The generation of warning plans not only improves the practicality of the detection system but also optimizes the preventive ability in actual engineering applications, helping to reduce losses and risks caused by the failure to detect defects in a timely manner.

[0072] Example 2 is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a multimodal mechanical wave detection method based on boundary bounce characteristics. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.

[0073] First, six different types of test objects were selected, each with representative material properties. The test equipment included MEMS sensors, a high-speed camera, a laser Doppler vibrometer, and the finite element analysis software COMSOL Multiphysics. During the data acquisition phase, the sensors were configured to operate at a frequency of 1000 Hz and a sampling time of 5 seconds to collect signal data of longitudinal waves, transverse waves, surface waves, and plate waves propagating within the target objects. To ensure data quality, Butterworth filters were used to preprocess the acquired signals to eliminate noise interference, and normalization was applied to ensure that the signal values ​​fell within the same range. Regarding the calculation of boundary bounce values... This invention employs the denoised reflected wave field strength as the basis for calculating the boundary bounce value, selects the mechanical wave with the highest boundary bounce value as the depth waveform feature, and provides a calculation method based on normalized reflected wave field strength, enabling the depth waveform feature to more accurately reflect defect information. Finally, by constructing a relational model and inputting the depth waveform feature into the model, the severity of the defect is predicted, and an early warning scheme is generated. This not only considers the relationship between the depth waveform feature and the severity of the defect but also introduces a random forest model to improve the accuracy and reliability of the prediction. Experimental results show that this invention has advantages in improving signal quality, accurately calculating boundary bounce values, and generating early warning schemes.
