Description

Technical Field

[0002] The carbon fiber composite material industry is in a booming golden period. It is not only a key force driving industrial upgrading but also a typical representative of new quality productivity. Carbon fiber composite materials have the advantages of high specific strength, high specific modulus, and excellent designability, and are widely used in many cutting-edge fields such as aerospace, ships and vehicles, consumer electronics, construction engineering, and robot manufacturing. However, potential structural defects are inevitable during the manufacturing process of carbon fiber composite materials, and structural damage and aging phenomena such as internal fiber fracture are inevitable during long-term service. These potential damages are often imperceptible to the naked eye, but they can reduce the mechanical strength of the material by more than half, seriously threatening the structural stability of the composite material. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a technical measure that can perform non-destructive detection on potential damages of carbon fiber composite materials and evaluate their mechanical properties.

[0003] In the field of non-destructive damage detection of carbon fiber composite materials, the most widely used non-destructive detection methods mainly include ultrasonic detection method, CT detection, acoustic emission detection, and infrared thermography, etc.

[0004] Patent CN202211360912.0 discloses an ultrasonic quantitative evaluation device and method for impact damage of carbon fiber composite materials. The invention provides an ultrasonic detection method for damage of carbon fiber composite materials, which can perform quantitative analysis on defects and evaluate mechanical properties, and realize rapid and accurate quantitative detection of impact damage defects of carbon fiber composite materials. However, the system of this method is relatively complex, the operation and maintenance cost is high, it is easily interfered by environmental factors, and the requirements for the detection environment are high.

[0005] Patent CN202110470207.5 discloses a non-destructive detection method for defects in composite materials based on generative thermography. This detection method combines thermography technology with a generative adversarial network model to realize feature extraction of thermal image data and background weakening, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of infrared thermography detection of internal defects in polymers. However, this method also has some limitations, such as a long damage detection time, the result being a planar image, and low detection accuracy, etc.

[0006] The invention patent CN202010821919.2 discloses a test method for the study of the tensile-tensile fatigue damage evolution of carbon fiber / epoxy resin three-dimensional woven composites based on synchrotron radiation CT. This method conducts damage detection through synchrotron radiation CT and realizes the damage observation of three-dimensional woven composites. However, the operation process of this method is relatively cumbersome, requiring a long test time and high material costs, and it is difficult to implement for operators without relevant skills.
