Furthermore, due to their long inspection cycles, potential risks are difficult to detect promptly. These two detection methods have limitations in terms of their scope of application, monitoring accuracy, and adaptability to complex geometric components, making them difficult to meet the requirements for the long-term safe operation of nuclear power plant pressure-bearing components.

[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0017] See also Figures 1 to 8 It should be noted that the diagrams provided in this embodiment are merely schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present disclosure. Therefore, the diagrams only show components related to the present disclosure and are not drawn according to the number, shape, and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity, and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complex.

[0018] See Figures 1 to 5 In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a crack monitoring method, the crack monitoring method comprising the following steps: Step S1: Acquire acoustic wave signals collected by two acoustic emission sensors on a monitoring component.

[0019] like Figure 6 As shown, the present disclosure uses acoustic emission (AE) technology to collect information about crack initiation and growth on a monitoring component 100. Specifically, two AE sensors 200 are provided on the monitoring component 100, one at each end of the monitoring component 100's extension direction. When a crack initiates or grows on the monitoring component 100, energy is released and high-frequency elastic sound waves (typically in the 20 kHz to 2 MHz frequency band) are generated. The two AE sensors 200 capture the high-frequency elastic sound waves transmitted along the surface of the monitoring component 100 at their respective detection positions, thereby monitoring the crack growth status on the monitoring component 100 in real time.

[0020] It should be noted that the components monitored by acoustic emission sensors can be critical pressure-bearing components of a nuclear power plant, such as reactor pressure vessels, steam generators, main pump casings, and main pipelines. Installing acoustic emission sensors on these pressure-bearing components allows for real-time crack monitoring during normal operation of the nuclear power plant.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, step S1 includes the following steps: S11. Obtain the electrical signals collected by the two acoustic emission sensors. The electrical signals are voltage signals that vary with time. The electrical signals are expressed as V(t) .

[0022] S12. Convert the electrical signal into an acoustic wave signal. The acoustic wave signal is an acoustic wave amplitude signal that changes with time. The acoustic wave signal is expressed as v(t).

[0023] Since the acoustic emission sensor converts elastic waves into electrical signals through the piezoelectric effect, in step S12, the quantitative relationship between the electrical signal and the acoustic wave signal can be determined based on the material information of the monitored component and the sensor information of the acoustic emission sensor; and based on the quantitative relationship between the electrical signal and the acoustic wave signal, the electrical signal is converted into an acoustic wave signal. Among them, the material information includes the density of the material of the monitored component. ρ (kg / m³) and Young's modulus E (N / m 2 ); sensor information includes the piezoelectric constant of the piezoelectric material in the acoustic emission sensor d (C / N), effective area A (m 3 ) and the circuit equivalent capacitance C (F).

[0024] Among them, the quantitative relationship between electrical signals and acoustic signals can be expressed as V(t) = K ( d,ρ,E,A,C )· v(t) , parameter coefficients K ( d,ρ,E,A,C ) can be adapted according to the type of acoustic emission sensor. For example, in one example, the quantitative relationship between the electrical signal and the acoustic wave signal can be expressed as: Formula (1) In the formula, the coefficient k and sound wave frequency f Proportional to the frequency of the sound wave f It can be obtained by performing spectrum analysis on the electrical signal.

[0025] Next, step S2 is executed to determine the crack initiation position based on the material information of the monitoring component, the distance between the two acoustic emission sensors, and the time difference of receiving the acoustic wave signal.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, step S2 includes the following steps: S21. Determine the propagation speed of the sound wave in the monitored component based on the material information.

[0027] In step S21, the density of the material information of the monitoring component is ρ (kg / m³) and Young's modulus E (N / m 2 ), determine the propagation speed of the sound wave in the monitored component c(m / s), the propagation speed is expressed as .

[0028] S22. Determine the crack initiation position based on the propagation velocity, the distance between the two acoustic emission sensors, and the time difference between the two acoustic emission sensors receiving the acoustic wave signals.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, in step S22, first, based on the propagation speed of the sound wave in the monitoring component 100, the distance between the two acoustic emission sensors 200, and the time difference between the two acoustic emission sensors 200 receiving the sound wave signals, the distance between the crack and the nearest acoustic emission sensor 200 is determined; for example, in one example, the distance between the crack and the nearest acoustic emission sensor 200 can be determined according to the relationship of formula (2), which is as follows: Formula (2) Among them, l is the distance between the crack and the nearest acoustic emission sensor 200, l is the distance between the two acoustic emission sensors 200, △ t is the time difference between the two acoustic emission sensors 200 receiving the acoustic wave signals, c is the propagation speed of the sound wave in the monitoring component 100.

[0030] Then, based on the position of the nearest acoustic emission sensor 200 and the distance between the crack and the nearest acoustic emission sensor 200 , the crack initiation position on the monitoring component 100 is determined.

[0031] Next, step S3 is performed to obtain acoustic wave characteristic information of the crack at the crack initiation position based on the material information, the crack initiation position and the acoustic wave signal.

[0032] In step S3, the acoustic wave signal is subjected to spectrum analysis, and the source acoustic wave intensity of the acoustic wave signal at the crack initiation position is restored to obtain acoustic wave characteristic information that can represent the crack development status.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, step S3 includes the following steps: S31. Obtain the frequency of the sound wave signal.

[0034] In step S31, the acoustic signal is subjected to spectrum analysis to obtain the frequency of the acoustic signal. For example, the acoustic signal is first subjected to background noise filtering, and then the filtered acoustic signal is subjected to Fourier transform processing to obtain spectral characteristics such as the frequency and amplitude of the acoustic signal.

[0035] S32. Determine the source acoustic wave intensity of the acoustic wave signal at the crack initiation location based on the frequency of the acoustic wave signal, material information of the monitoring component, the acoustic wave signal collected by the acoustic emission sensor, and the relative distance between the acoustic emission sensor and the crack initiation location.

[0036] In step S32, the acoustic wave signal is first converted from the acoustic wave amplitude signal v(t) Converted into sound wave intensity signal I(t) Specifically, the acoustic wave amplitude signal can be converted into v(t) Converted into sound wave intensity signal I(t) , formula (3) is as follows: Formula (3) The acoustic wave intensity signal represents the acoustic wave intensity detected by the acoustic emission sensor at the measuring point. The acoustic wave intensity signal is shown in formula (3) and can be obtained from the acoustic wave amplitude signal v(t) It can also be converted from electrical signals V(t) Converted.

[0037] Then, based on the characteristic that the intensity of the acoustic wave signal decays exponentially with the propagation distance when it propagates in the medium, the acoustic wave signal (i.e., the acoustic wave intensity signal) collected at the acoustic emission sensor is inverted to the crack initiation position by utilizing the frequency of the acoustic wave signal, the acoustic wave propagation speed corresponding to the material information of the monitoring component, and the relative distance between the acoustic emission sensor and the crack initiation position to obtain the source acoustic wave intensity of the acoustic wave signal at the crack initiation position.

[0038] Specifically, the acoustic wave intensity signal collected at the acoustic emission sensor can be inverted and converted into the source acoustic wave intensity at the crack initiation location according to the relationship in formula (4), which is as follows: Formula (4) in, Indicates the sound wave signal (i.e., the transmission time t and transmission distance x Changing sound wave intensity signal), is the source sound wave intensity at the cracking location, f is the frequency of the sound wave, c is the speed of sound waves, It is the loss factor of the sound wave transmitted in the monitoring component.

[0039] S33. The frequency of the sound wave and the intensity of the source sound wave at the crack initiation location are used as sound wave characteristic information. The frequency of the sound wave can be used to classify the type of crack initiation or propagation; the intensity of the source sound wave represents the amount of energy released by the crack initiation or propagation, and can be used to assess the impact of the crack initiation or propagation behavior on the structural stability of the monitored component, thereby assessing the crack stability.

[0040] Next, step S4 is executed to obtain the development status of the crack based on the acoustic wave characteristic information.

[0041] In step S4, based on the acoustic wave characteristic information, the development status of the crack is matched and confirmed in the established voiceprint database, and the development status includes the failure mode and cracking degree of the crack on the monitored component. Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, step S4 includes the following steps: S41. Determine the crack failure mode corresponding to the frequency in the sound wave characteristic information from the voiceprint database. The crack failure mode includes fatigue crack, tear crack, and stress corrosion crack.

[0042] In step S41, the frequency in the acoustic wave characteristic information is compared with the frequency range of each crack failure mode in the voiceprint database to obtain a crack failure mode that matches the frequency.

[0043] S42: Determine the safe sound intensity limit corresponding to the failure mode from the voiceprint database, wherein the safe sound intensity limit represents the intensity of the sound wave generated by the maximum destructive force crack that the monitoring component can withstand under the failure mode.

[0044] S43. Determine the crack initiation degree according to the source sound wave intensity and the safety sound intensity limit, where the crack initiation degree is the ratio of the safety sound intensity limit to the sound wave intensity.

[0045] For example, in one example, as shown in Table 1, Table 1 shows the established voiceprint database information. In step S4, if the frequency of the acoustic wave characteristic information is between 60-100KHz, the crack failure mode of the monitored component is confirmed to be fatigue crack based on the voiceprint database; then, the safety sound intensity limit corresponding to the fatigue crack failure mode is determined to be 0.02W / mm from the voiceprint database. 2 ; Finally, the source sound wave intensity in the sound wave characteristic information is compared with the safe sound intensity limit to determine the degree of crack initiation.

[0046] Table 1: Voiceprint database information diagram

[0047] In some embodiments, the process of establishing the voiceprint database used in step S4 includes the following steps: obtaining crack acoustic emission data of the test sample under each failure mode, the crack acoustic emission data including the acoustic wave signal corresponding to the initiation or expansion of the crack on the test sample, and the test sample and the monitoring component have the same material and shape; then, based on the crack acoustic emission data, using finite element analysis to analyze the stability impact of each failure mode crack on the test sample and the corresponding acoustic wave signal, and determine the frequency range and safe sound intensity limit of the acoustic wave vibration of the monitoring component under the action of each failure mode crack; finally, based on the frequency range and safe sound intensity limit corresponding to each failure mode, establish a voiceprint database.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments, step S4 further includes determining the stability of the monitoring component based on the cracking degree. For example, if the cracking degree is greater than or equal to 2, the monitoring component is determined to be structurally stable and no maintenance is required. If the cracking degree is greater than 1 and less than 2, the monitoring component is determined to be at risk of structural stability and can be repaired during the next nuclear power plant maintenance. If the cracking degree is less than or equal to 1, the monitoring component is determined to be structurally unstable and maintenance intervention is required.

[0049] See Figure 6 In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides a crack monitoring device, comprising a controller and two acoustic emission sensors 200. The two acoustic emission sensors 200 are disposed on a monitoring component 100, with one of the two acoustic emission sensors 200 disposed at one end of the monitoring component 100 and the other disposed at the other end of the monitoring component 100. The two acoustic emission sensors 200 capture, at their respective detection positions, high-frequency elastic sound waves generated by crack initiation and propagation in the monitoring component 100.

[0050] The controller is in communication with the two acoustic emission sensors 200, and the controller obtains the acoustic wave signals collected by the two acoustic emission sensors 200 on the monitoring component 100; the controller determines the crack initiation position based on the material information of the monitoring component 100, the distance between the two acoustic emission sensors 200, and the time difference between the two acoustic emission sensors 200 receiving the acoustic wave signals, wherein the material information includes the density and Young's modulus of the material of the monitoring component 100; the controller obtains the acoustic wave characteristic information of the crack at the crack initiation position based on the material information, the crack initiation position, and the acoustic wave signal; and the controller obtains the development status of the crack based on the acoustic wave characteristic information.
