In order to realize the detection of internal defects and the evaluation of compactness of concrete, ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology is widely used due to its strong penetration, high sensitivity, and strong non-destructive nature. In recent years, with the development of frequency domain analysis theory and viscoelastic model, researchers have gradually constructed ultrasonic propagation models suitable for heterogeneous materials, such as complex modulus modeling, wave equation solving and scattering correction methods, to simulate and explain the speed variation and attenuation behavior of sound wave propagation in concrete. It plays an important role in engineering quality monitoring and material performance evaluation.
[0003] However, the existing concrete ultrasonic modeling technology still faces many challenges in describing the real propagation characteristics. First, the mainstream model is mostly based on integer-order viscoelastic theory to construct the complex modulus expression, which is difficult to reflect the non-locality and time fractional derivative characteristics commonly existing in concrete paste, resulting in distortion of frequency correlation description and low prediction accuracy. Second, for the scattering loss problem caused by aggregate, the existing model mostly ignores the structural correlation and does not consider the modulation effect of scattering body spatial arrangement on wave propagation path, which cannot accurately quantify the cumulative attenuation of different scales of scattering.

[0037] After acquiring rheological behavior data, the dynamic modulus data is resampled in the frequency domain to construct a frequency-complex modulus response curve. The frequency-complex modulus response curve is plotted with angular frequency on the x-axis and complex modulus on the y-axis. Using the frequency-complex modulus response curve, the objective function in the fractional-order viscoelastic constitutive model is called for least-squares fitting. The fitting parameter values are iteratively adjusted until the error meets the accuracy requirements. After the fitting is completed, a set of fitting parameters is obtained, including the fractional order, instantaneous elastic modulus, equivalent viscous modulus, and relaxation time factor.

[0069] Further, the complex wave number is expressed as:
[0070] ;
[0071] According to the complex function of the imaginary part in the complex wave number, the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient under different frequencies is obtained.
[0072] Further, the imaginary part of the complex wave number is the attenuation coefficient of the ultrasonic wave under the frequency, which is used to represent the absorption and energy consumption of the concrete medium to the ultrasonic wave propagation.
[0073] S3: The concrete medium is divided into several thin layers according to the ultrasonic propagation direction, the thickness of each thin layer is defined, and the interlayer reflection control parameter is set according to the characteristic impedance of each thin layer.

[0096] Set the interlayer reflection coefficient. Specifically, set a weak reflection threshold. If the interface reflection coefficient is less than the weak reflection threshold, set the interlayer reflection coefficient parameter corresponding to the interface to allow transmission dominance and use linear superposition. If the interface reflection coefficient is greater than or equal to the weak reflection threshold, set the interlayer reflection coefficient corresponding to the interface to have reflection interference and cannot be directly superimposed linearly.
[0097] Furthermore, to ensure that ultrasound waves primarily pass through the thin layers via transmission rather than reflection during propagation, a weak reflection threshold is set, expressed as:
[0098]
[0099] The weak reflection threshold is used to control energy reflection caused by abrupt changes in interlayer impedance. When the value is less than the weak reflection threshold, the transmission coefficient is considered to be approximately 1, and multiple reflections between layers can be ignored.
[0100] S4: Calculate the corrected complex wave number using the Waterman-Truell model and adjust the correction term caused by the spatial correlation of scattering by adjusting the structure factor.

[0102] Based on the fact that the aggregate size in the concrete medium satisfies the sparse distribution condition of the scatterer, the scattering amplitude function of aggregate particles in each thin layer is obtained. The spatial distribution density of the aggregate and the scattering amplitude function are substituted into the Waterman-Truell model, and the complex wave number of each thin layer is corrected according to the integral expression in the Waterman-Truell model.
[0103] Furthermore, after dividing the concrete medium into thickness directions, for each thin layer with a fixed thickness, an equivalent scattering particle model is determined based on the physical size parameters, density differences, and sound velocity differences of the aggregate particles in the thin layer.
[0104] Under the condition of known incident wave direction and frequency, the scattering amplitude function of equivalent scattering particles in the direction of zero scattering angle is calculated based on the classical acoustic scattering theory and using the Ratleigh scattering approximation.
