Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of nondestructive testing, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive imaging method and system for composite material multi-damage detection. BACKGROUND

[0002] Composite materials are widely used in aerospace, transportation and other fields due to their light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and other advantages. However, composite materials are prone to internal damage such as delamination and cracks during manufacturing and use. These damages are highly concealed and difficult to detect, and if not discovered and repaired in time, they will affect the integrity and safety of the structure.

[0003] It is particularly urgent to develop nondestructive testing techniques that can effectively characterize and evaluate typical defects / damages for delamination damage in composite structures that are not easily detected. As a key means of nondestructive testing of composite materials, the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) can reveal internal defects and damages. In recent years, advanced sensors based on Doppler laser vibrometer (SLDV) have emerged in the field of ultrasonic testing. This technology acquires wave field data through extremely dense point grid scanning. Compared with the sparse measurement of traditional transducer arrays, dense wave field data contains more valuable damage information. However, the anisotropic properties of composite materials cause differences in wave field intensity and morphology on different propagation paths during wave propagation. Meanwhile, delamination damage in the material can be regarded as a secondary wave field emission source. Different shapes of delamination damage will produce damage wave fields with different morphologies and intensities. In the case of multiple damages in composite materials, the damage information carried in the wave field data becomes extremely complex in spatial scale, and is easily disturbed by strong incident waves and reflected waves. This leads to misjudgments of the number and severity of damages during damage monitoring, making it extremely difficult to identify composite material damages under multi-damage conditions.

[0004] To address this challenge, a wave field analysis method based on Doppler laser vibrometer is proposed, which aims to utilize the rich damage information carried by the wave field, filter out the interference of incident and reflected waves through wave number domain filtering method, separate out the damage information, and realize accurate damage quantification. However, the damage interaction wave is very weak relative to the incident and reflected waves, and it is difficult to identify. In the case of multiple damages in composite materials, the complexity of damage information will further increase, making the existing wave field analysis method unable to capture damage information at different spatial scales; such as CN109884187A discloses an ultrasonic guided wave field damage detection method based on compressed sensing, but the problem of evaluating and improving the coherence of the difference signal and the real wave field still needs to be solved. CN116429895A discloses a composite material damage imaging detection method and device based on local damage resonance, but the sensor array optimization, sound field suppression, comprehensive imaging algorithm improvement, quantitative evaluation and diagnosis of damage, etc. still need to be improved. In addition, the existing technology also has the following main problems: unable to comprehensively evaluate the damage characteristics of multi-modal guided waves in a wide frequency band range; difficult to reveal the damage information of different spatial scales in the wave field data, realize damage imaging under multiple damage conditions of composite materials; poor imaging quality when processing high noise data, unable to realize high-quality damage diagnosis using low signal-to-noise ratio data; lack of mechanism for adaptive evaluation of damage imaging value of wave field data at different times, difficult to accurately identify the position, number and direction of multiple damages in composite materials.

[0031] Referring to the drawings Figure 1The adaptive imaging method for composite material multi-damage detection provided by the application specifically comprises the following steps: S1, obtaining a guided wave full wave field original signal of a composite material to be measured, and filtering the original signal through frequency domain analysis to obtain a filtered original signal; Referring to the accompanying Figure 2 S11, obtaining a guided wave full wave field original signal of a composite material to be measured.

[0032] (1) Signal excitation and collection A PZT crystal is selected as a signal excitation device, and the excitation signal is a five-period sine signal with a frequency of 65 kHz modulated by a Hanning window; an integrated signal generator is used to output an excitation signal with sufficient intensity; and a signal trigger is responsible for sending a trigger signal to the signal generator and a signal collection card to ensure that the signal measurement and recording process can be kept synchronous.

[0033] (2) Wave field data measurement and storage Measurement grid: a square grid of 300*300 measurement points is preset on the surface of the sample to be measured, and the grid spacing is 1.67 mm.

[0034] Sampling frequency and time response: at each measurement point, a total of 1 ms of time response is recorded at a sampling frequency of 500 kHz, generating 500 time frames.

[0035] Data saving: the time domain wave field signal of each measurement point is sorted and saved in the form of a three-dimensional data set (one time dimension and two space dimensions). The discrete form is represented as , wherein and are the number of measurement points in the x and y directions, respectively; is the number of time frames.

[0036] In the application, sldv does not need to be repeatedly measured and averaged, and a single measurement is used to reduce the measurement time and obtain a raw wave field signal with a high noise level.

[0038] Specifically: frequency domain filtering: the original wave field signal is first filtered in the frequency domain to filter out noise components outside the main frequency range of the signal. After filtering, the original signal is converted into a usable signal, and damage information can be effectively extracted, meeting the needs of subsequent signal processing, such asFigure 3 As shown.

[0039] S2, based on the filtered original signal, introduce a compensation function to obtain the enhanced original signal; analyze the trend of wave field energy change over time, and select a time window containing damage information; S21. Based on the filtered original signal, define the wave field energy function, introduce a compensation function, and obtain the enhanced original signal; Perform global wavefield energy analysis on the original signal, for each time frame. r The wave field energy at a given location is defined as:

[0040] in, E[r] Known as the wave field energy function, it characterizes the trend of wave field energy changing over time. For the original wave field at the grid points ( i, j, r The wave field signal at point ) where and These are the number of measurement points in the x and y directions, respectively; It represents the number of time frames.

[0041] The normalized energy function is used for further analysis. The normalized energy function is as follows:

[0042] in, This represents the normalized wavefield energy function. Let be the wave field energy function. The peak value of the wave field energy function.

[0043] During wave field propagation within a material, energy dissipation due to material damping and / or energy radiation to the surrounding environment makes it difficult to detect damage at a distance from the actuator. To minimize this effect, we introduce a representation of... C[r] Compensation function:

[0044] in, The compensation function represents the wave field. This represents the normalized wavefield energy function. This represents the number of frames at the peak point of the wave field energy curve.

[0045] The compensation function of the CFRP plate under test is obtained from the above equation, and then the compensation wave field is obtained as follows:

[0046] in, This represents the compensated wave field. [ i, j, rrepresents the wavefield signal of the compensated wavefield signal at the grid point (x, y) ; i, j, r represents the original wavefield, represents the wavefield signal of the original wavefield at the grid point (x, y) ; [ i, j, r i, j, r represents the wavefield signal of the original wavefield at the grid point (x, y) ; is a compensation function.

[0047] S22, analyze the wavefield energy curve of the enhanced original signal, determine the starting point and the ending point of the wavefield energy curve, and obtain a time window containing damage information.

[0048] The wavefield energy curve is analyzed to determine the time window of damage imaging, and the peak point of the wavefield energy curve is selected as the starting point r a , and the guided wave is in an excited state before the starting point r a , at which time the damage information carried in the wavefield data is less. The ending point is selected at the time frame when the normalized energy drops to a given threshold (10% in this example) r b , and the wavefield energy tends to zero after the ending point r b , and the information in the wavefield data is dominated by noise components.

[0049] S3, based on the enhanced original signal and the time window containing damage information, construct a damage index based on the gradient direction of the wavefield, calculate the wavefield damage index matrix, adjust the calculation step size of the wavefield gradient method, and obtain damage index information of different spatial scales.

[0050] S3 specifically includes: S31, based on the enhanced original signal and the time window containing damage information, calculate the gradient direction of the wavefield at each point in space; S32, construct a damage index based on the gradient direction of the wavefield according to the gradient direction information; S33, apply the constructed damage index to the entire wavefield, calculate the damage index of each position, and obtain a wavefield damage index matrix; S34, adjust the calculation step size of the wavefield gradient method, recalculate the wavefield gradient direction and the damage index matrix, extract damage information at different spatial scales, and obtain damage information at different spatial scales.

[0051] ​The vibration signal of the wave field is relatively stable in normal propagation process, and the change rate of the vibration signal of the wave field in space at a moment has strong regularity. When the wave field propagates to the damage, the change rate of the vibration signal will be suddenly changed. The change rate of the wave field propagation can effectively reveal the damage. The gradient as an index for revealing the change rate of the physical field can well characterize the sudden change of the wave field caused by the damage in the wave field propagation process, and provide a more sensitive damage index for damage imaging.

[0052] (1) Wave field gradient The wave field gradient is defined as the change rate of the vibration signal of the wave field at a spatial point:

[0053] wherein, gradv represents the wave field gradient, gradv ( x, y, z ) represents the wave field gradient at the three-dimensional spatial point ( x, y, z ); represents the partial derivative of the compensated wave field in the x direction; represents the partial derivative of the compensated wave field in the y direction.

[0054] In the case of discrete wave field data, the first-order partial derivative in the formula can be approximated by the central difference method, and the discrete form of the wave field gradient is:

[0055] wherein, gradv represents the wave field gradient, gradv ( i, j, r ) represents the size of the wave field gradient at the grid point ( i, j, r ); represents the compensated wave field signal, [ i, j, r ] represents the wave field signal of the compensated wave field signal at the grid point ( i, j, r ); [ i+k, j, r ] represents the wave field signal of the compensated wave field signal at the grid point ( i+k, j, r ); [ i-k, j, r ] represents the wave field signal of the compensated wave field signal at the grid point ( i-k, j, r ); h x and h y are the grid spacings in the x and y directions, respectively; k represents the calculation step of the wave field gradient in the grid.

[0056] (2) Calculation step adjustment Composite materials have anisotropic properties, and the wave field intensity on different propagation paths during wave field propagation is different, and the form of wave field propagation is also different. At the same time, the delamination damage in the material can be regarded as a secondary wave field emission source, and the damage wave field generated by delamination damage of different shapes will also have differences in form and intensity. In the damage detection process, the damage location (representing different wave field propagation paths) and the damage shape are unknown, so for the damage detection of a multi-damage plate, the calculation step k needs to be adjusted to ensure that all damage information carried by the wave field is captured completely. As shown in the accompanying drawings, it can be seen that the damage indicators in the grid points are calculated differently under different calculation steps, and the adjustment of the calculation step k is a key step in composite material damage detection. The method of the present application can ensure that all damage information carried by the wave field is captured completely, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection. Figure 4

[0057] (3) Wave field gradient square as damage indicator Because the collected is a low signal-to-noise ratio wave field, there are a large number of noise points in the wave field gradient image, which will interfere with the distinguishability of the damage area in the final damage image. It is necessary to further suppress the noise component in the wave field and highlight the difference between the damage indicator anomaly caused by the damage and the noise anomaly, so the wave field gradient square is used as the final damage indicator: wherein, is the final damage indicator, [ i, j, r ] is used to quantify the damage degree at position (i, j) and time r ; gradv represents the wave field gradient, gradv [ i, j, r ] represents the size of the wave field gradient at the grid point ( i, j, r ); represents the compensated wave field signal, [ i, j, r ] represents the wave field signal of the compensated wave field signal at the grid point ( i, j, r ); [ i+k, j, r ] represents the wave field signal of the compensated wave field signal at the grid point ( i+k, j, r ); [ i- k, j, r ] represents the wave field signal of the compensated wave field signal at the grid point ( i-k, j, r ); [ i, j+k, r ​represents the compensated wavefield signal at the grid point ( i, j+k, r ) ; h x and h y are x and y the grid spacing in the x and y directions, respectively; k represents the step size in the grid for the computation of the wavefield gradient.

[0062] Define array The elements are composed of Composition, record To be Arranged from largest to smallest k There are several values, therefore the adaptive weighting coefficients are... w r Defined as:

[0063] in, Representative array The mean of all elements in the set. Representing a time window Inside w r The minimum value, k This represents the calculation step size of the wavefield gradient within the grid; the ability of the adaptive weighted root mean square imaging algorithm to evaluate the imaging value of wavefield damage depends on the weighting coefficients. w r The construction of the wavefield depends on the imaging value of a particular frame, which in turn depends on the impairment index of that frame, i.e., the difference in the wavefield impairment index.

[0065] See appendix Figure 6Compared with the signal distribution of damage position in the image of the control method ("Guided wavefield curvature imaging of invisible damage in composite structures", G.G. Sha, H. Xu, M. Radzienski, M.S. Cao, W. Ostachowicz, Z.Q. Su, Mech. Syst. Signal Proc., 150 (2021) 16.), the damage characteristics are not obvious, and it is difficult to accurately identify and locate the damage; compared with the imaging results of the control method, the signal of the damage position is more concentrated, the damage characteristics are more obvious, and the damage can be more clearly identified and located, so the method provided by the present application has higher damage identification accuracy and positioning precision, can more effectively highlight the damage characteristics, and improve the detection effect.
