Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metamaterials, in particular to a method and device for regulating zero-order horizontal shear wave and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the existing metamaterial technology, for plate shell structures, zero-order horizontal shear wave (SH0 wave) is considered as one of the most potential ideal wave modes for realizing large-scale structure rapid detection and health monitoring due to its unique attribute of complete non-dispersion. In engineering applications, due to the complexity of the detection object, when the guided wave interacts with the defect, it will produce a reflected echo, and the non-defect scatterers in the structure member will also cause complex scattering and mode conversion effects, which will significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection signal. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the propagation of guided waves to concentrate the energy of guided waves and suppress the complex scattering caused by scatterers. Regulating wave propagation can be understood as changing the transmission path or mode of wave energy, so as to realize an unusual wave phenomenon. Metamaterials, as a kind of artificial periodic structure, have the characteristics of flexible unit design, breaking through the response limit of traditional materials and rich wave regulation, and are therefore regarded as an effective means for regulating wave propagation. The metamaterials currently used to regulate zero-order horizontal shear wave will damage the member itself by punching and slotting, etc. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately and non-destructively control the zero-order horizontal shear wave.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method and device for regulating zero-order horizontal shear wave and application thereof to solve the problem of being unable to accurately and non-destructively control the zero-order horizontal shear wave. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to provide a method and device for regulating zero-order horizontal shear wave and application thereof to improve the above problems. In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solutions adopted by the present application are as follows:

[0018] Based on a super-element geometric parameter scheme and the shape of a structure plate to be detected, super-elements in different arrangement modes are set and intervals are reserved to form a waveguide, and a waveguide structure is obtained.

[0019] According to the waveguide structure, the zero-order horizontal shear wave is arranged to propagate along a preset detection target, and a propagation direction is determined.

[0020] An excitation transducer is installed at the starting end of the waveguide, and a receiving transducer is installed at the end.

[0021] Based on the propagation direction, the zero-order horizontal shear wave is emitted by the excitation transducer for non-destructive testing, and when the zero-order horizontal shear wave encounters a detection defect, a reflected wave or a transmitted wave is attenuated, and the receiving transducer collects the reflected wave or the transmitted wave signal to obtain a defect detection result.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0023] The present application divides the super-structure unit and the plate structure by the anti-resonance principle, and forms a spring mass system through the equivalent mass construction, and realizes the effective isolation of the zero-order horizontal shear wave based on the system using the anti-resonance principle, and on this basis, the anti-resonance geometric configuration is solved by combining Newton's law of motion and the anti-resonance mechanism, so as to accurately determine the geometric parameters of the super-structure unit and improve the design accuracy of the metamaterial.

[0089] S4: Based on the shear deformation characteristics of the zero-order horizontal shear wave, the anti-resonance geometric configuration is derived by combining the cylindrical approximation method and the preset anti-resonance boundary conditions, and the superstructure basic geometric parameter scheme is obtained.

[0090] In this step, the metamaterial's geometric parameter scheme is used to enable the metamaterial to exhibit excellent mechanical properties at a specific frequency.

[0091] To clarify the specific method for obtaining the geometric parameter scheme of the superstructure, step S4 includes S41 to S45, specifically:

[0092] S41: Based on the shear deformation characteristics of the zero-order horizontal shear wave, a square is selected as the cross section of the superstructure, and the shape of the superstructure is determined.

[0093] S42: Based on the wavelength of the zero-order horizontal shear wave in the structural plate, the cross-sectional side length of the superstructure shape is set, and the superstructure size is obtained by combining the cylindrical approximation method and the preset anti-resonance boundary conditions.

[0094] To clarify the specific method for obtaining the size of the meta-element, step S42 includes S421 to S424, specifically:

[0095] S421: Set the cross-sectional side length of the superstructure shape according to the wavelength of the zero-order horizontal shear wave in the plate to obtain the cross-sectional width of the superstructure.

[0096] In this step, the resonant response of the superstructure is enhanced based on the wavelength of the zero-order horizontal shear wave in the plate. The cross-sectional side length of the superstructure is set to half the wavelength of the zero-order horizontal shear wave in the plate, thus obtaining the cross-sectional width of the superstructure.

[0097] S422: Under the excitation of the zero-order horizontal shear wave, the superstructure undergoes torsional deformation, forming a shear warping effect;

[0098] S423: Based on the cylindrical approximation method and anti-resonance boundary conditions, the superstructure under the shear warping effect is simplified and analyzed. The height of the superstructure is obtained by combining the cylindrical torsion equation.

[0099] like Figure 2 As shown, a simplified analysis of the superstructure under the shear warping effect is performed, and the square column is approximated as a cylinder. The height of the superstructure is determined by analyzing the torsional anti-resonance of the cylinder.

[0100] When the unit cell exhibits anti-resonance, the unit Remaining stationary indicates that the angular displacement of the superstructure matrix region is zero. Furthermore, the cylinder is subjected to torque. The function of this. The standard equation for cylindrical torsion is:

[0101] (9);

[0102] In the above formula (9), For partial derivatives, The angle of twist of the cylinder. This represents the position of the cylinder along its length. For time variables, The speed at which a wave propagates in a medium. The mass per unit volume of the material. The ability of a material to resist shear deformation;

[0103] At the excitation end of the cylinder, specific boundary conditions must be met:

[0104] (10);

[0105] In the above formula (10), The ability of a material to resist shear deformation, For angle Regarding spatial coordinates The partial derivatives, Let be the angle of torsion of the cylinder. Let be the position coordinates of the cylinder along its length. This represents the position of the cylinder along its length. It is the polar moment of inertia. Angular frequency, The speed at which a wave propagates in a medium. It is a constant. For the amplitude of the excitation force, It is a time variable;

[0106] Substituting equation (9) into equation (10) yields:

[0107] (11);

[0108] In the above formula (11), It is a constant. For the amplitude of the excitation force, The speed at which a wave propagates in a medium. Angular frequency, For time variables, The ability of a material to resist shear deformation, It is the polar moment of inertia. The height of the cylinder;

[0109] On the other hand, the anti-resonance condition for a cylinder is that the angular displacement at the excitation end is zero, that is:

[0110] (12);

[0111] In the above formula (12), Let be the angle of torsion of the cylinder. It is a constant. Angular frequency, It is a time variable;

[0112] To meet the above conditions, It must be zero, therefore:

[0113] (13);

[0114] In the above formula (13), Angular frequency, Let be the height of the cylinder. The speed at which a wave propagates in a medium. It is infinite;

[0115] therefore:

[0116] (14);

[0117] In the above formula (14), Angular frequency, Let be the height of the cylinder. Pi It is an integer. The speed at which a wave propagates in a medium;

[0118] Right now:

[0119] (15);

[0120] In the above formula (15), Let be the height of the cylinder. It is an integer. Pi The speed at which a wave propagates in a medium. Angular frequency, λ is the wavelength.

[0121] when The minimum height of the anti-resonance cylinder can be obtained:

[0122] (16);

[0123] In the above formula (16), The height of the cylinder Wavelength;

[0124] Finally, the height of the superstructure was determined to be l / 4.

[0125] S424: The super-module dimensions are obtained by constructing based on the width and height of the super-module cross-section.

[0126] Preferably, the cross-sectional width of the meta-element is / 2, the height of the superstructure cross-section is / 4.

[0127] S43: Perform structural model analysis on a single meta-element based on finite element simulation, and determine the spacing parameters of the meta-element through the finite element simulation results;

[0128] To clarify the specific method for obtaining the meta-element spacing parameter, step S43 includes S431 to S433, specifically:

[0129] S431: Based on finite element simulation, a one-dimensional periodic arrangement of multiple superstructure elements is performed to obtain a superstructure. By setting excitation sources and receiving points for the superstructure, the finite element simulation results are obtained.

[0130] S432: Analyze the relationship between the spacing of the meta-element and the wave transmittance based on the finite element simulation results, and obtain the quantitative relationship curve between the spacing and the wave transmittance.

[0131] S433: Based on the quantitative relationship curve between the spacing and wave transmittance, determine the spacing between each meta-unit in the metastructure to obtain the meta-unit spacing parameter.

[0132] like Figure 3 As shown, when the height reaches 15.5 mm, the wave transmittance approaches zero, and this is applicable to intervals in the range of 0-30 mm. At this time, the wavelength of the zero-order horizontal shear wave in the plate structure is 62 mm, and the spacing parameter of the meta-element is less than or equal to half the wavelength, which is used to achieve wave isolation of the zero-order horizontal shear wave.

[0133] S44: Evaluate the wave isolation and waveguide performance of the superstructure at the specified dimensions based on the finite element simulation results, and determine the operating bandwidth of the superstructure.

[0134] like Figure 4 As shown, in this step, finite element simulation software was used to simulate the transmission of zero-order horizontal shear waves at different frequencies. The results show that within a 20kHz range around a center frequency of 50kHz, the wave transmittance is less than 0.1, indicating that the meta-element has good wave isolation performance in this frequency range. Simultaneously, the waveguide performance was evaluated, and its operating bandwidth was determined to be 20kHz. Within this bandwidth, the wave transmittance is less than 0.1, demonstrating effective wave isolation.

[0135] S45: Based on the shape of the super-module, the size of the super-module, the spacing parameter of the super-module, and the working bandwidth of the super-module, a scheme is constructed to obtain the geometric parameter scheme of the super-module.

[0136] S5: Based on the optimal size of the superstructure in the aforementioned superstructure geometric parameter scheme, the propagation of the zero-order horizontal shear wave is controlled by superstructures arranged in different ways.

[0137] In this step, meta-elemental units are arranged in a row along a one-dimensional direction as a wave-isolating device to effectively isolate the incident zero-order horizontal shear wave. Furthermore, arranging the meta-elemental units into two rows with arbitrary paths can serve as waveguides, guiding the zero-order horizontal shear wave to propagate along a predetermined path. Based on different arrangements of the meta-elemental units within the geometric parameter scheme, the propagation of the zero-order horizontal shear wave is controlled, enabling flexible control of the wave propagation characteristics. Simulation results show that the meta-elemental units can effectively isolate and guide the propagation of the zero-order horizontal shear wave, demonstrating their excellent wave manipulation capabilities.

[0143] The derivation module is used to derive the anti-resonance geometric configuration based on the shear deformation characteristics of the zero-order horizontal shear wave, combined with the cylindrical approximation method and preset anti-resonance boundary conditions, to obtain the superstructure basic geometric parameter scheme.

[0144] To clarify the specific methods for obtaining the derivation module, the following are included:

[0146] The size unit is used to set the cross-sectional side length of the meta-element shape based on the wavelength of the zero-order horizontal shear wave in the structural plate, and to construct it by combining the cylindrical approximation method and the preset anti-resonance boundary conditions to obtain the size of the meta-element.

[0151] Sub-units are constructed based on the cross-sectional width and cross-sectional height of the super-unit to obtain the super-unit dimensions.

[0152] Spacing elements are used to perform structural model analysis on a single meta-element based on finite element simulation, and to determine the spacing parameters of the meta-element through the finite element simulation results.

By setting excitation source and receiving point on the superstructure, the finite element simulation results are obtained.

[0155] The second analysis subunit is used to analyze the relationship between the spacing of the meta-element and the wave transmittance based on the finite element simulation results, and to obtain a quantitative relationship curve between the spacing and the wave transmittance.

[0156] The spacing subunit is used to determine the spacing between each meta-element in the metastructure based on the quantitative relationship curve between the spacing and wave transmittance, thereby obtaining the meta-element spacing parameter.

[0157] A bandwidth element is used to evaluate the wave isolation and waveguide performance of the superstructure element size based on the finite element simulation results, and to determine the working bandwidth of the superstructure element.

[0158] The construction unit is used to construct a scheme based on the shape of the super-primitive, the size of the super-primitive, the spacing parameter of the super-primitive, and the working bandwidth of the super-primitive, so as to obtain the geometric parameter scheme of the super-primitive.

[0159] The control module is used to control the propagation of the zero-order horizontal shear wave by using superstructures with different arrangements, based on the optimal size of the superstructure in the geometric parameter scheme.

[0160] It should be noted that the specific manner in which each module performs its operation in the apparatus described in the above embodiments has been described in detail in the embodiments of the method, and will not be elaborated here.

[0161] Example 3:

[0162] This embodiment provides a method for applying zero-order horizontal shear waves, the method including:

[0163] Based on the geometric parameter scheme of the meta-element and the shape of the structure plate to be tested, meta-elements with different arrangements are set up and reserved intervals are reserved to form a waveguide, thus obtaining a waveguide structure;

[0164] The waveguide structure is arranged along a preset detection target to guide the zero-order horizontal shear wave to propagate along a preset path and determine the propagation direction.

[0165] An excitation transducer is installed at the beginning of the waveguide, and a receiving transducer is installed at the end.

[0166] Based on the propagation direction, the zero-order horizontal shear wave is emitted by the excitation transducer for non-destructive testing. When the zero-order horizontal shear wave encounters the defect being tested, it generates a reflected wave or a transmitted wave attenuation. The receiving transducer collects the reflected wave or transmitted wave signal to obtain the defect detection result.

[0167] In this step, the non-destructive testing includes oblique crack detection and bridge deck detection. When detecting oblique cracks, the meta-element is arranged into a linear waveguide along the direction perpendicular to the crack to guide a zero-order horizontal shear wave to be incident perpendicularly on the crack. When detecting bridge decks, the meta-element is arranged into a multi-path waveguide to cover the bridge deck detection area.

[0168] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the non-destructive testing includes oblique crack detection and bridge deck inspection, as detailed below:

[0169] Oblique crack detection: When performing oblique crack detection, the meta-element is arranged into a linear waveguide along the direction perpendicular to the crack to guide the zero-order horizontal shear wave to be incident perpendicularly on the crack.

[0170] The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0171] Finite Element Simulation: First, finite element simulation was used to calculate the auxiliary capability of the meta-element. The meta-element was arranged in two rows with a gap between them to form a waveguide, which guides the propagation of the zero-order horizontal shear wave and enhances the amplitude of the reflected echo after the wave interacts with the crack. In the calculation, both the meta-element blocks and the substrate were made of aluminum, with a Young's modulus of 70 GPa, a density of 2700 kg / m³, and a Poisson's ratio of 0.33. Without the meta-element, only the 90° crack reflected echo had a relatively large amplitude; the amplitudes of the reflected echo from cracks at other angles were close to zero. Conversely, after introducing the meta-element, the amplitudes of the reflected echo from cracks at all angles increased significantly, reaching a level that was clearly identifiable.

[0172] Experimental Verification: Further experimental verification was conducted to validate the effectiveness of the meta-element-assisted detection. For example... Figure 6 As shown, in the experimental setup, both the meta-element and the substrate are made of aluminum. A piezoelectric element is used to excite and receive a zero-order horizontal shear wave. The experiment uses a 45° crack as an example. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the experimentally measured signal contains four wave packets: the first is the zero-order horizontal shear wave directly incident from the excitation end; the second is the boundary reflection echo; the third is the wave received after the boundary reflection echo is reflected again at the crack; and the wave in the gray shaded area represents the crack reflection echo. Among these, Figure 7 In the diagram, (b)-(d) represent crack reflection echoes measured at different frequencies without the meta-element. It can be seen that no crack reflection echoes are observed in these cases. Conversely, when the meta-element is introduced, significant crack reflection echoes can be observed, such as... Figure 8 As shown in (e)-(g) in the figure. This experiment verifies that meta-element can effectively assist in the detection of oblique cracks and has a bandwidth of 20 kHz.

[0173] Bridge deck inspection: When performing bridge deck inspection, the meta-element is arranged into a multi-path waveguide to cover the bridge deck inspection area.

[0174] The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0175] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the Figure 10 To set up the experiment, introduce cracks into the plate structure. For example... Figure 11As shown, the experimentally measured signal contains three distinct wave packets: the first wave packet is a zero-order horizontal shear wave directly incident from the excitation end; the second wave packet is a boundary reflection echo; and the third wave packet is a crack reflection echo. It can be seen that although the amplitude of the crack reflection echo wave packet is weakened compared to the incident wave, it is still clearly identifiable. However, without the assistance of the meta-element, the zero-order horizontal shear wave cannot detect cracks outside its propagation range. Therefore, the above results confirm the effective role of this meta-element in assisting in expanding the detection range of the zero-order horizontal shear wave.

[0176] Space constraints make it difficult to arrange transducers and sensors, thus hindering the detection of localized areas. This paper addresses this by introducing meta-elemental structures to construct curved path waveguides, allowing zero-order horizontal shear waves to propagate along arbitrary curved paths instead of straight lines. This expands the propagation range of zero-order horizontal shear waves and provides a new method for detecting confined areas.
