Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ultrasonic guided wave nondestructive testing technology, and relates to a method for predicting the received signal of an ultrasonic transducer, specifically a method for predicting the received signal of an SHO guided wave periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer. Background Technology
[0002] Metallic materials and structures, as important components of modern engineering, inevitably suffer various forms of damage during manufacturing and service. Ultrasonic non-destructive testing and evaluation techniques, due to their non-destructive nature, have become an effective means of assessing the condition of materials and structures. Among them, ultrasonic guided wave technology, with its advantages of long propagation distance and large detection range, has been widely used in the non-destructive testing of thin-walled plates and pipe structures.
[0003] In sheet metal inspection, the vibration displacement of SH guided waves exists only in the direction parallel to the sheet surface, exhibiting simpler vibration characteristics compared to Lamb waves. Low-order modes (SH0 guided waves) possess non-dispersion characteristics, thus the waveform remains undistorted during propagation, preserving the original signal characteristics. This facilitates accurate identification and analysis of defect echoes, improving inspection reliability. Furthermore, the energy of SH0 guided waves is uniformly distributed along the sheet thickness, giving them excellent detection sensitivity for defects at any depth in the sheet metal.
[0004] The SHO guided wave periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer utilizes an electromagnetic coupling mechanism, allowing for direct excitation and reception of SHO guided waves within a metal plate without contact with the test object. Figure 1 As shown. Commonly used detection configurations are as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the excitation signal drives the SHO guided wave periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer to generate SHO guided waves in the tested material. These SHO guided waves propagate within the material and are collected by the receiving SHO guided wave periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer, yielding the received signal. In practical testing applications, to meet different testing requirements, the periodic permanent magnet array configuration of both the excitation and receiving transducers typically needs to be specifically designed and optimized. Traditional verification methods include experimental testing and numerical simulation. These methods are used to obtain the received signal from the SHO guided wave periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer to evaluate its performance. If the expected results are not achieved, the transducer parameters need to be repeatedly optimized and re-verified until the testing requirements are met.
[0005] However, traditional experimental and numerical simulation verification processes are time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, developing a new method that can quickly and accurately predict the received signal of an SHO guided wave periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer has become a key technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
