[0002] The determination of the mechanical properties and stress state of materials across the entire cross-section and depth of pipelines is one of the current research focuses in assessing pipeline safety. Here, "full cross-section" can refer to the planar range covering the entire annular cross-section in the cross-sectional direction of the pipeline; "full depth" can refer to the entire depth from the inner wall surface to the outer wall surface in the wall thickness direction.

[0003] Pipeline safety inspection in related technologies includes three categories: pipeline microcrack and microdefect detection, pipeline material degradation assessment, and pipeline stress safety assessment. However, these pipeline safety inspection methods are numerous and complex, requiring significant coordination of manpower and resources for integrated testing of multiple technologies. Moreover, individual testing of each technology cannot simultaneously measure the mechanical properties and stress state of the tested material across its entire cross-section and depth, failing to meet future needs for pipeline safety assessment. Furthermore, due to the lack of standardized testing standards, results are difficult to use directly, and comprehensive analysis requires standardization. Summary of the Invention

[0057] Pipeline safety inspection in related technologies includes three methods: pipeline microcrack and microdefect detection, pipeline material deterioration assessment, and pipeline stress safety assessment.

[0058] Pipeline microcrack and microdefect detection includes ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, radiographic testing, eddy current testing, etc., and is mainly used to inspect weld surface cracks as well as defects such as scratches, pits, protrusions, spots, and corrosion.

[0059] Pipeline material deterioration assessment includes uniaxial tensile testing, small punch testing, impact testing, and fatigue testing. These methods are mainly used to determine the material's mechanical properties, such as elastic modulus, yield strength, and tensile strength. However, these testing methods are all destructive and are not suitable for the safety assessment of in-service pipelines. Instrumented indentation technology does not require destructive sampling of the pipeline and can directly test in-service pipelines. However, this technology can only test the outer surface of the pipeline and is difficult to determine the mechanical properties of the pipe material in the depth direction of the pipe wall.

[0060] Pipeline stress safety assessment methods are divided into destructive testing (DPT) and non-destructive testing (NDT). DPT techniques, represented by the blind hole method, have mature theories and applications. However, due to the damage they cause to the pipeline, they are not suitable for stress safety assessment of in-service pipelines. Currently, this technology is mostly used for verification and comparison of other stress assessment techniques. NDT techniques, represented by ultrasonic testing, coercive testing, indentation testing, and radiographic testing, are mainly used for stress safety assessment of in-service pipelines due to their low-damage or even non-damage characteristics. By establishing a quantitative relationship between the physical parameters measured by various stress testing techniques (ultrasonic time, magnetic induction intensity, indentation load-displacement curve, X-ray, etc.) and the stress state, the pipeline stress state can be predicted based on the changes in physical quantities. To obtain the absolute value of the changes in physical quantities, zero-stress calibration is required on pipe materials identical to those of the pipeline being tested. However, due to differences in pipeline production batches and processes, as well as material deterioration that occurs during long-term operation of in-service pipelines, it is difficult to find calibration specimens of the same material, which can lead to measurement errors and make it difficult to guarantee measurement accuracy.

[0061] The aforementioned pipeline safety inspection methods are numerous and require coordination of significant manpower and resources for comprehensive testing of multiple technologies. Moreover, individual testing of each technology cannot simultaneously measure the mechanical properties and stress state of the tested material across the entire cross-section and depth, thus failing to meet the future needs of pipeline safety assessment. Furthermore, due to the lack of standardized testing standards, the results from different methods are difficult to use directly, and comprehensive analysis requires standardization.

[0062] By analyzing the aforementioned stress detection methods, instrumented indentation technology can determine both the mechanical properties and stress state of the tested material. Therefore, this disclosure integrates ultrasonic testing, coercive force testing, and instrumented indentation technology, with instrumented indentation technology as the primary method, to develop a testing equipment and method. This testing equipment is a multifunctional intelligent device that can test the mechanical properties of materials and measure stress based on indentation technology. This equipment and method overcome the limitation of instrumented indentation technology in related technologies, which can only test the surface mechanical properties and stress state of pipe walls. By introducing ultrasonic testing technology, it can determine the acoustic time characteristic parameters in the pipe wall thickness and depth direction. By introducing coercive force testing technology, it can determine the magnetic field characteristic parameters within a certain area, and simultaneously determine the presence or absence of defects within the test area.

[0063] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the testing equipment 100 includes a base 1 and a testing device 2, which is connected to the base 1, for example, by bolts. The base 1 provides support and fixation, while the testing device 2 performs indentation testing, ultrasonic testing, coercivity testing, temperature testing, and data acquisition. The base 1 is configured to be fixed to the material being tested.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to FIG1 and as shown in FIG4, the base 1 includes a base plate 11, a ball joint 12, and a switching magnet 13. The detection device 2 is disposed on the base plate 11, which is horizontally positioned. The ball joint 12 is located below the base plate 11; for example, the ball joint 12 is connected to the base plate 11 by screws. The switching magnet 13 is connected below the ball joint 12; for example, the switching magnet 13 is connected to the ball joint 12 by bolts. The switching magnet 13 is configured to adhere to the surface of the material being tested (e.g., metal). A first end of the ball joint 12 is connected to the base plate 11, and a second end of the ball joint 12 is connected to the switching magnet 13. The ball joint 12 is configured to change the adsorption direction of the switching magnet 13.

[0065] For example, the base plate 11 can be made of 45# steel, which has suitable strength and is not prone to rust; the ball joint 12 can withstand strong torque and high tensile force, and can adjust the rotation direction to change the attraction angle of the switch magnet 13, so that the switch magnet can be attracted not only to flat materials but also to curved materials, thereby testing flat and curved test pieces. The torque of the ball joint 12 can be 8 N·m; with suitable torque and tensile force, the switch magnet has strong attraction, for example, 160 kg, to ensure that the device is firmly attracted to the surface of the material being tested. The base plate 11 is provided with a sliding groove, which allows the testing device 2 to move a certain distance along the groove, for example, about 100 mm.

[0066] In some embodiments, the number of ball joints 12 and switch magnets 13 are four, and the four ball joints 12 and four switch magnets 13 are spaced apart on the base plate 11. For example, the four ball joints 12 and four switch magnets 13 are all located at the four corners of the base plate 11.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 4, the base plate 11 is provided with at least one first groove 14, and the detection device 2 is configured to move along at least one first groove 14 to facilitate testing a certain area of ​​the material to be tested.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1, 5 to 7, the detection device 2 includes: a motor assembly (e.g., a planetary geared stepper motor assembly) 21, a bracket 22, an indentation assembly 23, an ultrasonic detection assembly 24, a coercivity detection assembly 25, a microscopic observation assembly 26, and a temperature detection assembly 27.

[0069] As shown in Figure 5, the planetary stepper motor assembly 21 is fixed to the end of the bracket 22 away from the base 1 (e.g., above). The planetary stepper motor assembly 21 includes a motor (e.g., a planetary stepper motor) 211, a coupling 212, and a lead screw 213. The coupling 212 is located between the motor 211 and the lead screw 213. The drive end of the planetary stepper motor 211 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 213 through the coupling 212 to ensure that the lead screw 213 and the planetary stepper motor 211 rotate coaxially. The planetary stepper motor 211 provides power for the movement of the first guide plate 224. For example, the planetary stepper motor 211 is a 42-type motor with a reduction ratio of 1:100 and a torque of 10 N·m. The coupling 212 is a rigid coupling, and the lead screw 213 is a trapezoidal threaded lead screw.

[0070] Referring to Figure 1 and as shown in Figure 5, the bracket 22 includes a first fixing plate 221, a second fixing plate 222, a third fixing plate 223, a first guide plate 224, a second guide plate 225, and multiple guide rods 226. The first fixing plate 221, the second fixing plate 222, and the third fixing plate 223 are spaced apart and, along the height direction Z of the testing equipment 100, are sequentially moved away from the planetary geared stepper motor 211. The first guide plate 224 and the second guide plate 225 are spaced apart and, along the height direction Z of the testing equipment 100, are sequentially moved away from the planetary geared stepper motor 211. The first fixing plate 221 and the second fixing plate 222 are located on one side of the base 1 along the height direction Z of the testing equipment 100, and the third fixing plate 223 is located on the other side of the base 1 along the height direction Z of the testing equipment 100. The first guide plate 224 is located between the first fixing plate 221 and the second fixing plate 222, and the second guide plate 225 is located between the second fixing plate 222 and the third fixing plate 223.

[0071] Multiple guide light rods 226 are spaced apart and can be divided into a first group of guide light rods 2261 and a second group of guide light rods 2262. For example, as shown in Figure 5, the multiple guide light rods 226 include eight guide light rods 226, the first group of guide light rods 2261 includes four guide light rods 226, and the second group of guide light rods 2262 includes another four guide light rods 226. Along the height direction Z of the test equipment 100, the second group of guide light rods 2262 is further away from the motor assembly 21 than the first group of guide light rods 2261.

[0072] The first fixing plate 221, the second fixing plate 222, and the third fixing plate 223 are fixedly connected by a plurality of guide light rods 226. For example, the first fixing plate 221 and the second fixing plate 222 are fixedly connected by a first set of guide light rods 2261, and the second fixing plate 222 and the third fixing plate 223 are fixedly connected by a second set of guide light rods 2262. The first guide plate 224 and the second guide plate 225 are placed on the plurality of guide light rods 226. For example, the first guide plate 224 is movably disposed on the first set of guide light rods 2261, and the second guide plate 225 is movably disposed on the second set of guide light rods 2262.

[0073] In some embodiments, the upper part of the bracket is used to fix the motor assembly 21, and the lower part of the bracket is used to fix the detection components (indentation component 23, ultrasonic detection component 24, coercivity detection component 25, microscopic observation component 26, and temperature detection component 27). The first set of guide rods 2261 is used to prevent the first guide plate 224 from rotating, ensuring that the first guide plate 224 can only move along the height direction Z (vertical) of the test equipment 100; the second set of guide rods 2262 is used to ensure that the second guide plate 225 moves along the height direction Z of the test equipment 100, and at the same time provides guidance for the detection components, playing a role in straightening.

[0074] The planetary geared stepper motor assembly 21 is fixed to the first fixed plate 221 by bolts, the indentation assembly 23 is fixed to the first guide plate 224, the second fixed plate 222 is fixed to the base plate 11 by bolts, and the second guide plate 225 is fixedly connected to the ultrasonic detection assembly 24, the coercivity detection assembly 25, and the temperature detection assembly 27.

[0075] As shown in Figure 6, the indentation assembly 23 includes a load sensor 231, a displacement sensor 232, a spherical indenter 233, a hollow cylinder 234, and an indentation fixing block 235. The indentation assembly 23 is configured to acquire and record the indentation load-displacement curve during the indentation process. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the end of the load sensor 231 near the motor assembly 21 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the first guide plate 224. The indentation fixing block 235 is located on the side of the load sensor 231 away from the motor assembly 21, and a second groove is provided on the side of the indentation fixing block 235 away from the load sensor 231. A portion of the spherical indenter 233 is disposed in the second groove (guide groove), and the spherical indenter 233 is configured to move along the second groove. The hollow cylinder 234 is connected to the end of the load sensor 231 away from the motor assembly 21, and the hollow cylinder 234 passes through the second guide plate 225 and is connected to the indentation fixing block 235. The second guide plate 225 provides a straightening and guiding function for the hollow cylinder 234.

[0076] As shown in Figure 6, a hollow cylinder 234 is connected below the load sensor 231. A pressing and fixing block 235 is connected below the hollow cylinder 234. A spherical indenter 233 is connected below the pressing and fixing block 235. A displacement sensor 232 is located on one side of the pressing and fixing block 235, and the displacement sensor 232 is located on one side of the hollow cylinder 234. The head of the displacement sensor 232 is in contact with the third fixing plate 223. For example, the load sensor 231 has a range of 0~200kg and an accuracy of 0.05%, the displacement sensor 232 has a range of 0~5mm and an accuracy of 0.1μm, and the spherical indenter 233 is hemispherical with a diameter of 1.5875mm.

[0077] Referring to Figures 5 and 7, the ultrasonic testing assembly 24 includes an ultrasonic probe 241, a first spring rod (spring rod) 242, and an oscilloscope and excitation component 243. The ultrasonic probe 241 is fixedly connected to the first spring rod 242, which is fixed to the second guide plate 225. The oscilloscope and excitation component 243 are connected to a computer. The frequency of the ultrasonic probe 241 is 5MHz. The ultrasonic probe 241 includes a transmitting transducer and a receiving transducer. The transmitting transducer receives electrical signals from the excitation component, converts them into mechanical vibrations, and transmits them to the material under test. The receiving transducer captures ultrasonic waves reflected / transmitted back from the object under test, converts them into weak electrical signals, and then transmits them to the oscilloscope for display and analysis.

[0078] The ultrasonic testing component 24 is configured to collect and analyze ultrasonic waves propagating during a preset process, and calculate the thickness of the material under test; the preset process is the process in which the ultrasonic waves are emitted and propagated from the material under test to the receiver.

[0079] To ensure a tight fit between the ultrasonic testing assembly 24 and the material being tested, a spring rod 242 is installed at the tail end of the ultrasonic probe 241. The spring rod 242 is retractable to ensure that the ultrasonic probe 241 is tightly pressed against the surface of the material being tested. In addition, the ultrasonic probe 241 is equipped with a liquid silicone sleeve to fill the air gap between the ultrasonic probe 241 and the material being tested, thereby increasing the accuracy of the test. Furthermore, in some embodiments, silicone oil can be applied to the surface of the liquid silicone to improve the test accuracy.

[0080] In some embodiments, silicone oil may be applied to the surface of the material to be tested during ultrasonic testing to fill the air gap between the ultrasonic probe 241 and the material to be tested, thereby increasing the accuracy of the test.

[0081] As shown in Figure 7, the coercivity testing component 25 includes a four-legged probe 251, a metal wire (e.g., high-purity copper wire) 252, and an excitation component 253. The four-legged probes 251 are symmetrically arranged, and each of the four-legged probes 251 is wound with the same number of turns, the same thickness, and the same material of high-purity copper wire 252. The two probes located diagonally are respectively wound with a magnetization coil and a demagnetization coil, which are used to record and collect the hysteresis loops during the magnetization and demagnetization process of the tested material, extract and analyze the coercivity data, and obtain the anisotropic characteristics of the tested material in the entire magnetization region.

[0082] The four-pin probe 251 is fixed below the second guide plate 225. High-purity copper wire 252 is wound in coils around the four-pin probe 251. The excitation component 253 is connected to the computer. For example, the high-purity copper wire 252 has a diameter of 1.4 mm and a conductivity of 5.9 × 10⁻⁶. 7 The resistivity is 16.78 NΩ·M, and the four-pin probe has 40 turns of winding on each of the 251 probes.

[0083] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, as shown in Figure 7, the microscopic observation assembly 26 includes a microscope lens group 261 and an illumination component 262. The microscope lens group 261 is fixed inside the hollow cylinder 234 and connected to a computer via wiring. The illumination component 262 is fixed to the head of the hollow cylinder 234. For example, the magnification of the microscope lens group 261 is 1000~2000X, and the illumination component 262 emits white LED light. The side of the microscopic observation assembly 26 away from the motor assembly 21 faces the spherical indenter 233. This allows the spherical indenter to be moved to one side along the second groove to expose the microscopic observation assembly 26, enabling the microscopic observation assembly 26 to acquire the residual indentation profile dimensional parameters of the tested material.

[0084] As shown in Figure 7, the temperature detection assembly 27 mainly includes a temperature detection component (e.g., a PT100 temperature detection component) 271 and a second spring rod 272. The temperature detection component 271 is fixed to the second spring rod 272, which is fixed to the second guide plate 225 and connected to a computer. The temperature detection component contains a strain gauge for measuring the temperature of the material being measured.

[0085] In some embodiments, when testing materials, the detection device 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the base 1 is placed on the material to be tested, the switch magnet 13 is turned on, and the base 1 is attracted to the surface of the material to be tested. The attraction angle of the switch magnet is adjusted by adjusting the ball joint 12 so that the switch magnet 13 is completely attached to the surface of the material to be tested.

[0086] After adsorption is completed, the detection device 2 is moved along the slide groove (first slide groove 14) on the base plate 11, the spherical indenter 233 is aligned with the point to be tested, the main shaft of the planetary reduction stepper motor 211 is controlled to rotate, and the spherical indenter 233 is controlled to move down, so that the spherical indenter 233 contacts the material to be tested. The contact state can be based on the display value of the load sensor 231. For example, when the display value of the load sensor 231 reaches the preset value (e.g., 10N), it is considered that the spherical indenter 233 is in contact with the surface of the material to be tested. After the spherical indenter 233 contacts the surface of the material being tested, the second guide plate 225 is moved, causing the ultrasonic probe 241, the four-legged probe 251, and the temperature detection component 271 to move downwards and contact the surface of the material being tested. Since the ultrasonic probe 241 is connected to the first spring rod 242 and the temperature detection component 271 is connected to the second spring rod 272, and the first spring rod 242 and the second spring rod 272 have spring extension and contraction properties, the ultrasonic probe 241 and the temperature detection component 271 can be pressed tightly against the surface of the material being tested.

[0087] In some embodiments, after the detection components (indentation component 23, ultrasonic detection component 24, coercivity detection component 25, and temperature detection component 27, etc.) come into contact with the material to be tested, the main shaft of the planetary reduction stepper motor 211 is controlled to rotate in the positive direction, causing the spherical indenter 233 to move downward. The movement is controlled by displacement, as shown in Figure 8. The spherical indenter 233 first undergoes loading motion (corresponding to time t1). After its indentation displacement h (or indentation depth) reaches a set value (e.g., h0), the planetary reduction stepper motor 211 stops rotating and remains in this position for a period of time. After a period of time (t2-t1), following the completion of the load holding phase, the spindle of the planetary reducer stepper motor 211 moves in the reverse direction, and the spherical indenter 233 performs an unloading motion (t3-t2), completing one loading-load holding-unloading test of the spherical indenter 233. During this process, the load sensor 231 and the displacement sensor 232 record the load data applied to the spherical indenter 233 and the displacement data of the spherical indenter 233, respectively. Based on the two information, the indented load (P)-displacement (h) curve is plotted, as shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 shows the loading curve and the unloading curve. The area enclosed by the loading curve and the horizontal axis represents the work corresponding to the loading process (loading work), and the area enclosed by the unloading curve and the horizontal axis represents the work corresponding to the unloading process (unloading work). After the indentation test is completed, the planetary reduction stepper motor 211 is controlled to continue rotating in the opposite direction, slightly raising the spherical indenter 233. Once the spherical indenter 233 is higher than the initial plane of the material being tested, the spherical indenter 233 is released, allowing it to move along the groove (second groove) of the indentation fixing block 235. The spherical indenter 233 is moved to one side of the indentation fixing block 235, exposing the microscopic observation component 26 hidden in the hollow cylinder 234. Auxiliary illumination is provided by the illumination component 262, and the residual indentation left by the spherical indenter 233 on the surface of the material being tested is photographed using the microscope lens group 261. The outline of the residual indentation is shown in Figure 10, where r1 refers to the major axis of the indentation outline, r2 refers to the minor axis of the indentation outline, and σ x σ represents the normal stress along the X-axis. y This represents the normal stress along the Y-axis.

[0088] In some embodiments, coercivity testing is performed simultaneously with indentation testing. Four-legged probes 251 are wound with high-purity copper wire 252 of the same number of turns, thickness, and material. The diagonally positioned legs serve as output and induction terminals, respectively. An AC current is output to the four-legged probes 251 via an excitation component 253, sequentially magnetizing and demagnetizing the material under test. Changes in magnetic field strength H and magnetic induction intensity B during magnetization and demagnetization are collected, and hysteresis loop curves are plotted and analyzed, as shown in Figure 11. c and -H c H represents coercivity.c This refers to the magnitude of the reverse magnetic field strength when, after a material is positively magnetized to saturation, a reverse magnetic field is gradually applied, and the magnetic induction intensity B decreases from the positive saturation value to 0; -H c This refers to the magnitude of the positive magnetic field strength when a material is gradually magnetized to saturation in the reverse direction, and a positive magnetic field is applied, causing the magnetic induction intensity B to rise from the reverse saturation value to 0. B r -B represents the ability of a material to retain its magnetism after being positively magnetized. r The material indicates the ability to retain magnetism after being reverse-magnetized.

[0089] In some embodiments, ultrasonic testing is performed simultaneously with indentation testing. As shown in Figure 7, an oscilloscope and excitation component 243 are used to excite the ultrasonic probe 241. The propagation characteristics of the ultrasonic signal in the tested material are obtained through a transducer. A schematic diagram of ultrasonic signal propagation is shown in Figure 12. The left side is a schematic diagram of ultrasonic signal propagation in a defect-free material, and the right side is a schematic diagram of ultrasonic signal propagation in a defective material.

[0090] In some embodiments, temperature testing is performed simultaneously with the indentation test. As shown in Figure 7, the temperature of the surface of the material being tested is acquired in real time using a temperature detection component 271.

[0091] This disclosure also provides a testing method, as shown in FIG13, which includes steps 101 to 110.

[0092] In step 101, the circuitry of the planetary geared stepper motor assembly 21, bracket 22, indentation assembly 23, ultrasonic testing assembly 24, coercivity testing assembly 25, microscopic observation assembly 26, and temperature detection assembly 27 in the testing device 2 is integrated and connected to the computer via an Ethernet cable.

[0093] For example, the circuitry of the planetary geared stepper motor assembly 21, bracket 22, indentation assembly 23, ultrasonic testing assembly 24, coercivity testing assembly 25, microscopic observation assembly 26, and temperature detection assembly 27 in the testing device 2 is integrated and connected to a computer via a gigabit Ethernet cable to ensure stable and fast data transmission.

[0094] In step 102, the position of the spherical indenter 233 in the indentation assembly 23 is adjusted so that the spherical indenter 233 contacts the material to be tested. The indentation parameters are controlled by computer so that the spherical indenter 233 is pressed into the material to be tested. Load and displacement data of the indentation process, holding process and unloading process of the spherical indenter 233 are collected and obtained. The indentation load-displacement curve is plotted and presented on the computer.

[0095] Load and displacement data during the indentation, load holding, and unloading processes of the indenter head, collected and acquired by the indentation and indentation assembly 23, are plotted as indentation load-displacement curves and displayed on a computer. The indentation load-displacement curves are then analyzed to extract the maximum indentation load, maximum indentation depth, and residual indentation depth. The loading and unloading curves are fitted together, and the fitting function satisfies the following form: The loading energy, unloading energy, and slope of the unloading phase curve are calculated.

[0096] For example, through the Oliver-Pharr method, contact stiffness The elastic modulus, yield strength, and fracture toughness of the material are obtained through calculations using methods such as energy methods. The relationship between the indentation load-displacement curve and the material's mechanical properties is characterized using machine learning. Here, Scontact stiffness is the initial slope at the start of unloading, P is the indentation load, and h is the indentation depth. m For the maximum indentation depth, h f B represents the residual indentation depth after complete unloading; B and n are the fitting parameters of the load-depth curve, where n reflects the load variation with depth, B is the proportionality coefficient, and A... c E represents the contact area (the projected area of ​​the actual contact area between the indenter and the sample). r The reduced elastic modulus (also known as the composite elastic modulus) describes the elastic response of the contact system consisting of the indenter and the sample.

[0097] In step 103, silicone oil is applied to the head of the ultrasonic testing component 24 to make the head of the ultrasonic testing component 24 fit tightly against the surface of the material being tested. The ultrasonic testing component 24 is then subjected to ultrasonic excitation. The ultrasonic propagation time from the emission of ultrasound to the acquisition of ultrasound is collected and obtained. The obtained ultrasonic curve and the positions of the peaks and troughs are then displayed on the computer.

[0098] By using the ultrasonic testing component 24 to collect and obtain the ultrasonic propagation time from the emission of ultrasound to the acquisition of ultrasound, the obtained ultrasonic curve and the positions of the peaks and troughs are presented in the computer. According to the pulse reflection method, the propagation time T of ultrasound in the tested material is recorded. According to the ultrasonic output frequency and ultrasonic propagation speed V, the thickness H of the tested material is calculated as H = V × T / 2. The magnitude of the amplitude change and the number of peaks are obtained based on the ultrasonic feedback, which are used to evaluate whether there are defects at the test point location, and to establish a relationship model between the depth direction stress gradient and the ultrasonic time.

[0099] In step 104, the four-legged probe 251 in the coercivity detection component 26 is controlled to contact the material under test, and an alternating current is applied to the coil on the four-legged probe 251. The material under test in the area of ​​the four-legged probe 251 is first magnetized and then demagnetized. Data on the changes in magnetic field strength and magnetic induction intensity of the material under test during the magnetization and demagnetization processes are collected and recorded. The hysteresis loop is plotted in real time and presented in the calculation.

[0100] The coercivity detection component 25 will collect and record the changes in magnetic field strength and magnetic induction intensity of the tested material during magnetization and demagnetization. Four sets of hysteresis loops will be collected and plotted, and displayed on the computer. The maximum magnetic field strength will be extracted and recorded. and magnetic induction intensity And extract the intersection points of the hysteresis loop and the coordinate system. , , , A model was established to establish the relationship between the characteristic parameters of the hysteresis loop and the characteristic parameters of the material stress within the region.

[0101] In step 105, the microscopic observation component 26 is aligned with the residual indentation formed by the indentation component 23, and the contour size information of the residual indentation is collected and obtained.

[0102] The residual indentation contour size information acquired by the microscopic observation component 26 is used to take residual indentation photos, collect residual indentation contour size on the tested material, record residual indentation contour ellipticity, ellipse deflection angle and corresponding ellipse axis length, present residual indentation photos in the computer, and use function fitting for residual indentation contour.

[0103] Based on the following stress analysis model:

[0104]

[0105] A quantitative relationship is established between the residual indentation profile characteristics and the stress state at the measurement point location in the tested material. Here, k and m represent matrix coefficients, and R represents the exponent of the orthogonal experiment.

[0106] In step 106, the temperature detection component is attached to the surface of the material being tested to collect and acquire the real-time temperature change of the material being tested.

[0107] The temperature detection component 27 collects and acquires the real-time temperature change of the tested material to correct the impact of temperature change on the detection data.

[0108] It should be noted that the execution order of steps 103 to 106 is not limited, and the order of each correction can be interchanged.

[0109] In step 107, orthogonal test experiments are carried out on different materials under different stress states to obtain hysteresis loop characteristic parameters, ultrasonic characteristic parameters, indentation load-displacement curve characteristic parameters, and residual indentation profile characteristic parameters for different stress states and materials. The quantitative relationship between these four types of characteristics and the mechanical properties and stress state of the materials is established through machine learning.

[0110] Orthogonal tests were conducted on different materials under different stress states to obtain hysteresis loop characteristics, ultrasonic characteristics, indentation load-displacement curve characteristics, and residual indentation profile characteristics for different stress states and materials. The different stress states applied were biaxial stress states, including uniaxial stress states, equal biaxial stress states, and non-equal biaxial stress states, as shown in Figure 10. The constitutive model of the tested material parameters is shown in Figure 15. The quantitative relationship between these four types of characteristics and the mechanical properties and stress states of the materials was established through machine learning.

[0111] In the stress-strain curve corresponding to Figure 15, the stress at point a is σ. p (Proportional limit stress), the stress corresponding to point a' is σ e (Elastic limit stress), σ s The stress at point d represents the yield strength stress. b (Tensile strength stress), points b, c and e are typical points on the curve, α represents the slope, and tanα can represent the elastic modulus.

[0112] In step 108, experiments are conducted to investigate the effects of different stress gradients along the depth direction on various test parameters of the material under test. Through data analysis, relationship models are established between the characteristic parameters of hysteresis loop, ultrasonic characteristic parameters, indentation load-displacement curve characteristic parameters, residual indentation profile characteristic parameters, and stress gradient. A quantitative analysis model of ultrasonic characteristics and stress gradient is also established.

[0113] Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of different stress gradients along the depth direction of the tested material on various test parameters. Based on the actual model, different stress gradient functions were designed, and stress was applied to the cross-section of the specimen in the form of the function. The stress application model is shown in Figure 14. The specimens subjected to different stress gradients (corresponding to test surfaces A, B, C, D, and E, respectively) were analyzed. Through data analysis, a relationship model between four types of characteristic parameters (hysteresis loop characteristic parameters, ultrasonic characteristic parameters, indentation load-displacement curve characteristic parameters, and residual indentation profile characteristic parameters) and stress gradient was established. The quantitative analysis model of ultrasonic characteristics and stress gradient was emphasized.

[0114] In step 109, a temperature test is conducted to measure the changes in the hysteresis loop characteristic parameters, ultrasonic characteristic parameters, indentation load-displacement curve characteristic parameters, and residual indentation profile characteristic parameters of the tested material at different temperatures. Through big data analysis, a temperature influence deviation correction formula is formed to correct the error caused by the temperature change difference of the tested material on the test results.

[0115] Temperature tests were conducted to measure the changes in four characteristic parameters of the tested material at different temperatures. Through big data analysis, a temperature influence deviation correction formula was developed to correct the error caused by the temperature variation of the tested material on the test results.

[0116] In step 110, the prediction model is subjected to actual comprehensive verification.

[0117] The predictive model was comprehensively validated in practice to confirm its applicability. Ultimately, a multifunctional intelligent testing equipment and method based on indentation technology for measuring material mechanical properties and stress was developed. Based on various testing components, corresponding testing parameters were acquired, and machine learning was applied to these parameters to train samples, thereby obtaining the mechanical properties and stress state of the tested material across its entire cross-section and depth.

[0118] As shown in Figure 16, this disclosure provides a multifunctional intelligent testing equipment and method for measuring the mechanical properties and stress of materials based on indentation technology. The multifunctional intelligent testing equipment includes an indentation component, a microscopic observation component, an ultrasonic testing component, a coercivity testing component, and a temperature detection component. The indentation component obtains the indentation load-displacement curve to determine the mechanical properties at the measurement point of the tested material; the microscopic observation component observes the residual indentation profile to determine the stress state on the surface of the tested material; the ultrasonic testing component obtains ultrasonic characteristics to determine the wall thickness and defect detection of the tested material; the coercivity testing component obtains hysteresis loop characteristics to determine the anisotropy characteristics of the tested material; and the temperature detection component measures the temperature of the tested material and performs parameter corrections.

[0119] This testing method utilizes micro-indentation technology, ultrasonic measurement technology, coercivity technology, and temperature detection technology. By testing the point features, depth features, and spatial features of the material, and performing feature correction, and by using machine learning, it can predict and determine the mechanical properties and stress state of the material across the entire cross section, at the entire depth, and within a certain area.

Orthogonal test experiments are carried out on different materials under different stress states to obtain the hysteresis loop characteristic parameters, ultrasonic characteristic parameters, indentation load-displacement curve characteristic parameters, and residual indentation contour characteristic parameters of different stress states and different materials. The quantitative relationship between these four types of characteristics and the mechanical properties and stress state of the material is established by machine learning. The test is carried out on the material under test. The experiment investigated the influence of different stress gradients along the depth direction on various test parameters. Through data analysis, relationship models were established between the hysteresis loop characteristic parameters, ultrasonic characteristic parameters, indentation load-displacement curve characteristic parameters, residual indentation profile characteristic parameters, and stress gradients. A quantitative analysis model of ultrasonic characteristics and stress gradients was also established. Temperature tests were conducted to measure the changes in the hysteresis loop characteristic parameters, ultrasonic characteristic parameters, indentation load-displacement curve characteristic parameters, and residual indentation profile characteristic parameters of the tested material at different temperatures. Through big data analysis, a temperature influence deviation correction formula was developed to correct the error caused by the temperature variation differences of the tested material on the test results. Finally, the prediction model was comprehensively validated in practice.
