Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aerospace structural health monitoring technology, and in particular to a structural damage alarm method based on piezoelectric guided wave-adaptive network probabilistic correlation. Background Technology

[0002] Structural health monitoring, as a comprehensive technology integrating sensing, computing, and diagnostics, has become an important support for the full life-cycle management of engineering structures. By embedding or attaching sensor networks to critical structural components, structural health monitoring systems can capture the mechanical response and environmental parameters of the structure in real time during service. Then, using data-driven or physical model-driven algorithms, early damage can be identified and its spatial distribution and severity quantified. Ultimately, this achieves multiple goals: improved safety, reduced maintenance costs, and extended service life.

[0003] Among existing structural health monitoring methods, waveguide-based technology is widely used due to its unique advantages. Waveguide technology exhibits high sensitivity to structural damage and can cover large monitoring areas. Furthermore, this method supports a flexible application mode combining online real-time monitoring and offline data analysis, demonstrating significant technical advantages in assessing the health status of complex structures. However, in practical engineering applications, time-varying environments pose significant challenges to the reliability and accuracy of structural health monitoring. The transient or slow evolution of temperature, humidity, external loads, and boundary constraints can cause drifts in material properties (such as elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density, and geometry) through thermo-mechanical coupling mechanisms, thereby altering the impedance distribution and energy dissipation path of the structure. Simultaneously, the propagation of guided waves within the structure is also affected by the time-varying environment, causing group / phase velocities, attenuation coefficients, and amplitudes to vary with environmental conditions. When signal disturbances introduced by the time-varying environment are superimposed on the changes caused by actual damage in the time-frequency domain, traditional damage identification frameworks based on feature residuals struggle to decouple the two. Especially when the rate of change of temperature gradient or load amplitude is similar to the time scale of damage evolution, environmental noise may drown out or spoof damage-sensitive features, causing false alarms or missed alarms, thus significantly reducing the robustness of the monitoring algorithm.

[0004] In the field of structural damage alarm, conventional damage alarm methods mainly suffer from two key problems. Firstly, due to the complexity of actual service environments, the damage alarm features extracted by conventional methods often exhibit significant fluctuations, making them difficult to directly apply to structural damage alarms. Secondly, pre-set fixed thresholds lack adaptability and cannot adapt to changes in actual monitoring conditions. Furthermore, most existing methods only consider damage monitoring of a single channel, failing to fully utilize the advantages of guided wave networks to achieve comprehensive monitoring of structural damage. Therefore, guided wave structure damage alarm methods under the influence of time-varying factors still need improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application aims to provide a structural damage alarm method based on piezoelectric guided wave-adaptive network probabilistic correlation. The implementation process is simple and efficient, which can improve the damage alarm sensitivity under the influence of time-varying environment, provide comprehensive monitoring of the damage of the monitored structure, and effectively reduce the false alarm probability.
