Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nondestructive testing technology, and in particular to an environmental noise-adaptive multi-spectral stress wave-acoustic print damage detection method and system. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as industrial non-destructive testing, aerospace, petrochemicals, rail transportation, nuclear power equipment, and intelligent manufacturing, equipment structural health monitoring and defect detection are key links to ensure production safety and extend equipment life. Currently, the mainstream testing technology is based on traditional ultrasonic testing, but this type of technology and its derivatives have significant limitations in practical applications and are difficult to adapt to the complex needs of industrial scenarios.

[0003] From the perspective of technological application characteristics, existing detection technologies generally treat noise in industrial environments as interference signals. Traditional ultrasonic testing requires the construction of a quiet testing environment (such as an isolated workshop or soundproofing devices) to operate, which severely limits the testing scenarios. At the same time, most technologies adopt a single-band detection mode. Due to the limitations of the physical characteristics of sound waves, single-band signals cannot simultaneously achieve both penetration depth and detection resolution. Low-frequency signals can penetrate thicker materials but are difficult to identify microscopic defects, while high-frequency signals have high resolution but weak penetration ability, directly causing the loss of information on multi-scale defects (such as macroscopic structural cracks and surface micro-damage). In addition, existing technologies mostly rely on shutdown testing modes, which require interrupting the production process to create stable testing conditions, making it impossible to achieve real-time monitoring while the equipment is running. In the defect judgment stage, traditional methods mainly rely on manual experience to set fixed thresholds, which have poor adaptability to detection signals under different materials and operating conditions. False alarms or false alarms are easily caused by threshold deviations, further reducing the reliability of the detection.

[0004] From the perspective of practical application shortcomings, the limitations of existing technologies have created multiple constraints: First, stringent environmental requirements significantly increase testing costs, requiring additional investment in the purchase, installation, and maintenance of soundproofing equipment, and making it unsuitable for special industrial scenarios such as outdoor, high-temperature, and high-noise environments; Second, insufficient information utilization leads to inadequate testing coverage, as single-band signals can only capture defects at a certain scale, making it difficult to comprehensively assess the overall health status of equipment. For example, in the inspection of metal components, macroscopic cracks in weld areas and micro-corrosion on the surface may be missed; Third, the shutdown testing mode severely impacts production efficiency, especially in the inspection of large equipment such as aero-engines and nuclear power reactors, where a single shutdown can cause economic losses ranging from tens of thousands to millions of yuan; Fourth, low levels of intelligence lead to strong reliance on operator experience, and differences in judgment standards among different personnel further amplify testing errors; Fifth, insufficient quantitative capabilities, with existing technologies mostly only able to qualitatively determine the existence of defects, making it difficult to accurately assess key parameters such as defect size, depth, and propagation rate, thus failing to provide precise data support for equipment maintenance.

[0005] In summary, the shortcomings of existing non-destructive testing technologies in terms of environmental adaptability, testing efficiency, intelligence level, and quantitative capabilities can no longer meet the demands for "online, real-time, accurate, and intelligent" equipment testing in the context of Industry 4.0. There is an urgent need for a new testing solution that can overcome the limitations of traditional technologies. Summary of the Invention

The acoustic texture map construction process incorporates temperature, stress, and boundary condition compensation models, significantly reducing errors caused by differences between installation conditions and standard environments, providing a stable benchmark for defect judgment.

[0131] 3. Enhanced ability to identify complex structures and various types of defects: The 3D acoustic pattern map, combined with acoustic impedance tensor field inversion, characterizes the anisotropic features of the material through tensor invariants and coupled components, effectively distinguishing different types of defects such as cracks, corrosion, and voids. Compared to traditional scalar impedance analysis, the accuracy of defect location for complex structural components is significantly improved.

[0132] 4. Achieving high precision and reliability in quantitative defect assessment: Based on a multi-dimensional Bayesian framework that integrates multi-band features and combines KL divergence, Mahalanobis distance, and other difference algorithms, accurate quantitative determination of defect levels is achieved. A stress weight allocation mechanism is introduced to reasonably increase the assessment weight of defects in high-stress areas, matching actual failure risks. The combination of acoustic empirical formulas and statistical models improves the accuracy of defect size assessment, meeting the quantitative detection needs of engineering projects.

[0133] In summary, this invention significantly improves the sensitivity, accuracy, and adaptability of acoustic emission stress wave detection in complex industrial environments through technological innovations such as multi-excitation fusion, multi-spectral analysis, tensor field inversion, and intelligent decision-making.

Actual working conditions include temperature, stress, and boundary conditions, eliminating the influence of environmental differences on spectrum characteristics, and establishing a multi-level mapping relationship between frequency band, spatial location, and spectrum parameters. Acoustic impedance tensor calculation unit: Based on the calibrated acoustic impedance data output by the multi-level spectrum mapping unit, an acoustic impedance tensor model is constructed at each point in space. The model includes principal impedance components and coupled impedance components. The principal impedance components are diagonal elements, and the coupled impedance components are off-diagonal elements.

The acoustic impedance features include six items: impedance mean, impedance gradient, impedance anisotropy, impedance nonlinearity, impedance phase delay, and impedance quality factor, forming a high-dimensional feature vector. The feature extraction unit also includes a multi-resolution analysis module, which uses wavelet packet decomposition to perform time-frequency decomposition on the acoustic emission stress wave signal to obtain an energy feature vector containing the energy of each sub-band. The energy feature vector, together with the time domain features, frequency domain features, and acoustic impedance features, constitutes a high-dimensional feature vector. Anomaly identification unit: Built-in KL divergence, Wasserstein distance, and Mahalanobis distance calculation models, automatically selects the appropriate vector distribution difference algorithm to identify defects and anomalies, and outputs the anomaly level, which includes normal, slight, moderate, and severe.
