[0020] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.
[0021] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods. Unless otherwise specified, the materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available. For examples where specific conditions are not specified, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer are followed. For reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified, they are all commercially available products.
[0022] Example 1 This invention provides a method for identifying interface cracks in epoxy resin adhesives based on image processing, comprising the following steps: S1. Obtain the original image P0 of the structural sample after it has been bonded with epoxy resin adhesive. The original image is an RGB three-channel color image and includes the bonding interface area of the structural sample. The structural sample is a structure formed by bonding two workpieces together with epoxy resin adhesive and then curing it.
[0023] S2. Convert the original image into a single-channel grayscale image P1 to reduce computational complexity while highlighting the brightness differences of the cracks; S3. The single-channel grayscale image P1 is denoised based on the Gaussian blur denoising algorithm to obtain the denoised image P2; isotropic smooth denoising is achieved by convolving the image with a Gaussian kernel to suppress high-frequency noise in the image and avoid noise being misjudged as cracks; in this embodiment, a 3×3 two-dimensional Gaussian kernel is used. S4. Perform histogram equalization on the denoised image P2 to expand the dynamic range of image grayscale, solve the problem of uneven illumination, and significantly improve the contrast between the crack (low grayscale area) and the background (high grayscale area) to obtain the contrast-enhanced image P3. S5. Perform bilateral filtering on the contrast-enhanced image P3 to preserve edge details and avoid edge blurring caused by Gaussian blur (crack edges are key detection features), and obtain the preprocessed image. S6. The Canny edge detection algorithm is used to perform edge detection and recognition on the preprocessed image to obtain a binarized crack contour mask. S7. Extract crack feature parameters based on the crack contour mask, including the number of cracks and the total length, to complete the detection of cracks at the epoxy resin adhesive interface.
[0024] This method can accurately detect interfacial cracks in epoxy resin adhesives, thereby objectively evaluating the crack resistance of epoxy resin adhesives.
[0025] Example 2 This embodiment provides the application of the method of Example 1 in analyzing the bonding performance of epoxy resin adhesives. The application method is as follows: two metal workpieces are bonded together and cured using the epoxy resin adhesive to be analyzed to obtain a structural sample. The structural sample is then subjected to a cold and hot cycling treatment (for example, in one embodiment, the cold and hot cycling treatment procedure is: -50℃ to 150℃, cycle period of 1 hour, and total number of cycles of 1000). During the treatment, the method of Example 1 is used to identify cracks at the epoxy resin adhesive interface of the structural sample in order to analyze whether the developed adhesive meets the design requirements.
