Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic defect detection technology, and specifically to a method and system for assessing the condition of power fittings. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, an ultrasonic transducer typically transmits an ultrasonic excitation signal to the power fitting and receives the echo signal at another location on the power fitting. Since the propagation of ultrasonic waves within the fitting is affected by the material state and structural integrity, existing technologies usually compare the total energy of the received echo signal with the energy of the transmitted signal, construct an energy loss index based on the degree of energy attenuation, and use this index to determine whether the power fitting is abnormal and the degree of abnormality.
[0003] However, when ultrasound propagates inside power fittings, it does not propagate in a single mode, but rather forms multiple wave components with different propagation speeds and characteristics. The guided wave signal mainly propagates along the fitting structure and is more sensitive to the overall structural state; the slow wave signal carries some response information generated by structural defects, interface scattering, and local energy conversion. The received echo signal is actually a composite signal formed by the superposition of multiple propagation modes.
[0004] Current technologies for calculating energy loss indices typically perform energy statistics directly on the overall echo signal without distinguishing and analyzing guided wave signals and slow wave signals within the echo signal. Instead, they uniformly mix the state information carried by different propagation modes into the total energy parameter for processing. The resulting energy loss index only reflects the overall energy change and fails to reflect the differences in the response of different propagation modes to changes in the hardware's state.
[0005] Furthermore, when power fittings are in the defect initiation or minor damage stage, the sensitivity of guided wave signals and slow wave signals to abnormal conditions often differs, while the change in the total echo energy may not be significant. In this case, relying solely on the overall echo energy attenuation for condition assessment can easily mask some abnormal information, making it difficult to accurately reflect the true operating state of the power fittings. Simultaneously, different damage forms may produce similar total energy attenuation results, further increasing the uncertainty in condition determination. Therefore, existing technologies suffer from low accuracy in power fitting condition assessment. Summary of the Invention

This invention achieves effective separation of the two propagation modes by performing Wigner-Ville time-frequency analysis on the echo signal and accurately dividing the frequency ranges and arrival times of guided and slow waves based on the time-frequency ridge. Compared with existing technologies that directly calculate the total energy of the overall echo, this invention can extract the state information from the guided wave signal and the slow wave signal separately, avoiding the overlap of response characteristics of different propagation modes, thereby significantly improving the ability to identify abnormal states of power fittings (especially the defect initiation or minor damage stages).
[0018] 2. In the early stages of defects or minor damage, the overall change in total echo energy is often insignificant.

This invention introduces a damage dissipation coefficient and combines it with the relative distortion vectors of wavelet packets of guided and slow waves to form a multi-dimensional feature description system. Finally, through fusion processing using a dual-modal compensation network, it can effectively distinguish the different effects of different damage types on the two propagation modes, improving the accuracy of power fitting condition assessment.

For the number of each node, For the layer number, This is used to avoid parameters that are 0.
[0039] This invention performs wavelet packet decomposition on slow-wave signals, refining the slow-wave energy to different decomposition levels and frequency band nodes. By comparing the slow-wave energy with a healthy baseline, the relative slow-wave energy change rate at each level node is calculated, thereby constructing a relative distortion vector for the slow-wave wavelet packet. This method can reveal the local energy change characteristics of slow waves during propagation. Compared to simple total energy analysis, it can more sensitively reflect low-frequency abnormal energy distribution changes caused by minor damage, structural loosening, or cracks inside power fittings, helping to detect abnormal signals early and improve the accuracy and reliability of condition assessment.

[0043] By simultaneously considering waveguide loss and slow wave energy changes, this invention can not only quantify the energy attenuation caused by defects during waveguide propagation, but also capture the abnormal accumulation of slow wave signals, thereby achieving sensitive detection of internal damage to power fittings.
[0044] In this embodiment, the dual-modal compensation network includes: a first fully connected layer, a second fully connected layer, an adder A1, a third fully connected layer, a fourth fully connected layer, a fifth fully connected layer, and a compensation output unit. S7 includes the following sub-steps: S71.

A dual-mode distortion feature fusion is achieved through adder A1, thus simultaneously characterizing guided wave propagation anomalies and slow wave propagation anomalies. Subsequently, a third fully connected layer is used to establish a nonlinear mapping relationship between distortion features and fitting status, obtaining initial state values. Further, a fourth and fifth fully connected layer are used to extract features from the damage dissipation coefficient, obtaining a damage coefficient reflecting the degree of energy dissipation. A compensation output unit is then used to compensate for the initial state values. This invention not only utilizes the energy redistribution characteristics of guided and slow wave frequency bands but also integrates the damage dissipation information characterized by guided wave loss and slow wave energy anomalies.
