Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nondestructive testing technology, and in particular to a method for testing defective piezoelectric structures based on nonlocal analysis. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of precision manufacturing, smart materials, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), piezoelectric materials, due to their unique electromechanical coupling characteristics, are widely used in core functional devices such as sensors and actuators. However, during the fabrication and service process, defects such as cracks, pores, and inclusions inevitably occur within the material. These defects severely disrupt the local stress and electric field distribution of the piezoelectric structure, causing stress concentration and electric field concentration, which in turn leads to device performance degradation, signal distortion, and even sudden failure.

[0003] Vibration-based defect detection methods identify defects by monitoring changes in the natural frequencies of a structure, offering advantages such as global applicability and non-destructive nature. However, for piezoelectric structures containing defects, the displacement field is discontinuous at the defect location. Traditional numerical methods based on local differential theory (such as the finite element method) face difficulties in solving these discontinuities due to the undefined differential operators, and the electromechanical coupling effect further increases the complexity of defect characterization. Therefore, existing methods lack sufficient accuracy in predicting the natural frequencies of defective piezoelectric structures under electromechanical coupling conditions, affecting the accuracy and reliability of defect detection.

[0004] In recent years, near-field dynamics theory has provided a new approach for the mechanical analysis of structures with defects by using nonlocal integral operators instead of spatial differential operators, thus maintaining good numerical adaptability at displacement field discontinuities. However, there are currently no mature solutions for extending near-field dynamics methods to piezoelectric structures with electromechanical coupling and constructing a free vibration analysis framework suitable for defect detection. Therefore, developing a piezoelectric structure detection method that can effectively characterize the effects of defects and is applicable to electromechanical coupling conditions has significant engineering value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for detecting defective piezoelectric structures based on nonlocal analysis. By predicting the natural circular frequency and displacement mode of the piezoelectric structure and based on the difference in natural frequency, the method can accurately detect whether there are defects in the piezoelectric structure, thus solving the problem that existing detection methods are difficult to efficiently and accurately identify defects in piezoelectric structures.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for detecting defective piezoelectric structures based on nonlocal analysis, comprising the following steps: S1. Determine the dimensional parameters and electromechanical coupling material properties of the piezoelectric structure to be tested, and construct the geometric model of the piezoelectric structure; S2. Establish the local differential expression for the Gibbs free energy density of the piezoelectric structure. The local differential expression is a function including displacement components and electric potential. S3. The local differential expression of Gibbs free energy density is transformed into a nonlocal integral form using the near-field dynamics operator method. S4. Based on the piezoelectric structure geometric model, the discrete spacing of material points is set, and the nonlocal integral form is numerically discretized to establish a numerical discrete expression for the Gibbs free energy density. S5. Express the numerical discrete expression in matrix form, apply the variational principle to the matrix form, and establish an implicit numerical solution scheme. S6. Introduce an inertial term into the implicit numerical solution scheme to obtain the dynamic control equation of the piezoelectric structure, and further construct the free vibration equation. S7. Solve the free vibration equation to obtain the reference natural circular frequency and the current natural circular frequency of the piezoelectric structure. By comparing the difference between the reference natural circular frequency and the current natural circular frequency, defects can be identified and detected.

Since the integral operator is still defined at the discontinuity of the displacement field, it can directly perform free vibration analysis on discontinuous structures with defects, thus overcoming the solution difficulties caused by the lack of definition of the differential operator at the defect in the traditional local differential method. (2) By establishing the dynamic control equation of the piezoelectric structure and performing static condensation, this invention can effectively solve the natural circular frequency and displacement mode distribution of the piezoelectric structure under the combined action of mechanical and electrical loads; (3) The present invention has a stronger applicability to piezoelectric structures with defects. By comparing the inherent frequency difference between the structure to be tested and the defect-free structure, structural defects can be effectively identified and detected.

The relevant inertial terms lead to the dynamic governing equations of the piezoelectric structure: ; ; in, For the overall quality matrix, For piezoelectric structure density, The global displacement vector The second derivative with respect to time; By focusing our efforts, we solve the second equation and substitute it into the first equation.

By comparing the difference between the reference natural circular frequency and the current natural circular frequency, defects can be identified and detected.

[0032] The free vibration equation in step S6 is solved using the subspace iteration method, and the first 6 reference natural circular frequencies of the piezoelectric structure in the defect-free state and the first 6 current natural circular frequencies in the test state are extracted respectively.

[0035] Figures 3 to 8 The first six displacement modes of the piezoelectric sensor under the combined action of mechanical and electrical loads are presented.

[0036] Repeat steps S1 to S6 and the solution process described above for the piezoelectric structure under test to obtain the first six natural angular frequencies under the test state. Defects in the piezoelectric structure are identified and detected by comparing the offset or offset pattern of the current natural angular frequencies with the reference natural frequencies listed in Table 2. If a significant offset occurs in one or more natural frequencies, a defect is determined to exist in the structure. The numerical distribution characteristics of the offset can further reflect the location and severity of the defect.

[0037] The numerical results show that this embodiment can effectively predict the natural frequency and displacement mode distribution of piezoelectric ceramic structures.

[0038] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned nonlocal analysis-based method for detecting defective piezoelectric structures. It uses a near-field dynamic nonlocal integral operator to replace the traditional local differential operator, which can directly perform free vibration analysis in defective regions where the displacement field is discontinuous. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional methods, which are difficult to solve at defects due to the lack of defined differential operators. It effectively improves the accuracy of predicting the natural frequency of defective piezoelectric structures under force-electric coupling conditions and the reliability of defect detection.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
