The invention discloses a
carrier modulation nonlinear
ultrasonic guided wave damage detection method, comprising the following steps: selecting a high-
low frequency component according to
frequency response characteristic of a detection object, and performing
delayed time processing on the high-
low frequency component and combining with a
low frequency component to form a modulated
carrier signal; performing
signal acquisition by adopting a
single excitation-single reception mode, exciting the modulated
carrier signal containing a
high frequency component and the low frequency
signal by virtue of a single-excitation
transducer, generating
nonlinear modulation effect by the
carrier signal by virtue of interaction with damage during propagation, and acquiring by a reception
transducer by virtue of a transmission method; according to
arrival time of the
high frequency component and time when an end surface reflects an echo, intercepting the
signal and analyzing, performing filtering andnormalization
processing on the signal, then decomposing a received signal by adopting an empirical mode
decomposition method, and according to decomposed IMF
frequency spectrum information, selectingIMF components containing a
base frequency and a nonlinear frequency component and performing
signal reconstruction; and extracting a difference frequency component of a high-
frequency modulation sidelobe and a low-
frequency modulation sidelobe, namely a nonlinear component, calculating a
nonlinear coefficient, and evaluating material damage degree by taking a
nonlinear coefficient of zero damageas a benchmark.
