The invention belongs to the field of material detection and evaluation, and discloses a
phased array-critical
refraction longitudinal wave-based
plane stress detection method, which comprises the following steps: estimating a material sound velocity range, optimizing a
phased array ultrasonic
delay rule, obtaining a change curve of different excitation sound velocities and critical
refraction longitudinal wave amplitudes, and extracting an optimal excitation sound velocity; critical
refraction longitudinal
waves are excited in the sample with the optimal excitation sound velocity, and
processing such as interpolation and filtering is carried out on signals received by array elements of a receiving probe; obtaining the amplitude and sound time of critical refraction longitudinal
waves, and calculating the sound velocity of the critical refraction longitudinal
waves and the sound
time difference of different array elements for receiving the critical refraction longitudinal waves; establishing the change relation of the critical refraction
longitudinal wave sound velocity, the amplitude and the sound
time difference along with the stress. According to the method, the critical refraction longitudinal wave acoustic time-stress relation in a traditional stress test method is improved into the critical refraction longitudinal wave acoustic time-stress-
array element spacing relation, and the problems that in the traditional method, material adaptability is poor, acoustic time calculation stability is poor, and stress test reliability is low are effectively solved.
