The invention relates to a defect detection method of a carbon
fiber inhaul cable, which comprises the following steps: S1, constructing a
simulation model of a
carbon fiber composite inhaul cable to obtain a sensitivity matrix; s2, arranging a detection probe; s3, the detection probe collects the detection
voltage of the detected carbon
fiber inhaul cable; s4, according to the detection
voltage, the sensitivity matrix and the defect-free
voltage, calculating an initial gray
value set of all pixels of a section detected by the detection probe at the position of the detected carbon
fiber inhaul cable; s5, calculating an initial residual error according to results output from S1 to S4, and updating an initial gray
value set of all pixels of the section of the tested carbon fiber inhaul cable by using the initial residual error through a
Krylov subspace algorithm; and S6, obtaining an initial gray
value set of all pixels of the cross section of the detected carbon fiber inhaul cable according to the last iteration update, imaging, and determining the position detected by the detection probe as the position of the defect when the imaging result has the defect. According to the method, the cross section image is reconstructed through the
Krylov subspace algorithm, so that the cross section of the carbon fiber inhaul cable is clearer.
