研究目的
To develop a new approach to guided wave ray tomography for temperature-robust damage detection with time-of-flight (TOF) temperature compensation.
研究成果
The proposed method effectively compensates for temperature variations in guided wave tomography, eliminating artefacts caused by temperature changes from 25 ?C to 70 ?C. It provides more accurate and clearer imaging of damage compared to conventional ray tomography methods. The approach is robust and has low computational cost, making it suitable for real-time monitoring in structural health monitoring applications.
研究不足
The method is limited to materials where the TOF of guided waves has a strong linear relationship with temperature. Preliminary experiments on carbon fiber composites showed a weaker linear relationship, indicating the method may not be as effective for all materials. Additionally, the resolution is limited by the width of the first Fresnel zone, and the method is currently tested only on isotropic defects of regular shape.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The methodology involves using guided wave ray tomography with TOF temperature compensation. The linear relationship between the TOF of guided waves and temperature is utilized to compensate for temperature variations without estimating compensation parameters. The inversion is based on optimizing the TOF misfit function between inspected and compensated baseline TOFs using the elastic net penalty approach.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Experiments are conducted on isotropic plates using piezoelectric sensors. The plates are subjected to temperature variations from 25 ?C to 70 ?C to simulate real-world conditions.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) with a diameter of 5 mm and a central frequency of 250 kHz are used. The experimental setup includes a temperature testing box with a temperature control accuracy of 0.1 ?C.
4:1 ?C.
Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The baseline and reference TOFs are extracted at different temperatures. Defects are introduced into the plates, and the inspected TOFs are recorded at varying temperatures. The TOFs are compensated based on temperature measurements, and damage imaging is performed using the elastic net penalty approach.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The TOFs are analyzed using the elastic net penalty technique to perform thickness change mapping. The effectiveness of the method is evaluated by comparing the imaging results with conventional ray tomography methods.
