DAMAGE DETECTION FOR COMPOSITE STRUCTURE UNDER TEMPERATURE CHANGES USING LAMB WAVES

温度变化下基于兰姆波的复合材料结构损伤识别(英文)

A two-step method is proposed for detection and identification of invisible impact damage in composite structure under temperature changes using Lamb waves.First,a statistical outlier analysis is employed to distinguish whether the changes of Lamb wave signals are induced by damage within a monitoring area or are only affected by temperature changes.Damage indices are defined after the Lamb wave signals are processed by Fourier transform,and a Monte Carlo procedure is used to obtain the damage threshold value for the damage indices at the undamaged state.If the damage indices in the operation state exceed the threshold value,the presence of damage is determined.Then,a probabilistic damage imaging algorithm displaying probabilities of the presence of damage within the monitoring area is adopted to fuse information collected from multiple actuator-sensor paths to identify the location of damage.Damage indices under damaged state are used to generate the diagnostic image.Experimental study on a stiffened composite panel with random temperature changes is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

提出了一种基于兰姆波的两步识别方法,对温度变化下复合材料结构内部损伤进行监测和识别。首先采用统计偏值分析方法来判别传感器网络监测到的兰姆波信号变化是由损伤引起还是由温度变化引起,从而确定损伤是否发生。在对兰姆波进行傅里叶变换后,从统计角度定义损伤指标以考虑温度变化的影响,并采用蒙特卡罗方法计算无损状态下损伤指标的阈值。如果在运行状态下获得的损伤指标超过了阈值,则认为损伤发生。然后采用损伤存在概率成像方法融合多个激励-接收路径上的损伤指标信息生成诊断图像实现损伤位置识别。对温度变化下的加筋复合材料壁板试件进行的实验研究表明了所提出方法的有效性。
