Finite element modelling of ultrasound, with reference to transducers and AE waves

Finite element (FE) modelling has a role to play in simulating elastic wave propagation associated with structural vibrations, acoustic phenomena and ultrasound problems. In this work we have used the PAFEC software [PAFEC finite element software PACSYS, Strelley Hall, Nottingham, NG8 6PE, UK]. With the advent of increased computer power and greater availability of software these simulations have become more readily available and will provide improved insight into wave propagation problems. Simulations have been undertaken of transient wave propagation in steel plates with an attached simple resonant transducer. This simulates acoustic emission (AE) propagation in plate like structures relevant to many industrial applications. Simulations for short propagation distances suggest the resonant transducer voltage signal carries information on the plate-waves propagating in the structure, overlaid with the piezoelectric resonance and some information might be extracted from the transducer signal. Looking at the wave propagation information alone, a great deal of variability is seen in the displacement profile for different source types, orientations and locations. Although users have expressed a need for calibration of the AE detection process, this idea remains problematic since the complete generation and detection system has the features of a chaotic system. Using FE modelling a method of "point calibration" might be available, for some specific AE applications such as crack growth along known paths.     

Beamforming array techniques for acoustic emission monitoring of large concrete structures

This paper introduces a novel method of acoustic emission (AE) analysis which is particularly suited for field applications on large plate-like reinforced concrete structures, such as walls and bridge decks. Similar to phased-array signal processing techniques developed for other non-destructive evaluation methods, this technique adapts beamforming tools developed for passive sonar and seismological applications for use in AE source localization and signal discrimination analyses. Instead of relying on the relatively weak P-wave, this method uses the energy-rich Rayleigh wave and requires only a small array of 4–8 sensors. Tests on an in-service reinforced concrete structure demonstrate that the azimuth of an artificial AE source can be determined via this method for sources located up to 3.8 m from the sensor array, even when the P-wave is undetectable. The beamforming array geometry also allows additional signal processing tools to be implemented, such as the VESPA process (VElocity SPectral Analysis), whereby the arrivals of different wave phases are identified by their apparent velocity of propagation. Beamforming AE can reduce sampling rate and time synchronization requirements between spatially distant sensors which in turn facilitates the use of wireless sensor networks for this application.     

Some aspects of AE application in tool condition monitoring

Acoustic emission (AE) is rather a well-known form of non-destructive testing. In the last few years the technology of the AE measurement has been expanded to cover the area of tool condition monitoring. The paper presents some experience of Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) in such applications of AE. It provides an interpretation of common AE signal distortions and possible solutions to avoid them. Furthermore, a characteristic study of several different AE and ultrasonic sensors being used in WUT is furnished. Evaluation of the applicability of some basic measures of acoustic emission for tool condition monitoring is also presented in the paper. Finally paper presents a method of the catastrophic tool failure detection in turning, which uses symptoms other than the direct magnitude AERMS signal. The method is based on the statistical analysis of the distributions of the AERMS signal.     

Traceability in Fluorometry: Part II. Spectral Fluorescence Standards

The need for the traceable characterization of fluorescence instruments is emphasized from a chemist’s point of view, focusing on spectral fluorescence standards for the determination of the wavelength- and polarization-dependent relative spectral responsivity and relative spectral irradiance of fluorescence measuring systems, respectively. In a first step, major sources of error of fluorescence measurements and instrument calibration are revealed to underline the importance of this issue and to illustrate advantages and disadvantages of physical and chemical transfer standards for generation of spectral correction curves. Secondly, examples for sets of traceable chemical emission and excitation standards are shown that cover a broad spectral region and simple procedures for the determination of corrected emission spectra with acceptable uncertainties are presented. With proper consideration of the respective measurement principle and geometry, these dye-based characterization procedures can be not only applied to spectrofluorometers but also to other types of fluorescence measuring systems and even to Raman spectrometers.     

A practical technique for quantifying the performance of acoustic emission systems on plate-like structures

A model for quantifying the performance of acoustic emission (AE) systems on plate-like structures is presented. Employing a linear transfer function approach the model is applicable to both isotropic and anisotropic materials.The model requires several inputs including source waveforms, phase velocity and attenuation. It is recognised that these variables may not be readily available, thus efficient measurement techniques are presented for obtaining phase velocity and attenuation in a form that can be exploited directly in the model. Inspired by previously documented methods, the application of these techniques is examined and some important implications for propagation characterisation in plates are discussed. Example measurements are made on isotropic and anisotropic plates and, where possible, comparisons with numerical solutions are made.By inputting experimentally obtained data into the model, quantitative system metrics are examined for different threshold values and sensor locations. By producing plots describing areas of hit success and source location error, the ability to measure the performance of different AE system configurations is demonstrated. This quantitative approach will help to place AE testing on a more solid foundation, underpinning its use in industrial AE applications.     

A Novel Acoustic Emission Fiber Optic Sensor Based on a Single Mode Optical Fiber Coupler

This paper reports, for the first time, on the use of a fused-taper single mode optical fiber coupler as a sensing element for the detection of acoustic emission (AE) and ultrasound. When an acoustic wave impinges on the mode-coupling region of a coupler, the coupling coefficient is modulated via the photo-elastic effect. Therefore, the transfer function of the coupler is modulated by an acoustic wave. The sensitivity of the sensor at 140 kHz was approximately 5.2 mV/Pa and the noise floor was 1 Pa. The bandwidth of the sensor was up to several hundred kHz. This AE sensor exhibits significant advantage compared with interferometer-based AE sensors.

Hall传感器是加速器磁铁磁场测量必不可少的工具之一。为保证Hall传感器能够完成高精度的测量,在实际使用过程中,需要对其进行周期性标定。除此以外,当前加速器磁体的测试任务对Hall传感器的测量范围及工作温度提出了新的需求,因此建立一套标准的大跨度磁场及温度范围的Hall传感器标定系统具有非常重要的现实意义。基于此,搭建了一套完整的高精度Hall传感器标定系统并着重论述了其中的数据采集部分。目前基于该系统开展了一系列0~2.0 T磁场区(HHP-NP、HPCS、DTM151、HE244T等Hall传感器)下的标定尝试,标定曲线采用线性、多项式等不同方式拟合,结果表明拟合结果良好,线性偏离程度(测试结果线性偏离程度越小,精度越好)最优情况下好于0.01%。

The effect of scratch technique on the thermal-product value of temperature sensors

The effect of different scratch techniques, mainly abrasive papers and scalpel blades used to form the junctions of temperature sensors, on the thermal-product value of these sensors, was examined. A dynamic calibration procedure of scratched sensors in a shock tube facility which allows easy evaluation of their thermal-product value is outlined. The thermal product of a particular sensor was found to be dependent on the flow Mach number, junction scratch technique, junction location, and also on the enthalpy conditions. It was shown that using different scratch techniques normally results in different thermal-product values of sensors. The experimental procedure used in the present study has yielded practical data on characteristics of scratched temperature sensors; these data can be used in accurate measurement of transient heat transfer under hypersonic flow conditions.

Optical characterization methods for solid-state image sensors

The accurate measurement of the optoelectronic properties of imaging sensors is of utmost importance for their appropriate use in various modern application fields, such as in metrology, quality control, environmental monitoring, medicine or for automotive applications. Key sensor parameters include spatial resolution, uniformity, sensitivity, linearity, signal to noise ratio and dynamic range. Today high-end optical systems mostly rely on charge coupled device (CCD) image sensors. Continuous progresses in CMOS submicron technology and the advent of ‘active pixel sensor’ (APS) imagers have however led to a wealth of novel line and area array imaging devices with added functionalities (eg. on-chip control and read-out electronics) or performance optimized for specific tasks (eg. a dynamic range in excess of 120 dB). The optimal use of CMOS image sensing technology nevertheless depends strongly on the absolute and accurate optoelectronic characterization of these devices. Modern measurement techniques for a reliable, traceable, precise and absolute measurement of the most relevant parameters of CCD and CMOS imaging sensors are described and discussed in the present paper, with examples based on recent state-of-the art CMOS imagers.

A conical piezoelectric transducer with integral sensor as a self-calibrating acoustic emission energy source

The experimental results of a conical piezoelectric transducer with integral backing sensor as a self-calibrating simulated acoustic emission (SAE) energy source are presented. It has been shown that there is a negative linear relationship between the energy of SAE signal detected by the backing sensor and the relative strength (signal energy) of SAE source in the structure detected by a reference sensor under different transducer-to-structure coupling efficiencies, with AC drives of the same wave packet, frequency and peak amplitude to excite the conical transducer as a SAE source at all the investigated frequencies over the frequency range of interest in AE measurements (nominally from 50 kHz to around 1 MHz). This should enable the relative strength of the SAE source in a structure to be determined using the SAE measurement from the backing sensor for the selected electrical inputs to the conical transducer, and hence to remove the concerns about inconsistent transducer-to-structure coupling affecting the relative strength of the SAE source for calibration.     

Design and experiments on a wide range fiber Bragg grating sensor for health monitoring of coal mines

The tunnel collapse problem of coal mine is very common and its damage is very serious. It also seriously endangers people's lives and property safety. At present, a variety of instruments are used for tunnel roof structure health monitoring in most of the coal mines at home and abroad. In this paper, a displacement sensor using optical fiber grating technology was designed, which could be used to prevent the problem of coal mine tunnel collapse by monitoring the coal mine tunnel roof displacement. Firstly, finite element analysis was demonstrated to simulate the stress and displacement of coal mine tunnel roof to determine where to install the sensor. Then the characteristics of the fiber Bragg grating sensor were analyzed in detail and the sensor structure was designed according to the actual requirements in the coal mine. At last, the feasibility of the whole system was experimentally verified. The cross-sensitivity of the temperature and displacement issue with FBG sensors could be eliminated by using matched pairs of FBG. The measuring range of 50 mm and the measurement resolution up to 0.06 mm could be obtained with the proposed sensor.     

一种气压传感器新型标定补偿方法（英）

通常气压传感器的标定补偿方法复杂耗时,开发了一种新的方法去简化气压传感器的标定补偿。首先,设计恒温结构,并通过PID算法自动调节,使气压传感器的核心敏感元件工作于某一个固定温度（此温度稍高于气压传感器需要工作的最高温度点）;其次,把气压传感器在与这个固定温度点相等的环境温度下进行标定;最后,完成标定后不管环境温度如何变化,气压传感器敏感元件始终工作在一个恒定的温度,因此气压传感器的标定与补偿可以得到简化。经测试,气压传感器在一定的环境温度范围内实现恒温工作,标定后可以以较高的精度测量气压,实验结果表明经过标定补偿后的气压传感器可以在实际中应用。
