混凝土声发射信号源定位精度的细观模型计算分析*

混凝土内部在断裂时会产生相应的声发射信号,通过这一信号,混凝土内部损伤断裂区域可以被定位。然而,混凝土是一种多相非均匀材料,而声发射定位算法是基于均匀介质假设进行计算的,因此采用该算法对其定位会产生一定的误差,有必要从细观的角度研究混凝土非均匀性对定位精度的影响。本文基于随机骨料模型以及时差定位算法（基于遗传算法）,建立了一种用于估计混凝土声发射定位误差的定量估算模型。本文采用该模型定量估算分析了混凝土细观组分对其声速的影响,并在该分析结构的基础上继续分析了骨料含量以及声速取值偏差对定位精度的影响。     

Acoustic emission localization in beams based on time reversed dispersion

The common approach for the localization of acoustic emission sources in beams requires at least two measurements at different positions on the structure. The acoustic emission event is then located by evaluating the difference of the arrival times of the elastic waves. Here a new method is introduced, which allows the detection and localization of multiple acoustic emission sources with only a single, one point, unidirectional measurement. The method makes use of the time reversal principle and the dispersive behavior of the flexural wave mode. Whereas time-of-arrival (TOA) methods struggle with the distortion of elastic waves due to phase dispersion, the method presented uses the dispersive behavior of guided waves to locate the origin of the acoustic emission event. Therefore, the localization algorithm depends solely on the measured wave form and not on arrival time estimation. The method combines an acoustic emission experiment with a numerical simulation, in which the measured and time reversed displacement history is set as the boundary condition.     

Fiber optic acoustic emission sensor and its applications in the structural health monitoring of CFRP materials

A fiber optic acoustic emission sensor based on fused-tapered coupler and its applications in structural health monitoring are proposed in this paper. The fiber optic acoustic emission sensor (FOAES) was tested using pencil lead break tests compared with the commercial acoustic emission sensor (R15 PZT). Besides, the sensor was embedded into the carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) materials and tested in the same way. It successfully detected the AE signals. FOAES was applied in the structural health monitoring (SHM) of CFRP materials. Damages of carbon fiber/epoxy composite laminates during three-point-bending test were monitored by surface-mounted and embedded FOAES, respectively. Results identified that the sensor embedded into composite structures could monitor damage of composite laminates on-line as the surface-mounted sensor did.     

Locating point of impact in anisotropic fiber reinforced composite plates

The conventional triangulation technique cannot predict the point of impact in an anisotropic composite plate because the triangulation technique assumes that the wave speed is independent of the direction of propagation which is not the case for anisotropic plates. An alternative method based on the optimization scheme was proposed by Kundu et al. [T. Kundu, S. Das, K.V. Jata, Point of impact prediction in isotropic and anistropic plates from the acoustic emission data, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 122, 2007, 2057-2066] to locate the point of impact in plates by analyzing the time of arrival of the ultrasonic signals received by the passive sensors attached to the plate. In this paper, that objective function is modified further to overcome the inherent difficulties associated with multiple singularities and to maximize the efficiency of the acoustic emission data for multiple receiving sensors. With this modified objective function the impact point on an anisotropic composite plate is predicted from the acoustic emission data. Experiments are carried out by dropping steel and ping pong balls on a graphite-epoxy composite plate and recording acoustic signals by passive transducers adhesively bonded to the plate at three different locations. The impact point is predicted by the proposed method and compared with the actual location of impact.     

Acoustic-based damage detection method

Most of the structural health monitoring (SHM) methods is either based on vibration-based and contact acoustic emission (AE) techniques. Both vibration-based and acoustic emission techniques require attaching transducers to structure. In many applications, such as those involving hot structural materials for thermal protection purposes or in rotating machines, non-contact measurements would be preferred because the operating environment is prohibitive leading to potential damage in contact sensors or their attachments. In this paper, a new non-contact, acoustic-based damage detection method is proposed and tested with an objective that the proposed method is able to detect the location and extend of damage accurately. The proposed acoustic-based damage detection method is a direct method. In this proposed method, changes in vibro-acoustics flexibility matrices of the damage and health structure are used to predict the location and extend of damage in the structure. A case study involving actual measured date for the case of a fixed–fixed plate structure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results have shown that the proposed acoustic-based damage detection method can be used to detect the location and extend of the damage accurately.     

Active fiber composites for the generation of Lamb waves

Active fiber composites (AFC) are thin and conformable transducer elements with orthotropic material properties, since they are made of one layer of piezoelectric ceramic fibers. They are suitable for applications in structural health monitoring systems (SHM) with acoustic non-destructive testing methods (NDT). In the presented work the transfer behavior of an AFC as an emitter of transient elastic waves in plate-like structures is investigated. The wave field emitted by an AFC surface bonded on an isotropic plate was simulated with the finite-difference method. The model includes the piezoelectric element and the plate and allows the simulation of the elastic wave propagation. For comparison with the model experiments using a laser interferometer for non-contact measurements of particle velocities at different points around the AFC on the surface of the plate were performed. Transfer functions defined as the ratio of the electric voltage excitation signal and the resulting surface velocity at a specific point are separately determined for the two fundamental Lamb wave modes. In order to take the orthotropic behavior of the AFC into account the transfer functions are determined for several points around the AFC. Results show that the AFC is capable to excite the fundamental symmetric and antisymmetric Lamb wave mode. The antisymmetric mode is mainly radiated in the direction of the piezoelectric fibers, while the symmetric mode is spread over a larger angle. The amplitudes of the emitted waves depend on the frequency of the excitation as well as on the geometric dimensions of the transducer.

Experimental and numerical study on damage detection in an L-joint using guided wave propagation

Longitudinal and flexural wave propagation in a steel L-joint is considered in this paper. Particular attention is paid to damage detection aspects. Experimental investigations were conducted on an intact L-joint as well as on an L-joint with a notch. Velocity time histories of elastic waves propagation have been applied to find the location of damage. To model longitudinal as well as flexural wave propagation including lateral and shear deformations, the special frame spectral element in the time domain, based on the Mindlin-Herrmann rod and Timoshenko beam theories, was formulated. As a result this paper discusses in detail the possibility of detection of damage in an L-joint and it compares the usefulness of the application of axial and flexural waves in non-destructive damage detection for this typical structural component.     

Numerical simulation of the ultrasonic waves generated by ring-shaped laser illumination patterns

The generation of ultrasound in aluminum plate subjected to ring-shaped laser beam illumination has been studied quantitatively by using the finite element method. The superposition effects of surface acoustic waves on the top surface and the bulk ultrasonic waves on the rear surface of specimen have been obtained in a single simulation. The typical displacement profiles of the bulk ultrasonic wave at various depths along the central axis of the ring are obtained for three different radii, and the effect of the ring radius on the focal depths of the compression and shear mode are determined. The numerical results confirm that the focal depth of a bulk acoustic mode is determined by the directivity patterns of the acoustic mode generated by point-like laser sources via a thermoelastic mechanism, which depends on the physical constants of elastic medium.
