光纤声传感反正切解调的采样率与信号幅度关系

针对光纤光栅声传感系统反正切解调算法中采样率与声场幅度相关这一现象,计算分析了正弦声信号、高斯脉冲声信号在3种不同反正切算法下幅度与采样率的关系,用脉冲声信号进行了实验验证,并从相位展开方式的判据出发予以机理解释,以期望在应用前可根据声场、传感器灵敏度等选择恰当的采样率。数值计算和实验结果表明,这3种方式需要的采样率均与信号幅度呈线性关系,分别需要一个声周期内采样点数为信号幅度的8倍、4倍和2倍。此外,还将3种方式与微分-交叉相乘算法在软件计算时的实时性和计算精度进行了比较,在满足采样率要求时三者均较微分-交叉相乘算法的表现更佳。     

A new synthetic detection technique for trackside acoustic identification of railroad roller bearing defects

The detection of railroad roller bearing defects is of great importance for railway traffic. The acoustic defective bearing detector (ADBD) via a trackside acoustic detection system (TADS) is a popular and reliable tool for trackside identification of railroad bearing incipient defects. However, the defective trackside acoustic signal of bearing is confronted with three challenges: demodulation of acoustic signal, removal of Doppler effect and enhancement of defect frequency. This paper proposes a synthetic detection technique to overcome these difficulties successively. In the technique, the signal envelope is first extracted by a new variable-resolution ridge demodulation (VRRD) method. Then the Doppler effect is removed in the envelope via a dynamic signal resampling method. Finally, the rectified defect frequency is enhanced through the means of logarithmic transformation and piecewise linear detrending. The VRRD technique extracts the envelope from the signal time–frequency distribution (TFD) along the Doppler shift curve of resonance frequency traced by an improved ridge extraction algorithm. The resampling method is carried out on the envelope according to the Doppler shift curve of defect frequency obtained by the same ridge extraction algorithm. The sidebands around defect frequency can be suppressed by the logarithmic transformation and the low-frequency non-linear trend can be removed by the detrending method. The signal amplitude is unified at the same time. Two practical bearing signals with inner-race and outer-race defects separately verify the effectiveness of proposed technique.     

Application of passive quadrature phase demodulation for the detection of laser ultrasound

In this paper we describe a laser ultrasound detection scheme based on a new passive phase demodulation technique. Typical laser interferometers suffer from the loss of sensitivity because of phase drifts resulting from the mechanical movements of optical components and normally require closed loop stabilisation control. Through the use of a custom-designed grating mask, the present design completely eliminates the need for any feedback control by simultaneously sampling the interferometer output in the four quadrants of the optical phase circle. The signals are then processed to reproduce the actual waveform of the ultrasound pulse. The operation of the proposed technique is demonstrated through the detection of laser-generated ultrasound waves propagating inside an aluminium block.     

Comparison between instantaneous and integral intensities in dynamic speckle pattern interferometry

A new speckle measurement technique called temporal speckle pattern interferometry or time sequential speckle pattern interferometry has been developed recently. Its principle is that by capturing the temporal speckle patterns related to the object deformation or displacement, the whole-field displacement, the amplitude of the vibrating object and the shape of the tested object can be calculated through speckle intensity fluctuation scanning technique or Fourier-transforming method. In this paper, we combine the analytical and numerical methods to simulate the properties of the time demodulation in temporal speckle patterns interferometry techniques. The performance of three kinds of temporal phase sequences, power, exponential and harmonic phase sequences, are studied with the parameters of temporal speckle intensity fluctuation, the value of the spatial phase term, optical integral time of the recording camera and the initial phase of the temporal speckle intensities. The results indicate that the normalized value and period change of the instantaneous intensity are nearly coincident with that of the integral intensity for the harmonic temporal phase sequences and are different for the power and exponential temporal phase sequences.     

Novel calibration and color adaptation schemes in three-fringe RGB photoelasticity

Isochromatic demodulation in digital photoelasticity using RGB calibration is a two step process. The first step involves the construction of a look-up table (LUT) from a calibration experiment. In the second step, isochromatic data is demodulated by matching the colors of an analysis image with the colors existing in the LUT. As actual test and calibration experiment tint conditions vary due to different sources, color adaptation techniques for modifying an existing primary LUT are employed. However, the primary LUT is still generated from bending experiments. In this paper, RGB demodulation based on a theoretically constructed LUT has been attempted to exploit the advantages of color adaptation schemes. Thereby, the experimental mode of LUT generation and some uncertainties therein can be minimized. Additionally, a new color adaptation algorithm is proposed using quadratic Lagrangian interpolation polynomials, which is numerically better than the two-point linear interpolations available in the literature. The new calibration and color adaptation schemes are validated and applied to demodulate fringe orders in live models and stress frozen slices.
