板中热弹波传播:一种改进的勒让德多项式方法

近年来,超声导波因其衰减小,传播距离远和信号覆盖范围广,成为无损检测领域快速发展的方向之一.然而,基于超声导波的高温在线检测和激光超声技术却发展缓慢,其关键在于热弹耦合波动方程求解难度大、传播与衰减特性研究困难.作为一种有效的求解方法,勒让德正交多项式方法已广泛应用于导波传播问题,但该方法在求解热弹导波传播时存在两个不足,限制其进一步的发展和应用.这两个缺陷是:(1)求解过程中大量积分的存在,致使计算效率低下;(2)仅能处理等热边界条件的热弹导波传播.针对两项不足之处,提出一种改进的勒让德正交多项式方法,以求解分数阶热弹板中的导波传播.推导求解方法中积分的解析表达式,以提高计算效率;引入温度梯度展开式,发展适合勒让德多项式级数的绝热边界条件处理方法.与已有文献结果对比表明改进方法的正确性;与已有方法的计算时间对比说明改进方法的高效性.最后将改进的方法用于求解分数阶热弹板中的导波传播,研究分数阶次对频散、衰减曲线和应力、位移、温度分布等的影响.     

GUIDED THERMOELASTIC WAVE PROPAGATION IN LAYERED PLATES WITHOUT ENERGY DISSIPATION

In this paper, the propagation of guided thermoelastic waves in laminated orthotropic plates subjected to stress-free, isothermal boundary conditions is investigated in the context of the Green-Naghdi (GN) generalized thermoelastic theory (without energy dissipation). The coupled wave equations and heat conduction equation are solved by the Legendre orthogonal polynomial series expansion approach. The validity of the method is confirmed through a comparison. The dispersion curves of thermal modes and elastic modes are illustrated simultaneously. Dispersion curves of the corresponding pure elastic plate are also shown to analyze the influence of the thermoelasticity on elastic modes. The displacement and temperature distributions are shown to discuss the differences between the elastic modes and thermal modes.     

Investigation of guided waves propagation in orthotropic viscoelastic carbon–epoxy plate by Legendre polynomial method

The effect of viscoelasticity on the guided waves propagation in viscoelastic plate has been investigated according to multi-aspect. To this purpose, an extension of the Legendre polynomial method is proposed to formulate the guided waves equation in orthotropic viscoelastic plate composed of carbon–epoxy. The validity of the proposed Legendre polynomial method is illustrated by comparison with available data. The convergence of the method is discussed through a numerical example. The hysteretic and Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic models are used to integrate the imaginary part of the complex stiffness matrix associated with the viscoelastic plate in this study. Accordingly, both viscoelastic models do not affect on the dispersion curves results. However, appreciable effects are seen in the attenuation curves. Also, the sensitivity of the guided waves propagation caused by variations of elastic and viscoelastic modulus has been studied in detail. Finally, the advantages of the Legendre polynomial method are described.     

Characteristics of guided waves in graded spherical curved plates

An elastodynamic solution for the stress wave propagation in spherical curved plates composed of functionally graded materials (FGM) is presented. Properties of materials are assumed to vary in the direction of the thickness according to a known radial variation law (gradient field). The formulation is based on the linear three-dimensional elasticity. The Legendre orthogonal polynomial series expansion approach is used for determining the guided waves dispersion curves in functionally graded spherical curved plates. Our results from a homogeneous anisotropic spherical curved plate are compared with those published earlier to confirm the accuracy and range of applicability of this polynomial approach. Guided wave dispersion curves for graded spherical curved plates with different gradient fields are calculated, and the effects of the gradient field on the characteristics of guided waves are illustrated. Finally, dispersion curves for graded spherical curved plates at different ratios of inner radius to thickness are calculated to discover the influences of that ratio on the wave characteristics.     

Transient thermoelastic waves in an anisotropic hollow cylinder due to localized heating

This paper presents a theoretical study of transient ultrasonic guided waves generated by concentrated heating of the outer surface of an infinite anisotropic hollow circular cylinder. Generalized thermoelastic theory proposed by Lord and Shulman is adopted to model the dynamic thermoelastic behavior of the cylinder. The concentrated heat source model used is to represent heating due to a pulsed laser beam, which is focused on the outer surface of the cylinder. A semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) method is employed to evaluate guided wave modes in the cylinder. Using integral transform techniques, the modal wave forms are obtained in frequency and wave number domains. Time histories of the propagating modes are then calculated by applying inverse Fourier transformation in the time domain. Numerical results showing the dispersion curves for the group velocities of the propagating modes and transient radial displacements are presented. For this purpose it is assumed that the cylinder is made of transversely isotropic silicon nitride (Si₃N₄). Attention is focused on the propagation characteristics of longitudinal and flexural modes separately.

一种基于深度学习的超声导波缺陷重构方法

超声导波检测因其传播效率高、耗能少等优势成为了无损检测领域的重要研究方向.目前已有的利用超声导波进行结构缺陷探测和定量化重构的方法主要由相关的导波散射理论推导得出.然而,由于导波散射问题本身的高复杂性,使得在推导上述理论方法时引入一些近似假设,降低了重构结果的质量.另外,有些方法通过优化迭代的方式提高重构精度,又会增加检测的时间成本.有鉴于此,论文探索了一种将卷积神经网络与导波散射理论模型以局部融合的方式实现缺陷定量化重构的新方法.应用样本数据训练后的神经网络实现缺陷定量化重构,弥补缺陷重构过程中的理论模型误差,同时去除在实际检测过程中所存在的环境噪声.论文以利用SH导波重构平板中的减薄缺陷为研究对象,通过数值模拟验证了该方法在缺陷重构时具有高效率和高精度的特点,特别是对矩形缺陷的重构,新方法的结果精度比波数空间域变换法的精度提高了近200%.     

Elasto-thermodiffusive (ETNP) surface waves in semiconductor materials

The present article is devoted to investigate the propagation of elasto-thermodiffusive (ETNP) surface waves in a homogeneous isotropic, thermally conducting semiconductor material of half-space with relaxation of heat and charge carrier fields. The secular equation, a more general functional relation, that governs the propagation of elasto-thermodiffusive (ETNP) surface waves in homogeneous isotropic, thermoelastic semiconductor material halfspace with relaxation of heat and charge carrier fields has been derived by solving a system of coupled partial differential equations. A hybrid numerical technique consisting of Descartes algorithm for solving complex polynomial characteristic equation along with functional iteration scheme has been successfully used to solve the secular equation in order to obtain dispersion curves, attenuation coefficient and specific loss factor of energy dissipation for p-type germanium (Ge) semiconductor. Some particular forms of the general secular equation governing the propagation of elasto-thermodiffusive (ETN/ETP), thermoelastic (ET), elastodiffusive (EP/EN) and thermodiffusive (TP/TN) surface waves have been also deduced and discussed. In order to illustrate the analytical development, the numerical solution of the secular equation and other relevant relations under different situations is also carried out for Ge semiconductor materials to characterize the elasto-thermodiffusive (ETP) and thermodiffusive (TP) surface waves. The computer simulated results have been presented graphically in respect of the dispersion curves, attenuation coefficient and specific loss factor.     

Analysis of damped guided waves using the method of multiple scales

We analytically investigate the influence of damping on Lamb waves, which are a specific type of guided wave in two-dimensional plates. Considering material attenuation, we suppose that Lamé constants are complex numbers. This leads to the associated wavenumbers being complex, with the imaginary part of the wavenumber being associated with effect of attenuation of the guided wave. In this paper, we show how dispersion curves and attenuation coefficients can be obtained using the self-adjointness and the method of multiple scales (MMS), which is a type of perturbation method. Using the self-adjointness and the MMS, we can calculate the frequency- and wavenumber-dependent attenuation coefficients from the integral values and boundary values of a corresponding eigenfunction with respect to each propagation mode. This analytical method can yield not only dispersion curves but also mode-by-mode attenuation coefficients regardless of the numerical initial values, unlike numerical approaches using the Newton method. Thus, the proposed method can more easily calculate the attenuation coefficients with respect to a particular mode than conventional methods. Furthermore, the results obtained by proposed method were in good agreement with those obtained by the semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) method, which validates the proposed method.     

A novel physics-informed framework for reconstruction of structural defects

The ultrasonic guided wave technology plays a significant role in the field of non-destructive testing as it employs acoustic waves with the advantages of high propagation efficiency and low energy consumption during the inspect process. However, the theoretical solutions to guided wave scattering problems with assumptions such as the Born approximation have led to the poor quality of the reconstructed results. Besides, the scattering signals collected from industry sectors are often noised and nonstationary. To address these issues, a novel physics-informed framework (PIF) for the quantitative reconstruction of defects by means of the integration of the data-driven method with the guided wave scattering analysis is proposed in this paper. Based on the geometrical information of defects and initial results obtained by the PIF-based analysis of defect reconstructions, a deep-learning neural network model is built to reveal the physical relationship between the defects and the noisy detection signals. This learning model is then adopted to assess and characterize the defect profiles in structures, improve the accuracy of the analytical model, and eliminate the impact of the noise pollution in the process of inspection. To demonstrate the advantages of the developed PIF for the complex defect reconstructions with the capability of denoising, several numerical examples are carried out. The results show that the PIF has greater accuracy for the reconstruction of defects in the structures than the analytical method, and provides a valuable insight into the development of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted inspection systems with high accuracy and efficiency in the fields of structural integrity and condition monitoring.

Wave propagation in a fractional viscoelastic Andrade medium: Diffusive approximation and numerical modeling

This study focuses on the numerical modeling of wave propagation in fractionally-dissipative media. These viscoelastic models are such that the attenuation is frequency-dependent and follows a power law with non-integer exponent within certain frequency regimes. As a prototypical example, the Andrade model is chosen for its simplicity and its satisfactory fits of experimental flow laws in rocks and metals. The corresponding constitutive equation features a fractional derivative in time, a non-local-in-time term that can be expressed as a convolution product whose direct implementation bears substantial memory cost. To circumvent this limitation, a diffusive representation approach is deployed, replacing the convolution product by an integral of a function satisfying a local time-domain ordinary differential equation. An associated quadrature formula yields a local-in-time system of partial differential equations, which is then proven to be well-posed. The properties of the resulting model are also compared to those of the Andrade model. The quadrature scheme associated with the diffusive approximation, and constructed either from a classical polynomial approach or from a constrained optimization method, is investigated. Finally, the benefits of using the latter approach are highlighted as it allows to minimize the discrepancy with the original model. Wave propagation simulations in homogeneous domains are performed within a split formulation framework that yields an optimal stability condition and which features a joint fourth-order time-marching scheme coupled with an exact integration step. A set of numerical experiments is presented to assess the overall approach. Therefore, in this study, the diffusive approximation is demonstrated to provide an efficient framework for the theoretical and numerical investigations of the wave propagation problem associated with the fractional viscoelastic medium considered.

Thermoelastic wave propagation in inhomogeneous media

Summary A novel approach to the modeling of thermoelastic wave propagation is presented, based on the thermodynamics of discrete systems. The first novelty includes the representation of integral balance laws for thermoelasticity in terms of contact quantities that describe the nonequilibrium state of elements. The next new aspect is a modification of the recently proposed wave-propagation algorithm, which is used as a tool for determining the contact quantities in a finite-volume scheme for the numerical simulation of two-dimensional thermoelastic wave propagation in inhomogeneous media. Such a modification is needed to provide the satisfaction of the thermodynamic consistency conditions between adjacent discrete elements. Results of computations for certain test problems show the efficiency and physical consistency of the algorithm. Received 11 November 1999; accepted for publication 2 May 2000

Wave characteristics in functionally graded piezoelectric hollow cylinders

Based on linear three-dimensional piezoelasticity, the Legendre orthogonal polynomial series expansion approach is used for determining the wave characteristics in hollow cylinders composed of the functionally graded piezoelectric materials (FGPM) with open circuit. The displacement and electric potential components, expanded in a series of Legendre polynomials, are introduced into the governing equations along with position-dependent material constants so that the solution of the wave equation is reduced to an eigenvalue problem. Dispersion curves for FGPM and the corresponding non-piezoelectric hollow cylinders are calculated to show the piezoelectric effect. The influence of the ratio of radius to thickness is discussed. Electric potential and displacement distributions are used to show the piezoelectric effect on the flexural torsional mode. The influence of the polarizing direction on the piezoelectric effect is illustrated. For the radial and axial polarization, the piezoelectric effect reacts mostly on the longitudinal mode. For circumferential polarization, the piezoelectric effect reacts mostly on the torsional mode. In the FGPM hollow cylinder, piezoelectricity can weaken the guided wave dispersion.     

EFFECT OF FRACTIONAL ORDER PARAMETER ON THERMOELASTIC BEHAVIORS OF ELASTIC MEDIUM WITH VARIABLE PROPERTIES

This paper is concerned with the thermoelastic behaviors of an elastic medium with variable thermal material properties. The problem is in the context of fractional order heat conduction. The governing equations with variable thermal properties were established by means of the fractional order calculus. The problem of a half-space formed of an elastic medium with variable thermal material properties was solved, and asymptotic solutions induced by a sudden temperature rise on the boundary were obtained by applying an asymptotic approach. The propagations of thermoelastic wave and thermal wave, as well as the distributions of displacement,temperature and stresses were obtained and plotted. Variations in the distributions with different values of fractional order parameter were discussed. The results were compared with those obtained from the case of constant material properties to evaluate the effects of variable material properties on thermoelastic behaviors.
