循环温度疲劳作用下粘接界面损伤的非线性超声评价

材料损伤以及性能退化与超声波的非线性效应密切相关.为研究循环温度疲劳作用下粘接界面的损伤情况,本文采用超声波透射法,研究了6061型铝合金/改性丙烯酸酯胶粘接界面的声学非线性系数随高温、低温循环次数的变化情况.结果表明,在高温循环疲劳作用的初始阶段,试件的非线性系数变化不明显,但随着高温循环次数的不断增加,非线性系数随循环次数的变化十分明显;对于低温循环疲劳作用的初始阶段,试件的非线性系数迅速增大,随着循环次数的增加,其值增速减缓.在低温循环疲劳寿命的后期,试件的非线性系数随循环次数的增加而继续增大.进一步的讨论结果表明,胶层三阶弹性常数的变化是造成高温循环疲劳时非线性系数变化的主要原因,而对于低温循环疲劳,粘接界面拉伸刚度的变化是引起非线性系数变化的主要原因.

金属材料疲劳损伤检测的非线性声学方法*

金属材料的疲劳损伤有前期、后期两个阶段,前期疲劳损伤主要来源于位错,而随着疲劳程度的不断加深,位错密度也不断的增加,这将导致疲劳后期微裂纹的产生。这两个阶段产生声学非线性效应的机理不同,分别用位错模型、微裂纹模型对其产生非线性效应的机理进行了阐述,并对不同阶段的疲劳试样进行了相关实验研究。实验结果表明:对于材料早期疲劳损伤,随着疲劳程度的增加,其接收声波信号中的非线性谐波成分越来越显著,并且随着激励电压的增加,非线性效应更加明显,因此可用接收信号中的谐波激发情况来评估材料的早期疲劳损伤程度。而对于材料疲劳后期出现微裂纹后,其产生的非线性与早期疲劳损伤相比,谐波成分更加丰富,并且随激励电压的增加谐波幅度增加明显,可据此来判断材料中的疲劳损伤阶段。

材料力学性能早期退化在微观结构上表现为位错和晶带滑移等缺陷的变化,在超声波检测中表现为高次谐波的产生。发展了一套在材料疲劳实验机上直接任线测量超声非线性系数的实验系统,在相同条件下测量了同一试件作不同输入电压下的二次谐波和基波幅度,二次谐波幅度和基波幅度平方的线性相关系数r=0.9996,表明实验系统是可靠的。同时利用该系统进行了三组不同加载应力的镁合金试件疲劳在线非线性超声检测实验。实验结果表明,在疲劳寿命的55%之前,超声非线性系数对疲劳加载周数具有很高的灵敏度。因此,利用超声非线性系数可以很好地表征镁合金的疲劳早期退化。另外在中低周疲劳范围内,加载应力的大小以及拉-拉和拉压疲劳模式的变化对实验结果没有明显的影响。     

Concrete damage diagnosed by using non-classical nonlinear acoustic method

<正>It is known that the strength of concrete is seriously affected by damage and cracking.In this paper,six concrete samples under different damage levels are studied.The experimental results show a linear dependence of the resonance frequency shift on strain amplitude at the fundamental frequency,and approximate quadratic dependence of the amplitudes of the second and third harmonics on strain amplitude at the fundamental frequency as well.In addition,the amplitude of the third harmonics is shown to increase with the increase of damage level,which is even higher than that of the second harmonics in samples with higher damage levels.These are three properties of non-classical nonlinear acoustics.The nonlinear parameters increase from 10~6 to 10~8 with damage level,and are more sensitive to the damage level of the concrete than the linear parameters obtained by using traditional acoustics methods.So,this method based on non-classical nonlinear acoustics may provide a better means of non-destructive testing(NDT) of concrete and other porous materials.     

The thermal activation of cummulative fatigue damage at ultrasonic frequencies

Internal friction, modulus defects and the initial occurrence of slip lines on the surface of armco iron specimens were studied during and after loading at 22.5 kHz, at temperatures of 296, 333, 373 and 423 K and with strain amplitudes ranging from 1.5 × 10^-7 to 4 × 10^-4. At a particular strain, amplitude dependent internal friction begins, the modulus starts to change and the slip lines may be observed. These strain amplitudes are thermally affected by activation energies of 25.1, 16.7 or 13.6 J kmol^-1 as defined by the Arrhenius equation.     

Non-destructive testing of ceramic balls using high frequency ultrasonic resonance spectroscopy

Although ceramic balls are used more and more for bearings in the aerospace and space industries, defects in this type of ceramic material could be dangerous, particularly if such defects are located close to the surface. In this paper, we propose a non-destructive testing method for silicon nitride balls, based on ultrasonic resonance spectroscopy. Through the theoretical study of their elastic vibrations, it is possible to characterize the balls using a vibration mode that is similar to surface wave propagation. The proposed methodology can both excite spheroidal vibrations in the ceramic balls and detect such vibrations over a large frequency range. Studying their resonance spectrums allows the balls’ elastic parameters be characterized. Ours is an original method that can quickly estimate the velocity of surface waves using high frequency resonances, which permits surface and sub-surface areas to be tested specifically. Two applications are described in this paper. Both use velocity measurements to achieve their different goals, the first to differentiate between flawless balls from different manufacturing processes, and the second to detect small defects, such as cracks. Our method is rapid and permits the entire ceramic ball to be tested in an industrial context.     

Non-destructive evaluation of composite materials with ultrasonic waves generated and detected by lasers

Measurement of the stiffness properties of composite materials with laser generated and detected ultrasound requires proper understanding of waves emanating from a line or point source in anisotropic and viscoelastic media. The paper briefly presents calculation results of waves radiated by such a source through or at the surface of a composite plate. Dispersion is represented as well as the multiple wave arrivals connected with the folded shape of the quasi-shear ray surface. Moreover, internal diffraction at the cusp edges is properly depicted. An identification method with specific signal processing have been used to measure the stiffness coefficients of composite materials. From group velocity data, the stiffness tensor of materials showing an orthorhombic symmetry can be identified. The stiffness tensor changes induced by elevated temperatures in a composite material were then measured. An alternative approach was developed which allows to measure the phase velocities of waves generated with laser line sources. The material characterisation reliability is then improved. Moreover, the method can be used in practical cases where the front side of the structure only is accessible with the experimental devices. Despite reflection at the rear interface of transient divergent waves which ray surfaces may contain caustics, this inverse problem can be solved in a simple and efficient manner.     

A time-resolved method for nonlinear ultrasonic measurements

We describe a time-resolved method for measuring nonlinear ultrasonic phenomena. Current approaches rely on a narrowband measurement of harmonic generation to identify and characterize nonlinearity. Concomitant with these techniques is poor time resolution. We address this limitation with a hybrid narrowband/broadband approach that provides simultaneous time resolution and harmonic isolation for the measurement of weak nonlinearites. We discuss applications and present demonstrative results showing harmonic generation both in water and at a dry contact aluminum-aluminum interface.
