结构中微裂纹与超声波的混频非线性作用数值仿真研究

针对结构中微裂纹检测难题,本文对结构中微裂纹与超声波的混频非线性作用进行了数值仿真研究。基于经典非线性理论,得到了两列超声纵波相互作用产生混频效应的理论条件。通过有限元仿真,研究了两列纵波与微裂纹相互作用产生混频的条件,并分析了界面处静应力、摩擦系数和裂纹方向对混频效应的影响。研究发现,超声波与微裂纹相互作用产生混频非线性效应的发生条件仍符合经典非线性理论下的混频产生条件。裂纹界面处施加的静应力对差频横波幅值有明显影响;当施加静应力与无裂纹模型得到的最大应力值接近时,混频非线性效应最强;裂纹界面的摩擦系数对超声波的混频非线性效应影响较小;透射差频横波传播方向与经典非线性理论预测的理论差频分量方向基本一致,且几乎不受裂纹方向变化的影响,而反射差频横波的传播方向随裂纹方向的改变而有所不同。本文研究工作为微裂纹检出及方向识别做了有益探索。

Assessment of Heat Treated Inconel X-750 Alloy by Nonlinear Ultrasonics

The nonlinear ultrasonic technique is known as a promising tool for monitoring material states related with micro-structural changes, with improved sensitivity compared to conventional nondestructive testing techniques. It is well known that degradation of material properties is generally accompanied by the increase of material nonlinearity. However, the trend has been rarely investigated in the opposite way for improved material properties. In this paper, nonlinear ultrasonic waves are used to assess the material condition of heat treated Inconel X-750 alloy based on the nonlinear acoustic parameters. Material property testing is conducted to compare the influence of heat treatment for comparison with the nonlinear parameter based prediction. The material properties of specimens are improved by applying heat treatment, with significant decreases in the acoustic nonlinearity. The better the mechanical property achieves via heat treatment, the smaller the acoustic nonlinearity becomes. It can be concluded that the nonlinear acoustic technique can be used to evaluate the effect of heat treatment nondestructively, and to optimize the process, thus providing another indication of the feasibility of using the nonlinear ultrasonic technique for material characterization.     

Ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation of microstructural changes of solid materials under plastic deformation—Part II. Experiment and simulation

The microstructure of materials introduced by rolling, drawing, heat treatment or other methods of material processing relates to the macroscopic mechanical properties of the materials, such as the strength and anisotropy. The velocity and attenuation of the ultrasonic waves propagating in the materials are known to be dependent upon such microstructural material properties. The author has proposed a theoretical modeling of an ultrasonic nondestructive method to evaluate the microstructural property changes of materials in Part I of this work. In the present paper, annealed effects on plastically deformed states of an aluminium alloy were studied using the proposed ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation method and it was found that close agreement between the simulated results and experimental data was possible.     

Propagation of guided waves in pressure vessel

Pressure vessels usually operate under extremes of high/low temperatures and high pressures. Defect, such as crack and corrosion, can result in leakage or rupture failures, even catastrophic incidents. Guided wave-based structural health monitoring (SHM) technology is one of the most prominent options in non-destructive evaluation and testing (NDE/NDT) techniques. Propagation of guided waves in a typical pressure vessel is systematically investigated in this study for the application of guided wave-based SHM. Shape of the pressure vessel is a cylinder with two end caps. Because of geometric similarity, theory of guided wave propagation in the cylinderical structure is analyzed to study dispersive features of guided waves in the pressure vessel. Dispersion curves of three different types of guided wave modes, viz. the longitudinal, torsional and flexural modes, are calculated using theoretical method. Based on the analyses and experimental wave signals, central frequency and wave parameters of incident wave are optimized. Effect of contained liquid on propagation of guided waves, especially the L(0, 2) mode, in the pressure vessel is further investigated to minimize energy leakage of the wave to the contained liquid. The analytical method, finite element analysis (FEA) and experiments are applied to study propagation characteristics of guided waves in the pressure vessel, so as to demonstrate the feasibility of guided wave-based non-destructive evaluation and testing (NDE/NDT) for such kind of complex structures.

Thermal Fatigue Damage Assessment in an Isotropic Pipe Using Nonlinear Ultrasonic Guided Waves

The use of nonlinear ultrasonic waves has been accepted as a potential technique to characterize the state of material micro-structure in solids. The typical nonlinear phenomenon is generation of second harmonics. Second harmonic generation of ultrasonic waves propagation has been vigorously studied for tracking material micro-damages in unbounded media and plate-like waveguides. However, there are few studies of launching second harmonic guided wave propagation in tube-like structures. Considering that second harmonics could provide useful information sensitive for material degradation condition, this research aims at developing a procedure for detecting second harmonics of ultrasonic guided wave in an isotropic pipe. The second harmonics generation of guided wave propagation in an isotropic and stress-free elastic pipe is investigated. Flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) comb transducers are used to measure fundamental wave and second harmonic one. Experimental results show that nonlinear parameters increase monotonically with propagation distance. This work experimentally verifies that the second harmonics of guided waves in pipe have the cumulative effect with propagation distance. The proposed procedure is applied to assessing thermal fatigue damage indicated by nonlinearity in an aluminum pipe. The experimental observation verifies that nonlinear guided waves can be used to assess damage levels in early thermal fatigue state by correlating them with the acoustic nonlinearity.
