  • Publication number: 20240060935
    Abstract: An ultrasonic measurement method for plane stress on the basis of a multi-wafer air-coupled transducer relates to the technical field of ultrasonic testing. The method solves problems that a traditional measurement method for plane stress generally computes the plane stress by changing at least 3 different measurement directions and obtaining information such as an acoustic time difference in the 3 measurement directions by using a pair of contact ultrasonic transducers, which is too complicated in operation, and a coupling agent can influence measurement accuracy of the plane stress.

    Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a non-baseline on-line stress monitoring system and monitoring method based on multi-mode Lamb wave data fusion. A Lamb wave dispersion curve is established according to geometric dimensions and material parameters of a measured object, a cut-off frequency of a first-order Lamb wave mode is obtained, an excitation frequency of a Lamb wave signal is determined, and then pure Lamb waves in S0 and A0 modes obtained inside the measured object are obtained; an acoustoelastic equation is established, an elastodynamic equation of the measured object under a prestress condition is solved, and linear relationships between a group velocity and a stress of the Lamb waves in the S0 and A0 modes under the excitation frequency are obtained; data is processed through the on-line monitoring system; a stress gradient in a depth direction is calculated, and finally, a stress state of the measured object is represented.

  • Publication number: 20230228632
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method, system, device and medium for online monitoring of a plane stress field without baseline data based on a piezoelectric transducer array. Since Lamb waves have complex multi-mode characteristics, a suitable excitation frequency needs to be selected according to geometric dimensions of the structure to be measured, and then, only low-order mode Lamb waves are excited inside the measured structure to avoid serious waveform aliasing. For isotropic measured objects, anisotropic characteristics will be generated under the action of pre-stresses, that is, the propagation velocities of ultrasonic waves in all directions are different, but there is a linear relationship between velocity changes in different propagation directions and stresses. Therefore, there is still a linear relationship between the difference of velocity changes in different propagation directions and the stress.
