摘要
A sensitive damage detection method was proposed here based on analyzing ultrasonic guided waves signals using Lyapunov exponents of Duffing equation. The feasibility of the method was verified by identifying guided wave signals in a steel pipe. Firstly, a Duffing inspection system and its inspection principle were explained. The determination of system parameters was described in detail. Secondly, the propagation of guided wave in a 3m-of-length steel pipe was measured experimentally, and the measured signals were analyzed with Duffing inspection system. The test results showed that Lyapunov exponents of Duffing inspection system can be used to effectively identify small defect echos and has a strong immunity to noise simultaneously; in addition, a damage index is defined with the ratio of Lyapunov exponent when inputting measured guided wave signals with noise to that when only inputting measured pure noise signals, it can be used to evaluate the damage level of defects. This method was significant to improve the sensitivity of small defect detection using ultrasonic guided wave. ©, 2014, Chinese Vibration Engineering Society. All right reserved.
