Title
Sector Piezoelectric Sensor Array Transmitter Beamforming MUSIC Algorithm Based Structure Damage Imaging Method.
Abstract
Elastic-wave-based structural health monitoring technology has a broad application potential for its sensitivity and ability to achieve regional monitoring. For structures with large damping and specific shapes, the traditional damage monitoring method is limited by the sensor arrangement area and affected by low signal-to-noise ratios, so it is difficult to accurately locate the damage in a structure. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a damage monitoring method based on a sector piezoelectric sensor array for multiple signal classification algorithm. By arranging two sector piezoelectric sensor arrays that are suitable for a specific structure, the damage scattering array signal under the multi-excitation source was obtained and synthesized, the signal-to-noise ratios were improved, and the damage location accuracy was thus improved. The effectiveness of the method was verified by monitoring the damage in a circular bonded structure with a metal ring. Compared with the damage localization methods based on the traditional single excitation source multiple signal classification algorithm, path imaging and delay-sum imaging, this method can achieve better damage location and has a higher localization accuracy.
