Abstract
En 中文
Noncontact guided wave array imaging with a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV) is an effective tool to detect and locate defects within a plate-like structure, as it obviates the need for installing, calibrating, and maintaining a transducer array. However, it requires collecting guided wave signals through scanning across dense spatial grid points to avoid non-defect artifacts in the array image, which is time-consuming. In this paper, we present an accelerated noncontact guided wave array imaging method that does not require dense scanning array while providing defect imaging performance comparable to the dense scanning case. In our approach, sparse scanning measurements at only a small number of points are carried out first for fast guide wave data acquisition. Then, dense guided wave array data is reconstructed from these sparse array measurements using a sparsity-promoting optimization technique, followed by delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming to image defects within a test structure. We validate this method with laboratory experiments on composite plate specimens with multiple defects. The results demonstrate that defects within a composite plate can be successfully detected and located using sparsely sampled guided wave array measurement data. Such a significant reduction in the number of required measurement points enables accelerated noncontact guided wave array imaging.
