Abstract

In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to estimate the damage location in the composite panel by extracting the elastic wave signal reflected from the damaged area. The guided elastic wave is generated by a piezoelectric actuator and sensed by a piezoelectric sensor. The proposed algorithm adopts a diagnostic approach. It compares the non-damaged signal with the damaged signal, and extract damage information along with sensor network and lamb wave group velocity estimated by signal correlation. However, it is difficult to clearly distinguish the damage location due to the nonlinear properties of lamb wave and complex information composed of various signals. To overcome this difficulty, the cumulative summation feature vector algorithm(CSFV) and a visualization technique are newly proposed in this paper. CSFV algorithm finds the center position of the damage by converting the signals reflected from the damage to the area of distance at which signals reach, and visualization technique is applied that expresses feature vectors by multiplying damage indexes. Experiments are performed for a composite panel and comparative study with the existing algorithms is carried out. From the results, it is confirmed that the damage location can be detected by the proposed algorithm with more reliable accuracy.

본 논문은 복합재 패널에서 압전 작동기를 사용하여 탄성파를 생성하고, 손상에서의 반사된 신호를 압전 감지기에서 탐지하여 손상위치를 추정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 손상이 없는 신호와 손상이 있는 신호를 비교하여 손상신호를 추정하는 진단적 접근방법을 사용하였다. 신호 상관관계를 이용하여 탄성파의 군속도를 계산하고 압전기 위치정보를 이용하여 손상정보를 추출하였다. 하지만 탄성파의 비선형 특성으로 인해, 손상정보는 다양한 신호의 조합으로 구성되기 때문에, 손상위치를 명확히 구별하기 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 손상에서 반사된 신호정보를 신호 도달거리의 면적으로 변환해서 손상의 중심위치를 찾는 누적함수 특성벡터 알고리즘(CSFV, cumulative summation feature vector)을 새롭게 제안하고, 특성벡터를 손상지수와의 곱으로 표현하는 가시화 기법을 적용하였다. 또한 복합재 패널에서 실험검증을 수행하고, 기존의 알고리즘과의 비교를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 정확도 높게 손상위치를 검출할 수 있음을 보였다.
