Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of signal fusion of array sensor used in ultrasonic guided wave weld detection, the asynchronous excitation was proposed to superimpose the signals from different excitation elements in array sensor through the propagation of characteristic guided wave in weld structure. The ABAQUS finite element analysis software was used to simulate the detection signal directly excited by the sensor array composed of different numbers of excitation chips and the detection signal excited by using time-division excitation. It was found that multiple excitation elements could lead to the disorder and irregularity of the signals, while the asynchronous excitation reduced the mixing of signals, and the energy of the detection signal can be steadily increased as the number of excitation wafers increases, and the signal superposition effect is more ideal. The time-division excitation method reduced the signal mixing, and the energy of the detection signal could be steadily increased as the number of excitation wafers increased, and the signal superposition effect was more ideal.
