Damage detection in Mg-alloys by nonlinear ultrasonic spectroscopy
Kober, Jan ; Převorovský, Zdeněk ; Trojanová, Z.
The localization of acoustic emission (AE) sources by procedures using artificial neural networks (ANN) represents today highly effective alternative approach to classical triangulation algorithms. The main problems are in the collecting sufficiently extensive training and testing data sets together with the non portability of particular trained network to any other object. Recently, the ANN based AE source location method has been improved by using so-called signal arrival time profiles to overcome both limitations. This way of signal arrival time characterization enables ANN training on numerical models and allows the application of learned ANN on real structures of various scales and materials. In this paper, the method is upgraded and localization results are illustrated on experimental data obtained during pen-tests on a model roof I-beam and an aircraft structure part. General application possibilities of the method variations for different sensor configurations are also discussed.
