Ultrasonic Guided Wave

A preliminary study of the behavior of ultrasonic guided wave mode in a pipe using a comb transducer for maintenance inspection of power plant facilities has been verified experimentally. Guided wave mode identification is carried out in a pipe using time-frequency analysis methods such as wavelet transform (WT) and short time Fourier transform (STFT), compared with theoretically calculated group velocity dispersion curves for longitudinal and flexural mode. The results are in good agreement with analytical predictions and show the effectiveness of using the time-frequency analysis method to identify the individual guided wave modes. And, It was found out that longitudinal mode (0, 1) is affected by mode conversion less than the other modes. Therefore, L (0, 1) is selected as a optimal mode for evaluating location of the surface defect in a pipe.

Data Calibration

This study presents a feasibility of using guided waves for a long-range inspection of pipe through investigation of mode conversion and scattering pattern from edge and wall-thinning in a steel pipe. Phase and group velocity dispersion curves for reference modes of pipes are illustrated for theoretical analyses. Predicted modes could be successfully generated by controlling frequency, receiver angle and wavelength. The dispersive characteristics of the modes from and edge wall-thinning are compared and analyzed respectively. The mode conversion characteristics are distinct depending on dispersive pattern of modes. Experimental feasibility study on the guided waves was carried out to explore wall thinning part in pipe for data calibration of a long range pipe monitoring by comb transducer and laser.

Guided Mode

Interaction of fundamental torsional ultrasonic pipe guided mode T(0, 1) from defects caused by induction pressure welding (IPW) process is studied using three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) analysis validated by experiments. Defects are assumed as cross-sectional notches along the weld bond-line, and both surface-breaking and embedded features are considered. Results show that T(0, 1) mode reflection from weld defects is strongly influenced by features of the weld itself. However, with supplementary results such as the mode-converted flexural F(1, 3) and F(1, 2) modes and circumferential variation of T(0, 1) reflection, there is potential for an effective screening solution.

Testing Signal

It is of great significance to monitor and quantify the defects in the thin segmental spherical shell components. In the paper the guided wave’s inspiring method has been obtained from the wave-mode conversion based on the theory of the guided wave propagating in the thin spherical shell. Using the wavelet to process the testing signal, and the ellipse localization imaging algorithm, the defect’s localization and orientation can be detected accurately. Experimental results show the defect’s direction and location can be detected effectively and clearly.
