The identification of damage based on Lamb waves can hardly avoid obtaining the reference signal under healthy conditions. A non-reference damage localization (NRDL) method is proposed in this paper. The NRDL method is established by the improved two-arrival-time difference method (2/ATDM) and BFGS method. The layout principles of the piezoelectric ceramic lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducer array in the specimen are proposed. In contrast to existing methods, the damage outside the array in the specimen is identified based on the NRDL. The full-area damage location in the specimen is realized. Furthermore, the optimization of the excitation signal center frequency and transducer array layout is carried out. The damage location accuracy is greatly improved.

“…The time of flight (ToF), which corresponds to the time taken by the wave packet to travel from an actuator to a sensor along a certain path, is a straightforward feature of the damage-scattered signal for damage localization. The ellipse and hyperbola algorithms become the two most important methods for locating defects based on the ToF in plate-like structures [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Most imaging methods based on ultrasonic Lamb waves in structural health monitoring requires reference signals, recorded in the intact state. This paper focuses on a novel baseline-free method for damage localization using Lamb waves based on a hyperbolic algorithm. This method employs a special array with a relatively small number of transducers and only one branch of the hyperbola. The novel symmetrical array was arranged on plate structures to eliminate the direct waves. The time difference between the received signals at symmetrical sensors was obtained from the damage-scattered waves. The sequence of time difference for constructing the hyperbolic trajectory was calculated by the cross-correlation method. Numerical simulation and experimental measurements were implemented on an aluminum plate with a through-thickness hole in the current state. The imaging results show that both the damages outside and inside the diamond-shaped arrays can be localized, and the positioning error reaches the maximum for the diamond-shaped array with the minimum size. The results indicate that the position of the through-hole in the aluminum plate can be identified and localized by the proposed baseline-free method.

“…Therefore, it is necessary to investigate structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies for the TPS to detect the damage. For SHM applications, sensors are usually arranged in the TPS in advance and the signals can be used to analyze the health status of the structure (Lu et al, 2017; Wu et al, 2021). Le conducted experiments to detect damage in TPS by comparing the natural frequencies and damping ratios with those of healthy state (Le and Goo, 2020).…”

The thermal protection structures of supersonic vehicles are vulnerable to damage in the extreme environment of high temperature. With advantages of the large propagation range and high sensitivity to damage, guided waves show great potential for structural health monitoring. However, guided waves are susceptible to ambient temperature change, resulting in low reliability of damage detection results. Therefore, this paper proposed a multi-scale entropy feature extraction method for structural damage detection. Firstly, to eliminate the influence of multi-mode guided waves, a sliding window was used to extract the wave packet of different signals to analyze disturbance caused by damage and temperature. Then, an ant colony optimization algorithm was introduced as a feature fusion method to improve the classification performance. To evaluate the performance of features selected by the ant colony optimization algorithm, K-means clustering algorithm, and silhouette coefficients were utilized to calculate the evaluation function and represent the characteristics of damage. Finally, a set of guided wave signals from 20°C to 40°C were obtained to investigate the influence of temperature variation on the damage feature extraction. The results show that the multi-scale entropy method based on the sliding window can effectively extract damage features in the condition of temperature change.
