“…Thanks to their good mechanical properties, light weight, and low cost, thin wall-like structures have been increasingly used [1], such as high-pressure gas cylinders, oil pipelines, and aerospace structures. During their service life, the thin walllike structures will inevitably suffer various types of structural damages, such as delamination [2][3][4], holes [5][6][7], cracks [8,9] and so on, under the effect of the alternating load [10], chemical corrosion [11,12], and environmental factors [13]. Eventually, these damages will threaten their performance and safety [14] if they are not identified in early age.…”

In this research, a new method based on singular spectrum analysis (SSA) and fuzzy entropy is developed for damage detection on thin wall-like structures, and the normalized fuzzy entropy is employed as an indicator to identify the severity of the damage. The Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) transducers are used in this research to generate and detect the Lamb waves. During the detection, the collected signals from the PZT sensors are firstly decomposed and reconstructed by SSA to extract the feature of the damage, and then the reconstructed signals with the feature of the damage are processed to obtain the normalized fuzzy entropy. An experimental setup of an aluminium plate with added magnets is fabricated to validate the proposed method. The experimental results show that when magnets are attached on the aluminium plate, the normalized fuzzy entropy is smaller than that when there are no magnets. That is because when magnets are placed on the plate, the movement and some vibration modes of Lamb waves are disturbed by the added magnets and this disturbing effect can be enhanced by increasing the number and locations of the added magnets, and eventually the complexity and nonlinearity of the waves are weakened. The experimental results of a single damage with different number of magnets indicate that the normalized fuzzy entropy decreases linearly as the number of the added magnets increases, which demonstrates that the proposed method can be used to detect the severity of the damage. Moreover, the experimental results of multi-damage on different locations indicate that the normalized fuzzy entropy is relevant with both the total number and locations of the added magnets. The normalized fuzzy entropy decreases linearly as the total number of the magnets increases, and the entropy of a single damage is smaller than that of the multi-damage with the same total number of magnets, which demonstrates that the proposed method also can be used for multi-damage detection on a thin plate. This study provides us a new approach to identifying a single or multiple damages on thin wall-like structures.
