Background

The world economy globalization promotes the rapid development of international trade, and more than 90% of the international trade is completed by waterway transportation according to statistics, while container transportation becomes the main force of ocean transportation. With the increasing container throughput, the shore container crane (shore bridge for short) is developing towards high speed and large scale. The front pull rod of the shore bridge has a supporting effect on the girder, and the normal work of the shore bridge can be directly influenced. The edge of a stress release hole of the front pull rod is easy to generate microcracks under the action of cyclic load, the front pull rod is difficult to check because of being in a high-altitude position, and once the fine cracks are not checked, the front pull rod can be extended and cracked or even broken due to long-term accumulation, so that economic loss and casualties are caused. The detection means commonly used at present include visual inspection, ultrasonic detection, penetration detection, magnetic particle detection and the like, the detection efficiency is low, the detection is required to be carried out in a shutdown state, and the detection result cannot be mastered in real time on the operation condition of the shore bridge. The ultrasonic guided wave has the advantages of long propagation distance, small attenuation, high defect identification capability and the like, gets rid of the limitation that the conventional detection needs point-by-point scanning, and is suitable for real-time monitoring of the damage of inaccessible areas such as the front pull rod and the like under the condition that the shore bridge is not stopped.

Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a shore bridge front pull rod joint damage monitoring and positioning method based on ultrasonic guided waves.

Detailed Description

The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples and figures, and the following examples are illustrative and not limiting, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

The invention aims to provide a shore bridge front pull rod joint damage monitoring and positioning method based on ultrasonic guided waves, which utilizes the ultrasonic guided wave technology to realize monitoring and positioning of defects on a front pull rod joint. The rectangular sensor array layout method suitable for monitoring the defects of the front pull rod joint area is provided, whether the structure is damaged or not is judged by using the difference between a reference signal and a damage signal acquired by a sensor array unit, and the signals are simple and clear and are convenient to analyze; further, an ellipse positioning algorithm and a data fusion method shown in fig. 1 are adopted to reconstruct the defects, so that the monitoring and positioning of the defects in the front pull rod of the shore bridge are realized. The method is specifically realized by the following steps:

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a front tie rod joint area defect monitoring system, which comprises an industrial computer, a self-developed 64-channel signal excitation receiver, a piezoelectric transducer array (PZT) and a front tie rod of a monitoring object. The monitoring object front pull rod is of an H-shaped structure and is composed of a middle web plate and flange plates on two sides, the material is Q235, and the thickness of the web plate is 25 mm. Figure 3 shows the ultrasonic guided wave group velocity dispersion curve of a web 25mm thick of the monitored object. The sensor selects circular piezoelectric ceramics (PZT) with the diameter of 12mm and the thickness of 0.48mm, 16 piezoelectric sensor units are arranged to form a sparse sensor array, the number of the sparse sensor array is 1-16, and the sensor is arranged as shown in figure 2. Because the test object is an in-service crane and damage cannot be simulated by destructive methods such as grooving, punching and the like, the test method adopts AB glue to bond a stainless steel column with the diameter of 10mm on the edge surface of the stress release hole to serve as a simulation defect. The excitation signal is a hanning window modulated 5-cycle sine wave centered at 150 kHz.

First, reference signal acquisition is carried out, the propagation path of the sensor is shown in FIG. 4, and the sensor T_i(i-1, … … 8) as excitation, sensor T_j(j ═ i +1, i +2, … … 16) as received acquisition signals, for a total of 64 sets of reference signals. Then the diameter of the edge of the stress release hole at the left side of the front pull rod is pasted asThe 10mm stainless steel column is used as a simulation defect, the method is the same as the reference signal acquisition method, and 64 groups of monitoring signals are acquired.

In order to avoid complex modal analysis, the test performs data processing by using the mode with the highest speed, so that the wave speed of the 1 st direct wave packet is only required to be calculated. The wave velocity calculation is performed by taking the reference signal when the No. 1 sensor is excited, the No. 9 sensor receives the reference signal, and the excitation frequency is 150kHz as an example. Fig. 4 shows the received signals 1-9, and it can be distinguished from fig. 5 that the 1 st wave packet is a crosstalk signal synchronized with the excitation signal, the 2 nd wave packet is a direct wave signal of the mode with the fastest speed, and the following wave packet is a superposition of direct waves of other modes and end reflected waves, and no analysis is performed. First, the wave velocity of the direct wave is calculated by a time-of-flight method, and it is known that the distance L between the excitation and reception sensors is 200mm, the propagation time Δ t of the direct wave is 43.51 μ s (in fig. 5, the initial excitation time is subtracted from the packet time No. 2), and the corresponding wave velocity V of the direct wave is L/Δ t 4597 m/s. From the group velocity dispersion curve of the web given in fig. 3, the theoretical group velocity of the S1 mode corresponding to the frequency of 150kHz is 4494, which is substantially identical to the direct wave velocity calculated in this experiment, and differs by 2.3%. Therefore, the direct wave can be judged to be the S1 mode of Lamb, and the actual propagation group velocity is 4597 m/S.

Then, the collected original detection signals are analyzed, fig. 6 and 7 respectively show the excitation of the sensor No. 1, the reception of the sensor No. 12, and the reception signals under the non-defective and defective conditions, and the reception signals under the two conditions are subtracted to obtain the scattering signal containing the defect information, as shown in fig. 8. As can be seen from fig. 8, there is a significant defect reflection echo in the signal, which indicates that the method can achieve the monitoring of the defect in the front drawbar joint area.

The scattered signals on the sensing path are processed by an ellipse positioning algorithm, that is, the defect can be positioned on an ellipse track which takes the sensor 1 and the sensor 12 as a focus and takes the defect echo propagation distance as a major axis according to the excitation, the sensor receiving position and the propagation time of the defect reflected echo, and the positioning result is shown in fig. 9. Where the box represents the location of the sensor and the cross indicates the location of the defect. It can be seen that the color of the elliptical track at or near the position of the simulated defect is darker, which indicates that the method can realize elliptical positioning of the simulated defect.

In order to realize the positioning of the defect in the structure, data fusion needs to be performed on the unit positioning results of the sensor array, and all the unit positioning results are added and fused according to the formula (6-2), so as to obtain the defect positioning result based on the sensor array, as shown in fig. 10. As can be seen from the positioning results, the position with the darkest color in the figure is matched with the actual position of the simulated defect. Therefore, the ultrasonic guided wave monitoring method for the defects of the shore bridge front pull rod joint can be used for monitoring and positioning the defects of the front pull rod joint area.
