This study elaborates fundamental differences in fatigue crack detection using nonlinear guided waves between plate and pipe structures and provides an effective approach for analysing nonlinearity in pipe structures. For this purpose, guided wave propagation and interaction with microcrack in a pipe structure, which introduced a contact acoustic nonlinearity, was analysed through a finite element analysis in which the material nonlinearity was also included. To validate the simulation results, experimental testing was performed using piezoelectric transducers to generate guided waves in a specimen with a fatigue crack. Both methods revealed that the second harmonic wave generated by the breathing behaviour of the microcrack in a pipe had multiple wave modes, unlike the plate scenario using nonlinear guided waves. Therefore, a proper index which considered all the generated wave modes due to the microcrack was developed to quantify the nonlinearity, facilitating the identification of microscale damage and further assessment of the severity of the damage in pipe structures.

This study proposes a new nondestructive evaluation methodology named laser lock-in thermography (LLT) for fatigue crack detection. LLT utilizes a high power continuous wave (CW) laser as a heat generation source for lock-in thermography instead of commonly used flash and halogen lamps. The advantages of the proposed LLT method are that (1) the laser heat source can be positioned at an extended distance from a target structure thank to the directionality and low energy loss of the laser source, (2) thermal image degradation due to surrounding temperature disturbances can be minimized because of high temperature gradient generated by the laser source and (3) a large target surface can be inspected using a scanning laser heat source. The developed LLT system is composed of a modulated high power CW laser, galvanometer and infrared camera. Then, a holder exponent-based data processing algorithm is proposed for intuitive damage evaluation. The developed LLT is employed to detect a micro fatigue crack in a metal plate. The test result confirms that 5 μm (or smaller) fatigue crack in a dog-bone shape aluminum plate with a dimension of 400 x 140 x 3 mm3 can be detected.
