Fuzzy C Means Clustering

Ultrasonic guided wave technology combined with sparse transducer array provides an efficient and relatively cost-effective means of defect detection and monitoring for rapid interrogation of large in plate-like structures. However, imaging algorithm used baseline subtraction methods may be compromised under mismatched environment and operational conditions. A defect location method based on forward-scattering wave and fuzzy c-means clustering is proposed in this paper. The distance coefficient including location information between sensor pair using exciting and receiving signal and defect is defined to explain feasibility of the method proposed in this paper. A Parallel line array is evaluated using the method to locate defect. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the influence of mismatched environment and operational conditions on the defect location.

Damage Location

This paper aims to develop a method to identify the damage location in circumference direction of a pipe using mode transformation of longitudinal guided wave. The corrosion-like damage in bimetal pipe is considered. Case study that damage detection for a bimetal pipe is used to show the validity and advantage of the proposed method. It can be found that the axially symmetric mode guided wave encounter the damage and the three modes were received in reflection. The damage location in circumferential directions could be identified by conversed modes measured at one position. The simulation shows a good performance.

Corrosion Defects

Small-diameter tubes that are widely used in petroleum industries and power plants experience corrosion during long-term services. In this paper, a compact inserted guided-wave EMAT with a pulsed electromagnet is proposed for small-diameter tube inspection. The proposed transducer is noncontact, compact with high signal-to-noise ratio and unattractive to ferromagnetic tubes. The proposed EMAT is designed with coils-only configuration, which consists of a pulsed electromagnet and a meander pulser/receiver coil. Both the numerical simulation and experimental results validate its feasibility on generating and receiving L(0,2) mode guided wave. The parameters for driving the proposed EMAT are optimized by performance testing. Finally, feasibility on quantification evaluation for corrosion defects was verified by experiments.
