A modelling method integrating principal component analysis (PCA) and the least-squares support vector machine with particle swarm optimisation (PSO-LSSVM) is proposed to address the difficulties in quantitative identification of fatigue cracks. The widths and depths of fatigue cracks are quantitatively identified by establishing a non-linear mapping relationship between these dimensions and magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signals. A series of fatigue crack samples are prepared through the fatigue tensile test for the MFL detection system. A sample library is established through MFL experimentation to verify the feasibility of the method for quantitative identification of fatigue cracks based on PSO-LSSVM. The results indicate that the method is in a position to effectively and quantitatively identify the widths and depths of fatigue cracks less than 1 mm in size with a maximum error of approximately 0.3 mm.

Embedded CPU in traditional magnetic flux leakage detection system was used as the master controller. CPU is serial processor, which making it difficult to collect the large amounts of real-time data. While FPGA has the advantages of high integration, high speed processing, parallel processing. FPGA is applied to magnetic flux leakage acquisition system to solve data acquisition problem. It comes up with the designs of a multi-channel magnetic flux leakage signal selection control module, A/D conversion module and communication module in VHDL language on QuartusII. The experimental results show that each module of the magnetic flux leakage acquisition system based on FPGA can meet the requirements, and can correctly collect magnetic flux leakage signal, convert and transmit data. Design of FPGA-based is programmable in the field, magnetic flux leakage collection system can be flexibly designed for different occasions, and has independent intellectual property rights.

During bars manufacturing and using process, the use of bars with cracks influenced the service life and sustainable work, on the premise of certain detection system, the choose of signal de-noising method plays an important part in magnetic flux leakage testing process, for which determining the global performance of testing equipment. This paper studies on magnetic flux leakage signals characteristic of cracks on the bar, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of wavelet analysis and wavelet packet threshold de-noising, and on this basis, in order to give consideration to both the low and high frequency interference signal removing, adopted an integration method that combines wavelet packet threshold de-noising, wavelet packet decomposition and wavelet reconstruction, which greatly improved signal processing results.
