The structure health monitoring (SHM) system with Lamb waves technique is studied numerically and experimentally in this paper. A damage shape recognition algorithm (DSRA) is developed for the hole on aluminum alloy plate specimen. The proposed DSRA is established based on the two arrival time difference method (2/ATDM) and Lagrangian optimization method. This method captures the damage shape by describing the coordinates of the reflection point from the piezoelectric ceramic lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers to the damage edge. 2/ATDM provides a way to obtain coordinate points by the arrival time which is determined by Lamb waves. And the coordinate points are optimized by the Lagrangian optimization method. A numerical model is established to simulate the proposed experiment process. Its convergence rate of mesh size and time steps is investigated, and the numerical results are verified by these of experiment. Hence, the shape recognition of damage occurring at an arbitrary position and that of irregular damage are studied by the proposed numerical and experiment methods.

In the present study, the fatigue life and fatigue fracture characteristics of annealed 7005 aluminum alloy plates subjected to different pre-tensile deformations were investigated. The results obtained upon increasing the pre-tensile deformation of the alloy plate to 20% revealed that the second-phase particles did not show any obvious changes, and that the thickness of the thin strip grain slightly decreased. The dislocation distribution in the alloy matrix varied significantly among the grains or within each grain as the dislocation density gradually increased with increasing pre-tensile deformation. Moreover, the fatigue performance of the annealed 7005 aluminum alloy plate was significantly improved by the pre-tensile deformation, and the alloy plate subjected to 20% pre-tensile deformation exhibited an optimal fatigue life of ~1.06 × 106 cycles, which was 5.7 times and 5.3 times that of the undeformed and 3% pre-stretched alloy plates, respectively. Two fatigue life plateaus were observed in the pre-tensile deformation ranges of 3–5% and 8–12%, which corresponded to heterogeneous dislocation distribution among various grains and within each grain, respectively. Moreover, two large leaps in the plot of the fatigue-life–pre-tensile-deformation curve were observed, corresponding to the pre-tensile deformation ranges of 5–8% and 16–20%, respectively.

Dissimilar metal lap joining of A5052 aluminum alloy plate and C1100 pure copper plate was performed by using friction stir spot welding. The rotating welding tool, which was composed of a probe part and a shoulder part, was plunged from the aluminum alloy plate which was overlapped on the copper plate, and residual aluminum alloy thickness under the probe part of the welding tool after plunging of the welding tool was controlled in the range from 0 mm to 0.4 mm. The strength of the welding interface was evaluated by using tensile-shear test. Microstructure of the welding interface was examined by using an optical microscope and a field emission scanning electron microscope. The welding was achieved at the residual aluminum alloy thickness under the probe part of the welding tool below 0.3 mm. The welded area was formed at aluminum alloy/copper interface located under the probe part of the welding tool, and its width increased with decreasing the residual aluminum alloy thickness. A characteristic laminate structure was produced in the copper matrix near the welding interface. In the joint fabricated at the residual aluminum alloy thickness below 0.1 mm, hook of Cu was formed at edge of the welded area. The fracture did not occur at the welding interface. A remarkable improvement in strength was observed in the joint fabricated at the residual aluminum alloy thickness below 0.1 mm. The formation of laminate structure and hook is considered to result in joint strength improvement.
