Spatial integration of baseline-free damage detection algorithms based on dual-PZT for the structural health monitoring of anisotropic composite aeronautic structures
Résumé
The focus is put here on the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of composite
aeronautic structure using Lamb waves emitted and recorded with piezoelectric
transducers (PZT). Conventional algorithms perform Lamb waves acquisition in the
healthy state of the structure (referred to as the “baseline”) and then compare incoming
data from an unknown state with this one to detect, locate, classify and quantify any
potential damage. The acquisition, storage, and update of the initially recorded baseline
database constitute a severe drawback of such algorithms. Indeed, the structure under
study as well as the environment may vary during its operational life without the
appearance of any damage and thus the initial baseline may not be relevant at any instant
where damage monitoring is needed. In order to circumvent this drawback, “baselinefree”
method (such as the instantaneous baseline [BI] and rupture of reciprocity [RR])
have been developed. Moreover, the use of dual-PZT, i.e. concentric PZT made of a
ring and a disk lying on the same ceramic, has been shown as attractive for baselinefree
purposes. However, now that several algorithms based on dual-PZT are available,
no study dealing with the spatial integration of the results provided by these algorithms
have been reported in the literature. It is thus proposed in this paper to investigate
strategies for the spatial integration of common baseline-free methods (namely BI and
RR) on an experimental case of damage on a highly anisotropic composite plate. Results
illustrate the decomposition of Lamb wave modes in signals measured via dual PZTs as
well as the proposed spatial integration strategies for these methods.
