摘要

Autonomous structural health monitoring (SHM) systems using active sensing devices have been studied extensively to diagnose the current state of aerospace, civil infrastructure and mechanical systems in near real-time and aims to eventually reduce life-cycle costs by replacing current schedule-based maintenance with condition-based maintenance.;This research develops four schemes for SHM applications: (1) a simple and reliable PZT transducer self-sensing scheme; (2) a smart PZT self-diagnosis scheme; (3) an instantaneous reciprocity-based PZT diagnosis scheme; and (4) an effective PZT transducer tuning scheme.;First, this research develops a PZT transducer self-sensing scheme, which is a necessary condition to accomplish a PZT transducer self-diagnosis. Main advantages of the proposed self-sensing approach are its simplicity and adaptability. The necessary hardware is only an additional self-sensing circuit which includes a minimum of electric components. With this circuit, the self-sensing parameters can be calibrated instantaneously in the presence of changing operational and environmental conditions of the system. In particular, this self-sensing scheme focuses on estimating the mechanical response in the time domain for the subsequent applications of the PZT transducer self-diagnosis and tuning with guided wave propagation. The most significant challenge of this self-sensing comes from the fact that the magnitude of the mechanical response is generally several orders of magnitude smaller than that of the input signal. The proposed self-sensing scheme fully takes advantage of the fact that any user-defined input signals can be applied to a host structure and the input waveform is known. The performance of the proposed self-sensing scheme is demonstrated by theoretical analysis, numerical simulations and various experiments.;Second, this research proposes a smart PZT transducer self-diagnosis scheme based on the developed self-sensing scheme. Conventionally, the capacitance change of the PZT wafer is monitored to identify the abnormal PZT condition because the capacitance of the PZT wafer is linearly proportional to its size and also related to the bonding condition. However, temperature variation is another primary factor that affects the PZT capacitance. To ensure the reliable transducer self-diagnosis, two different self-diagnosis features are proposed to differentiate two main PZT wafer defects, i.e., PZT debonding and PZT cracking, from temperature variations and structural damages. The PZT debonding is identified using two indices based on time reversal process (TRP) without any baseline data. Also, the PZT cracking is identified by monitoring the change of the generated Lamb wave power ratio index with respect to the driving frequency. The uniqueness of this self-diagnosis scheme is that the self-diagnosis features can differentiate the PZT defects from environmental variations and structural damages. Therefore, it is expected to minimize false-alarms which are induced by operational or environmental variations as well as structural damages. The applicability of the proposed self-diagnosis scheme is verified by theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and experimental tests.;Third, a new methodology of guided wave-based PZT transducer diagnosis is developed to identify PZT transducer defects without using prior baseline data. This methodology can be applied when a number of same-size PZT transducers are attached to a target structure to form a sensor network. The advantage of the proposed technique is that abnormal PZT transducers among intact PZT transducers can be detected even when the system being monitored is subjected to varying operational and environmental conditions or changing structural conditions. To achieve this goal, the proposed diagnosis technique utilizes the linear reciprocity of guided wave propagation between a pair of surface-bonded PZT transducers.;Finally, a PZT transducer tuning scheme is being developed for selective Lamb wave excitation and sensing. This is useful for structural damage detection based on Lamb wave propagation because the proper transducer size and the corresponding input frequency can be is crucial for selective Lamb wave excitation and sensing. The circular PZT response model is derived, and the energy balance is included for a better prediction of the PZT responses because the existing PZT response models do not consider any energy balance between Lamb wave modes. In addition, two calibration methods are also suggested in order to model the PZT responses more accurately by considering a bonding layer effect. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
