摘要

This work addresses the main challenges in real-world application of guided-waves for damage detection of pipelines, namely their complex nature and sensitivity to environmental and operational conditions (EOCs). Different propagation characteristics of the wave modes, their distinctive sensitivities to different types and ranges of EOCs, and to different damage scenarios, make the interpretation of diffuse-field guided-wave signals a challenging task. This paper proposes an unsupervised feature-extraction method for online damage detection of pipelines under varying EOCs. The objective is to simplify diffuse-field guided-wave signals to a sparse subset of the arrivals that contains the majority of the energy carried by the signal. We show that such a subset is less affected by EOCs compared to the complete time-traces of the signals. Moreover, it is shown that the effects of damage on the energy of this subset suppress those of EOCs. A set of signals from the undamaged state of a pipe are used as reference records. The reference dataset is used to extract the aforementioned sparse representation. During the monitoring stage, the sparse subset representing the undamaged pipe, will not accurately reconstruct the energy of a signal from a damaged pipe. In other words, such a sparse representation of guided-waves is sensitive to occurrence of damage. Therefore, the energy estimation errors are used as damage-sensitive features for damage detection purposes. A diverse set of experimental analyses are conducted to verify the hypotheses of the proposed feature-extraction approach, and to validate the detection performance of the damage-sensitive features. The empirical validation of the proposed method includes (1) detecting a structural abnormality in an aluminum pipe, under varying temperature at different ranges, (2) detecting multiple small damages of different types, at different locations, in a steel pipe, under varying temperature, (3) detecting a structural abnormality in an operating hot-water piping system, under multiple varying EOCs, such as temperature, water flow rate, and inner pressure; and (4) detecting a structural abnormality as the ratio of the damaged pipe's signals in the reference dataset increases.
