Using Hilbert Transform in Diagnostic of Composite Materials by Impedance Method

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of the increasing of information quality for the impedance method of nondestructive testing. The purpose of this article is to get for the pulsed impedance method of nondestructive testing the additional informative parameters. Instantaneous values of the information signal's amplitude is a sensitive parameter to the effects of interference, in particular friction, which necessitates the use of additional informative features. It was experimentally measured signals from defective and defectless areas of the test pattern. Using of the Hilbert transform gave possibility to determine phase characteristics of these signals and realize demodulation to extract a low-frequency envelope for further analysis of its shape. It was received the informative features as a result of researches. Among them are instantaneous frequency of a signal, the integral of a phase characteristic on the selected interval and the integral of a difference signal phase characteristics. In order to compare quality of the defect detection using selected parameters it was carried out evaluation of the testing result reliability for a product fragment made of a composite material. Considering the influence of the change in the mechanical impedance of the researched area on the phase-frequency characteristics of the output signal of the converter, it is proposed to use as the diagnostic signs: the instantaneous frequency and the value of the phase characteristic of the current signal for certain points in time. The proposed informative features enable to increase general reliability of composite materials testing by the pulsed impedance method.

Innovative Reflections on the Visual Language of Batik in the Bouyei Ethnic Group of Guizhou, China

“…They are generally limited to abstract geometric patterns, etc. (Su, 2020;Eremenko et al, 2020), mainly due to the local Bouyei living environment. This is mainly due to the living environment of the local Bouyei people.…”

Seismic Effects on the Stone Masonry of Rubik Church in Albania: Interaction Modeling of Different Masonry Panel Types

“…The earthquake that occurred on 26 November 2019 in Albania near the small town of Mamurras is the first documented seismic event to cause damage to a monastery. Structural damage is usually of two types: degradation/damage to materials and some minor structural damage (Eremenko et al, 2020). The condition of the church as it stands has now been documented by non-destructive testing and visual observation.…”

Method of Reference Signals Creating in Non-Destructive Testing Based on Low-Speed Impact

“…To determine the values of the corresponding coefficients, the decomposition characteristic of information signals describing the various defects of the samples under study, it is necessary to obtain a function that approximates the distribution of the values of each of the spectral decomposition coefficients depending on the degree of damage (defectiveness) of the sample under study [19]. Such a function can be determined by interpolating known values of decomposition coefficients, for example, by power polynomials or splines [5].…”
