Abstrait:

The vast majority of existing work on acoustic emission–based structural health monitoring is for geometrically simple structures with uninterrupted propagation path and constant wave speed. Realistic systems such as a full-scale fuselage, however, are built from interconnected pieces of acoustically mismatched parts such as sandwich core panels, stringer stiffened skin, and fastener holes. The geometric complexity and dynamic operating environment of realistic systems mean that the acoustic emission wave undergoes multiple reflections, refractions, and mode changes resulting in overlapped transducer outputs with no clear beginning and end. The objective of this paper is to outline the fundamental limitations of acoustic emission as applied to complex systems and present a new distributed data-centric acoustic emission sensing network for durability health monitoring and damage tolerance applications in large and complex systems. The study considers the case of a full-scale composite rotorcraft fuselage to introduce several new concepts on acoustic emission data acquisition time control for alleviating effects of wave distortion as well as methods for improving event location analysis in large quasi-isotropic materials. Methods for adaptive front-end signal processing and data volume control are presented. Despite the size and complexity of realistic full-scale systems and the acoustic emission data, we show that it is possible to locate damage with acceptable accuracy.
