A novel physics-based temperature compensation model for structural health monitoring using ultrasonic guided waves
Abstract
This article investigates the role of ambient temperature in causing changes to the structural wave propagation, as sensed by piezoelectric transducers, in a newer perspective. A novel approach is proposed to compensate the influence of temperature on piezo-sensor response using both analytical models and numerical simulations. Parametric studies using numerical simulations for plates with surface-mounted piezoelectric transducers establish linear functional relationship between change in sensor signals and specific combination of material properties, within certain temperature range. A numerical temperature compensation model is developed based on this functional relationship to reconstruct piezo-sensor signals at elevated temperatures. Matching pursuit–based signal analysis and reconstruction schemes are used in this study. Practical efficacy of the compensation model is tested for metallic structures with both simple and complex geometries. Model-based reconstruction of first wave packets in the sensor signals is found to match quite well with the experimental measurements. Performance of the proposed compensation model is also found to be at par with the existing state-of-art temperature compensation methods. A very limited set of baseline sensor data is required to estimate unknown model parameters, making this approach to be efficient and practically useful. The output of the compensation model is also used to obtain an accurate estimate of damage location in a structure under varying ambient temperature environments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
