Abstract
In order to solve the problem that crack monitoring technology of PVD thin film sensor requires high synchronous fracture performance with the substrate structure, this paper changed the driving mode of PVD thin film sensor and adopted alternating current (AC), which effectively overcome the influence of this problem on crack monitoring. Firstly, the ring PVD film sensor is designed and manufactured for the edge of the bolt hole. The sensor is composed of driving film and induction film. Then, the sensor is encapsulated and insulated. Finally, the on-line fatigue crack monitoring experiment is carried out. The experimental results show that the amplitude of the output signal of the sensor starts to rise slowly with the crack growth. When the crack just passes through the induction film, the output signal of the sensor changes sharply. Therefore, the sensor can effectively monitor the crack initiation and propagation, and locate the crack tip according to the sharp change point of the output signal. The research results provide a sensor choice for the application of PVD thin film sensor in metal structural health monitoring technology.
