Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigates a novel symbolic representation method based on Symbolic Aggregate Approximation (SAX) of time series that focuses on differential coil (D-coil) eddy current (EC) defect responses. The method uses the Sum of Gaussian (SoG) approximation of the defect response, Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering, and the extrema values in the approximation to provide a reduced representation that can effectively analyze possible fault conditions in the defect response. Comparisons to existing SAX methods are performed with the new method indicating significant classification accuracy improvement.
期刊介绍:
Research in Nondestructive Evaluation® is the archival research journal of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, Inc. RNDE® contains the results of original research in all areas of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The journal covers experimental and theoretical investigations dealing with the scientific and engineering bases of NDE, its measurement and methodology, and a wide range of applications to materials and structures that relate to the entire life cycle, from manufacture to use and retirement.
Illustrative topics include advances in the underlying science of acoustic, thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical and ionizing radiation techniques and their applications to NDE problems. These problems include the nondestructive characterization of a wide variety of material properties and their degradation in service, nonintrusive sensors for monitoring manufacturing and materials processes, new techniques and combinations of techniques for detecting and characterizing hidden discontinuities and distributed damage in materials, standardization concepts and quantitative approaches for advanced NDE techniques, and long-term continuous monitoring of structures and assemblies. Of particular interest is research which elucidates how to evaluate the effects of imperfect material condition, as quantified by nondestructive measurement, on the functional performance.
