The construction of a deicing system with low power consumption, lightweight, and high reliability is the new requirement of deicing technology development. In this paper, a low-power deicing method based on the shear stress generated by Lamb waves excited by the piezoelectric patch is proposed. The ability of Lamb waves with different modes to produce interface shear stress under a given input power is studied. It is found that Lamb waves can produce large shear stress in the (0-0.5) MHz band of A0 mode and (1-1.5) MHz band of S0 mode. At the same time, the influence of piezoelectric patch thickness on the interface input shear stress is analyzed by simulation. It is found that the interface input shear stress decreases monotonically with the increase of piezoelectric patch thickness. Finally, the optimal Lamb wave mode and the size of the piezoelectric patch are determined.","PeriodicalId":302672,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Far East NDT New Technology & Application Forum (FENDT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133653440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an investigation with fast Fourier transform (FFT) combined with phase spectrum difference (PSD) for detecting near-surface defects in metal materials. Firstly, the phase spectrum of defect signal and free-defect signal are obtained by FFT, and the PSD between them is calculated. The FFT is utilized again to acquire the main frequency and corresponding period of PSD. Then, the offset time is proposed to represent the location of the near-surface defects. The theoretical correctness of the proposed method is validated by the ultrasonic simulation signals of single defect, multi-defects and noise interference in the near-surface blind zone. Finally, the water immersion ultrasonic testing experiment is carried out to detect the near-surface artificial defects of test specimens from a large ring forging. The experimental result revealed that the calculation of near-surface defects depth by offset time has high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":302672,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Far East NDT New Technology & Application Forum (FENDT)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124445324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
