As a result, baseline-free damage imaging using conventional algorithms experiences significant difficulties. This paper proposes a baseline-free damage imaging methodology for SHM applications, introducing a novel damage index calculation formula. The methodology is a modified Reconstruction Algorithm for Probabilistic Inspection of Defects (RAPID) that incorporates an innovative damage index formula based on K-means clustering. This unsupervised approach assigns scores by identifying patterns or anomalies in the data through clustering similar behaviors. Additionally, scaling factors for different transmitter–receiver pairs are modified, considering the first Fresnel zone to enhance accuracy. In this work, multiple features are extracted from the recorded signals across various domains and ranked based on their locality-preserving ability. The top-ranked features are then utilized in K-means clustering to calculate the damage index score. The study employs parallel arrays of piezoelectric transducers on both sides of an anisotropic CFRP adhesive joint with two different sizes of artificial disbonds.

In the proposed method, the time-evolving pressure in the near field is first modeled via the summation of time convolution relating the time-wavenumber pressure spectra of virtual source plane to time-domain propagation kernel. Then, eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) is employed for gaining a minimal state-space realization in a system, which facilitates the formulas of process and measurement in conjunction with first-order smoothness condition. Subsequently, the simultaneous estimation model of dynamic states and time-evolving measurement noise parameter in a linear system is established, in which a separable variational Bayesian approximation of the joint posterior distribution of states and noise parameter is constructed. Besides, the state vector and time-wavenumber pressure spectra are jointly estimated through a forward iteration using the augmented Kalman filter, and the time-evolving noise parameter is determined via a fixed-point iteration. Finally, the estimated time-wavenumber pressure spectra on the virtual source plane are utilized to calculate the time-evolving pressure on the reconstruction plane by a time convolution.

To address this challenge, we developed a robotic arm-assisted ultrasonic phased array automated detection platform, enabling the acquisition of defect tomography images. Furthermore, we proposed a novel internal defect type identification model for welds (3DWDC-Net) that meets both classification accuracy and efficiency requirements. 3DWDC-Net offers two significant contributions to the field. Firstly, ultrasonic tomography images were used for the first time to solve the problem of classifying internal defects in welds. This pioneering approach increase the possibility of applying intelligent classification methods to industrial on-site judgment of weld defect types. Secondly, in order to compensate for the accuracy loss resulting from the lightweight design, we propose a novel attention module. This module is meticulously designed with the characteristics of lightweight structures in mind and effectively collaborates with them, thereby enhancing the model’s recognition accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that 3DWDC-Net achieves a recognition accuracy of 99.3%, surpassing state-of-the-art traditional classifier recognition methods, advanced deep learning approaches, and conventional 3D convolutional neural network techniques.

Conversely, when the secondary path exhibits nonlinear phase characteristics, only a selective subset of the narrowband components undergoes the secondary path estimation filtering process. This approach notably curtails computational complexity, particularly in environments featuring multiple frequency noise components.
