Electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is a nondestructive testing technology widely used in health monitoring. However, it is difficult to evaluate the depth of defects accurately with consideration of the ambiguous relationship between the cracks and feature values. Therefore, an accurate evaluation method for the depth of surface cracks needs to be established. In this paper, a fusion characterization method based on fuzzy relationship matrices is proposed. Firstly, the different depth estimated values of the surface crack are obtained based on the relationship modals between the crack depth and multiple different feature values. Secondly, a difference matrix is established that can describe the difference in accuracy between different depth estimated values, and a relationship matrix is constructed based on the triangular fuzzy number method for evaluating the quantization accuracy. Thirdly, the weights of different estimated values in the fusion quantification were determined, and the final defect depth was obtained. Finally, we applied our approach to experimental data and its maximum quantization relative error was 5.9%, which demonstrates its capability to characterize surface cracks compared with other methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":764,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing","volume":"61 1","pages":"S19 - S36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147588578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An integrated experimental framework combining hydrostatic pressure testing and ultrasonic detection was developed to replicate in-service damage evolution. Online monitoring captured continuous nonlinear ultrasonic responses during accelerated damage, while offline measurements provided discrete validation points across progressive damage stages. The methodology employs pulse-echo methods with third-harmonic analysis to quantify acoustic nonlinearity parameters at critical deformation sites. Results demonstrate that nonlinear ultrasonic parameters exhibit sensitivity to microstructural degradation during plastic deformation. A characteristic peak phenomenon consistently emerges in the nonlinearity evolution curve at a critical damage threshold, serving as a reliable precursor to failure. Offline measurements using pulse-echo and V-scan methods corroborate online findings, confirming measurement reproducibility. Furthermore, impact strength testing establishes a correlation between acoustic nonlinearity parameters and material degradation. This work establishes nonlinear ultrasonics as a viable methodology for real-time structural health monitoring of PE pipes. The nonlinear ultrasonic technology bridges microscopic damage progression with macroscopic mechanical behavior, enabling early detection of ductile damage before macroscopic failure occurs.

This paper focuses on the key issues in reconstructing the shape of branched cracks and uses simulation and experimental methods to study the magnetic field distribution of these cracks. The magnetic field image generated by the crack is analyzed using image processing techniques, and the feature points of the image are extracted. The method of graph theory is introduced to research the reconstruction rules of branched cracks, and the method of automatic reconstruction for the surface shape of cracks is further studied. Additionally, this method is robust and achieves satisfactory reconstruction results even when missing data leads to low-resolution images. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve shape reconstruction of branched cracks with an error of 0.3–7.3% in branch crack length and 1.8–7.4% in branch crack angle.

Nevertheless, during the process of long-term service, crack damage is inevitable. In response to this problem, this article presents a crack damage imaging and localization method based on Lamb waves. This method, by analyzing the propagation characteristics of Lamb waves before and after damage, proposes a novel damage indicator—the crack damage factor (CDF)—for the visual visualization characterization of cracks. The research approach was validated through experiments. Initially, a sensor array was configured to form a relatively dense detection network, and then the guided wave signals of the stiffened plate both before and after damage were acquired, the CDF was computed. Subsequently, the initial imaging of the damaged area was accomplished by the reconstruction algorithm for probabilistic inspection of damage (RAPID). On this foundation, to rectify the CDF of the crack parallel path, a method of grouping refinement was put forward. Finally, the corrected CDF and the CDF values of other paths were utilized in RAPID to realize the imaging and localization of the crack damage. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that this approach visualizes and localizes the cracks in stiffened plates accurately and efficiently, validating its feasibility and efficacy in practical applications.
