Precise identification of ultra-early-stage (UES) anchoring quality is crucial to ensure the integrity of the secondary lining. To address grout defects in the UES of anchors, a calculation method for UES anchor wave velocity was introduced. Indoor experiments and numerical simulations were conducted for non-destructive testing (NDT) of anchors in the UES, analyzing time-domain waveform characteristics and wave velocity variations. A method for identifying grout defects in the UES of anchors was proposed. The results indicate that the proposed wave velocity calculation method offers a more precise estimation of UES wave velocity for anchors compared to the traditional approach. This enhancement enables a more precise evaluation of the development of solid phases in the anchoring medium. As the solid phase develops, the wave velocity and first wave amplitude of the anchor gradually decline, while the response time of the bottom reflection increases. Grout defects lead to amplified amplitudes in both time-domain and frequency-domain signals, accompanied by a heightened occurrence of peaks in the frequency domain. The waveform distortion region before the bottom reflection is caused by grout defects. In the time-domain signals of defective anchors, a waveform distortion region is observed before the bottom reflection. By assessing the magnitude of the absolute value of the ratio between the amplitude of characteristic reflection points within the distortion region and the amplitude of the first wave, effective identification of grout defects in the UES of anchors can be accomplished.</p>","PeriodicalId":764,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139926390","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}

However, defects such as cracks in the matrix, separation of layers, and separation from bonding can occur during manufacturing and low-velocity impacts, often remaining undetected. As these defects worsen over time, they can significantly weaken the material. To reduce the risk of major failures, regular assessments of carbon fiber reinforced plastic structures are crucial. This study introduces a structural health monitoring technique that minimizes human involvement while effectively tracking the growth of damage in carbon fiber reinforced plastic structures. The approach employs the acoustic emission method and the hilbert transform technique to identify and quantify the progression of damage in carbon fiber reinforced plastic materials. Experimental outcomes from a fatigue test conducted on cross-ply laminates are presented. To precisely predict damage and evaluate the condition of the composite specimen, researchers use the bidirectional long short-term memory model alongside envelope analysis for forecasting. The suggested method achieves a root mean square error of less than 0.03, proving its capability to precisely predict damage and evaluate the condition of the Composite structure.
