Damage Detection Using Cointegration Technique and Wavelet Analysis of the Post-Cointegrated Lamb Waves

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an application of Lamb-wave-based damage detection under varying temperature conditions. The method used is based on the cointegration technique and wavelet analysis that are partially built on the analysis of non-stationary behaviour and multi-resolution decomposition of time series, respectively. Instead of directly using Lamb wave data for damage detection, two approaches are used: (1) analysis of cointegrating residuals obtained from the cointegration process of Lamb wave responses and (2) analysis of stationary characteristics of the multi-level wavelet decomposed cointegrating residuals. These two approaches are tested on undamaged and damaged aluminium plates exposed to temperature variations. The experimental results show that the method can isolate damage-sensitive features from the temperature effect and reliably detect damage.
