Abstract:

Nonlinear Rayleigh waves are useful for material surface damage detection. Traditional non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques based on higher harmonics of Rayleigh waves are inevitably interfered with by the nonlinearity of measurement systems. To overcome this disadvantage, an approach based on one-way collinear mixing Rayleigh waves (MRWs) is proposed to evaluate the material surface properties. A wedge with two different incidence angles for the excitations of transverse and longitudinal waves is designed to generate one-way collinear MRWs. The one-way collinear MRWs can be generated on the whole surface of the material, and propagate along the propagation way under one excitation. Numerical simulations of one-way collinear MRWs under different surface properties, which are characterized using different third-order elastic constants, are studied on a semi-infinite aluminum. Experiments are also conducted on the aluminum specimen, whose surface is corroded by hydrochloric acid so as to change the material surface properties. Both numerical and experimental results show that the one-way collinear MRWs are generated effectively, and the defined relative acoustic nonlinearity parameter increases with the propagation distance as well as the severity of the material surface damages. The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed MRW-based method and prove that it would be a promising NDT technique for the accurate evaluation of material surface properties.
