Abstract
A stiffener attached to a cylindrical shell strongly interferes with the propagation of the acoustic emission (AE) signal from the fault source and reduces the fault detection accuracy. The interaction of AE signals with the stiffener on the cylindrical shell is thoroughly investigated in this paper. Based on the proposed model of the AE signal propagating inside the cylindrical shell with a stiffener, the installation constraints for the sensor are derived, resulting in the separation of the direct signal, the stiffener scattering signal, and other signals in the time domain. On this basis, combinations of the excitation frequency and the stiffener height are simulated, and the reflection and transmission of the AE signal in each case are quantitatively characterized by the scattering coefficients. The results indicate that there is a “T-shaped” transformation of the signal at the stiffener, which evolves into a variety of other modes. Moreover, the reflection and transmission coefficients of the incident AE signal are displayed as a function of the excitation frequency and the height of the stiffener. In addition, the accuracy of the scattering coefficients obtained from the numerical simulations is verified by experiments, and a good consistency between simulation results and experiment results is presented. This work illustrates the propagation characteristics of AE signals in a cylindrical shell with a stiffener, which can be used as guidance for optimizing the spatial arrangement of sensors in AE monitoring.
