Abstract:

Spatial spectrum estimation in array signal processing could be used to identify and locate the signal source, so the structural damage is detected by the Lamb wave received from sensor array on structure in this paper. Generally, most of spatial spectrum estimation research are under the narrow band signal assumption, meanwhile, Lamb wave propagation in most research is considered as a kind of narrow band signal in order to reduce the wave dispersion effects. However, Lamb wave signal should be modulated as a kind of wideband signal because of unrealizable infinite narrow signal excitation. Thus, incoherent signal subspace method (ISM) is applied in array Lamb wave wideband signal processing so as to locate single structural damage in this paper. Then, coherent signal subspace method (CSM) is used when two damages occur since the damage reflected signals are coherent. The damage detection results show excellent accuracy.

Key words: array signal processing, special spectrum estimation, wideband Lamb wave, ISM, CSM, structural damage detection
