Research on spatial localization method of composite damage under strong noise

In this paper, a damage spatial imaging approach based on novel signal extraction is suggested to reconstruct the Lamb wave response signal under strong noise and realize the spatial localization of damage. First, the Variable Mode Decomposition (VMD) parameters are optimized by the improved Grey Wolf optimization method (IGWO) to decompose the response signal. To rebuild the response signal, the correlation coefficient is used to choose the optimal modal component and the residual. To give the best wavelet function and transform level for adaptive denoising of the reconstructed signal without a reference signal, an enhanced Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) based on Shannon entropy is proposed. To achieve damage localization imaging, a damage spatial localization model is built utilizing a reconstruction algorithm for probabilistic inspection of damage (RAPID) approach and a convolutional neural network (CNN). The suggested method may successfully increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the reconstructed response signal and lower the error of spatial localization under strong noise through experiments. The spatial localization of composite damage using Lamb wave under strong noise is expanded in this paper.
