  • 层状混凝土结构因功能分区明确和施工便捷等优势被广泛应用于基础设施中。然而,此类结构在服役过程中常因复杂环境的影响,产生脱层缺陷,严重影响结构安全。本文针对脱层缺陷检测中存在的定位不准确和成像质量差等问题,提出一种基于统计特征均方根(statistical-feature root-mean-square,SRMS)的超声成像方法。该方法首先采用均方根声速模型计算出声波在层状结构中传播的等效声速,从而提高缺陷定位精度。然后,利用缺陷区域信号强度高和稳定性好的特点,构建信号均值标准差因子,从而提高成像质量。最后,通过无砟轨道脱层缺陷仿真与实验验证了该方法的准确性,研究结果表明:SRMS方法在脱层缺陷的长度、定位精度、纵向主瓣展宽压缩能力上,较DAS方法均有较大提升。在成像质量方面,SRMS方法的CR、CNR、pSNR较DAS方法分别提升29%、18%、164%。因此,本文提出的SRMS方法不仅提高了层状混凝土结构中脱层缺陷的检测精度,还显著提升了成像质量。

     

    Concrete is widely utilized in engineering due to its stability, durability, and moldability. Among various forms, layered concrete structures are extensively employed in critical infrastructure owing to their clear functional zoning and construction convenience. However, such structures are often susceptible to delamination defects during service under external loads and complex environmental conditions, significantly compromising structural safety and durability. To address the issues of inaccurate localization and poor imaging quality in existing ultrasonic imaging of delamination defects, this paper proposes an ultrasonic imaging method based on statistical-feature root-mean-square (SRMS). This method integrates an adaptive statistical weighting mechanism, optimizing the focusing quality of ultrasonic images and the representation of defect echoes from the dual dimensions of propagation time-delay and channel weighting. It not only employs a root-mean-square (RMS) velocity model to calculate the equivalent acoustic velocity to improve localization accuracy, but also quantifies the coherent stability of local signals, thereby effectively suppressing lateral and axial energy divergence in the target region. Simulations and experimental validations on delamination defects in ballastless tracks demonstrate that the SRMS method achieves detection errors as low as 6.0 mm and 0.5 mm in lateral dimension and longitudinal localization, respectively. Compared with the traditional delay-and-sum (DAS) and RMS methods, the lateral detection errors are reduced by 129.5 mm and 93.5 mm, while the longitudinal localization errors are reduced by 2.0 mm and 7.5 mm. Furthermore, this method effectively compresses the longitudinal main-lobe width to 37.5 mm, achieving reductions of 17.5 mm and 16.5 mm compared to the DAS and RMS methods, respectively. In terms of imaging quality, because defect echoes are significantly enhanced and background noise is effectively attenuated during the superposition process, the contrast ratio (CR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and peak signal-to-noise ratio (pSNR) of the SRMS method reach 17.75 dB, 15.95 dB, and 56.23 dB, respectively. These metrics represent enhancements of 29%, 18%, and 164% over the DAS method, and 25%, 15%, and 173% over the RMS method. The proposed SRMS method not only improves the detection accuracy of delamination defects in layered concrete structures but also enhances imaging quality in complex environments.
