Abstract

To intelligently and quickly verify the depths and angles of oblique surface cracks using the laser ultrasound technique, a crack geometry information evaluation method using a support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. The relationships between several parameters—which are based on transmitted waves and reflected waves containing crack geometry information in the time domain, frequency domain and time–frequency domain, and crack size—are presented in detail. To decide which feature parameters are involved in the SVM model, two selection standards are proposed according to the correlations between feature parameters and crack size and between the feature parameters themselves. Finally, a seven-feature-parameter SVM model which has an excellent ability to classify oblique crack depths and angles is built. The results of simulations using the finite element method (FEM) and experimental data show that seven parameters based on the SVM model are available for the oblique surface crack depth and angle evaluation and can be used to nondestructively detect natural cracks.
