A strain measurement method using the strain measurement system comprises the following steps:
step (1), a single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna strain sensor 6 is pasted on the surface of a component to be tested 7, and only one single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna strain sensor 6 is selected for verification in the embodiment, as shown in fig. 12; in the actual test, a plurality of strain sensors can be arranged to be attached to the component 7 to be tested as required, as shown in fig. 4;
step (2), the first horn antenna 8 is excited through the radar system 10, so that the first horn antenna 8 emits incident waves to the second horn antenna 9, the second horn antenna 9 receives the incident waves to generate reflected waves, the first horn antenna 8 receives the reflected waves and transmits the reflected waves to the radar system 10, the radar system 10 receives the reflected waves to process the signals, an antenna admittance curve graph is deduced, and an admittance curve Y in the graph is obtained11To infer thatWhether the variation occurs in the x-or Y-direction, if Y of the admittance curve11The shift of the TM01 peak can be inferred as the strain in the x-direction, if the Y of the admittance curve is shifted11The shift of the TM10 peak can be used to infer that the strain is generated in the y direction;
the x and y directions in which strain occurs are related to the position of the strain sensor as already noted in fig. 2 and 4.
And (3) taking a minimum value point of an antenna admittance curve Y11 in the antenna admittance curve graph as a strain measurement index Ys (the minimum value point is the minimum value point between two peaks) of the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna after deformation along the directions of the x axis and the Y axis.
Under the strain-free condition (namely, the strain is 0 mu epsilon), the strain sensor obtains an admittance curve Y11-0, a reference value Ys0 of a strain measurement index obtained from the curve Y11-0 is 0.01668S (the value is a minimum value point between two peaks of a Y11-0 curve), and the system stores the value of the reference value Ys0 so as to directly call the reference value in subsequent measurement. When the strain sensor is subjected to the strain with the x direction of 453.1 mu epsilon, the system performs signal processing to obtain an admittance curve Y11-1, and a strain measurement index Ys1 in the curve Y11-1 is 0.01745S; when the strain sensor is subjected to strain with the x direction of 902.0 mu epsilon, the system performs signal processing to obtain an admittance curve Y11-2, and a strain measurement index Ys2 in the curve Y11-2 is 0.01832S; when the strain sensor is subjected to the strain with the x direction of 1342.0 mu epsilon, the system carries out signal processing to obtain an admittance curve Y11-3, and the strain measurement index Ys3 in the curve Y11-3 is 0.01917S. Four admittance curves Y11-0, Y11-1, Y11-2, Y11-3 corresponding to four strain levels of 0 μ ∈, 453.1 μ ∈, 902.0 μ ∈, 1342.0 μ ∈ are plotted in the same graph, as shown in fig. 6.

a takes 1, 2 and 3, and the same method is continued to give the X directionThe strain measurement indexes of 5 groups of strains can be more, and the strain measurement indexes are standardized, so that a series of standardized admittance minimum values are obtained, the standardized admittance minimum values and the strains are subjected to data fitting to obtain a fitting curve as shown in fig. 7, then the data fitting is carried out to obtain that the strain sensitivity (namely the slope of a connecting line in fig. 7) in the x direction is 116.2 ppm/mu epsilon, the fitting goodness of the fitting curve is 0.9934, and the standard deviation is 42.39 mu epsilon, and the strain sensitivity of 1 ppm/mu epsilon can only be obtained by adopting a method of taking the resonance frequency as the strain index in the prior antenna strain sensor technology. Therefore, the sensitivity of the antenna strain sensor provided by the invention is far higher than that of the prior art which adopts resonant frequency for testing.
It can also be seen from the admittance plot of fig. 6 that as the strain increases in the x-direction, the TM01 peak of the admittance curve shifts to the left with respect to the unstrained state, and the greater the strain, the more pronounced the shift to the left.
In order to eliminate the interference of the test environment and the manufacturing process difference of different strain gauges, the measurement index of the strain sensor under the non-strain condition needs to be calibrated again every time a test is carried out, wherein the strain sensor obtains an admittance curve Y11-0 under the non-strain condition (namely, the strain is 0 mu epsilon), a reference value Ys0 of the strain measurement index obtained from the curve Y11-0 is 0.01668S (the value is the minimum value point between two peaks of the Y11-0 curve), and the system stores the value of the reference value Ys0 so as to directly call the reference value in the subsequent measurement. When the strain sensor is subjected to strain with the Y direction of 453.1 mu epsilon, the system performs signal processing to obtain an admittance curve Y11-4, and a strain measurement index Ys4 in the curve Y11-4 is 0.01589S; when the strain sensor is subjected to strain with the Y direction of 902.0 mu epsilon, the system performs signal processing to obtain an admittance curve Y11-5, and a strain measurement index Ys5 in the curve Y11-5 is 0.01519S; when the strain sensor experiences the strain with the Y direction of 1342.0 mu epsilon, the system carries out signal processing to obtain an admittance curve Y11-6, and the strain measurement index Ys6 from the curve Y11-6 is 0.01455S. Four admittance curves Y11-0, Y11-4, Y11-5, Y11-6 corresponding to four strain levels of 0, 453.1, 902.0, 1342.0 μ ∈ are plotted in the same graph, as shown in fig. 8. And 453.1. 902.0, 1342.0 mu epsilon strain measurement indexes Ys4, Ys5 and Ys6 under three strain grades are standardized, namely
a takes 4, 5 and 6, 5 groups of strain in the y direction are continuously provided by the same method, or more strain measurement indexes are taken and standardized, so that a series of standardized admittance minimum values are obtained, data fitting is carried out on the standardized admittance minimum values and the strain to obtain a fitting curve as shown in figure 9, then data fitting is carried out to obtain the strain sensitivity in the y direction of-92.06 ppm/mu epsilon, the fitting goodness of the fitting curve is 0.9975, the standard deviation is 29.62 mu epsilon, and the method adopting the resonance frequency as the strain index in the prior antenna strain sensor technology can only obtain the strain sensitivity of 1 ppm/mu epsilon. The sensitivity of the antenna strain sensor provided by the invention is far higher than that of the antenna strain sensor adopting resonant frequency for testing in the prior art.
It can also be seen from the admittance plot of fig. 8 that as the strain increases in the y-direction, the TM10 peak of the admittance curve shifts to the left with respect to the unstrained state, and the greater the strain, the more pronounced the shift to the left.
The admittance of the strain sensor of the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna is related to the strain experienced by the strain sensor, the admittance curve of the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna is a double-peak curve, and a relational expression of the strain and the minimum value point of the sensor admittance is constructed:
wherein: ε is the strain; y iss0The strain measurement index is the strain measurement index when the strain sensor does not experience strain; y issStrain measurement indexes of the strain sensor of the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna after strain; k is strain sensitivity; b is a coefficient; the sensitivity k and the coefficient b in the formula 2 have different values of strain in the x direction and strain in the y direction.
When the strain sensor experiences strain in the x direction, k is 116.2 ppm/. mu.epsilon.and b is-6677 ppm (as can be obtained from FIG. 7), the specific expression of the relationship between the strain in the x direction and the minimum point of the sensor admittance is as follows:
when the strain sensor experiences y-direction strain, k is-92.06 ppm/. mu.epsilon.and b is-3937 ppm (as can be seen from FIG. 9), the specific expression for the relationship between the y-direction strain and the minimum point of the sensor admittance is as follows:
step (4), strain measurement index Y of the strain sensor in the antenna admittance curve chart after strainsSubstituting the value into a formula (3) or (4) to obtain the strain epsilon, and selecting the formula to carry in after judging whether the strain is in the x direction or the y direction according to the deviation rule of the admittance curve.
In the embodiment, a strain 1126.8 mu epsilon in the x direction is applied to the strain sensor of the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna to verify the effectiveness of the system, and the strain measurement index Ys7 obtained after the system is subjected to signal processing is 0.01875S. Firstly, according to the admittance chart (fig. 10), the TM01 peak can be seen to shift to the left relative to the unstrained state, and the strain can be judged to occur in the x direction; then, substituting Ys7 into equation (3) calculates the strain magnitude to be 1125.45. mu. epsilon. Therefore, after the admittance curve chart is judged and the system is applied to test and calculation, the difference between the input strain and the input strain is 1.35 mu epsilon, the allowable range is obtained, the direction judgment is correct, and the test accuracy of the system is high.
In the embodiment, a strain 1126.8 mu epsilon in the y direction is applied to the strain sensor of the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna to verify the effectiveness of the system, and the strain measurement index Ys8 obtained after the system is subjected to signal processing is 0.01487S. Firstly, according to the obvious leftward shift of the peak of an admittance curve chart TM10 relative to an admittance curve without strain, judging that the strain occurs in the y direction; then, substituting Ys8 into equation (4) calculates the strain magnitude to be 1135.96. mu. epsilon. Therefore, after the system is judged through the admittance curve chart and is used for testing and calculating, the difference between the input strain and the input strain is 9.16 mu epsilon, the allowable range is obtained, the direction judgment is correct, and the testing accuracy of the system is high.
The single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna strain sensor capable of generating the degenerate orthogonal mode is adopted, so that two-dimensional strain measurement of the component in the x and y directions is realized, and compared with a mode of utilizing an antenna array in the prior art, the two-dimensional strain sensor has smaller volume and is more convenient to apply practically; the first horn antenna is excited by the radar system, the first horn antenna emits incident waves to the second horn antenna, the second horn antenna receives the incident waves and generates reflected waves, the radar system receives the reflected waves and performs signal processing on the reflected waves, wireless measurement of component strain is achieved, a large amount of wiring is not needed, and compared with the prior art, the wireless measurement device has the advantages that the flexibility is higher in practical application, and the structure is simpler; the invention utilizes the characteristic that the admittance of the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna changes correspondingly when the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna is subjected to strain to establish the relationship between the strain and the admittance of the single-feed degenerate orthogonal mode patch antenna and measure the strain.
