Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a nondestructive testing equipment for automatic rivet center positioning and rivet defect inspection,

The present invention relates to a nondestructive inspection apparatus for automatically detecting a center position of an rivet of an aircraft and a defect of a rivet, and particularly relates to a structure of a long-term operational aircraft, in particular, a center position of a rivet used for fastening a skeleton of an aircraft To a nondestructive inspection apparatus for automatically detecting a center position of an rivet and an rivet of an aircraft for automatically detecting a defect of a rivet existing at an estimated position.

A multi-layered structure is utilized to cover and secure the aluminum alloy sheet (skins) to the aircraft fuselage.

The rivet fastening part of the multi-layered structure is a part where stress is concentrated, and it becomes a starting point of corrosion defect and fatigue crack due to permeation of salt and water in the atmosphere together with repetitive load change over a long period such as aircraft takeoff and landing.

However, in a multilayered structure, corrosion defects are easily generated on the back surface, and in the case of fatigue cracks, it is difficult to detect them with the naked eye.

Therefore, there is a continuing need for a new concept of NDT for detection, position estimation and quantitative evaluation of backside corrosion and fatigue cracks around rivet joints.

NDT is an efficient way to inspect damage without damaging the object being inspected.

Of the various non-destructive testing methods, eddy current testing (ECT) has been used as a basic technology in the aerospace field, and ECT has the principle of using eddy current flow penetrating the subject.

That is, damage or defects that are hidden or behind can be detected by measuring the distortion of the eddy current through the sensor.

On the other hand, a conventional ECT system using a coil has high reliability and good inspection performance.

However, since damage to multiple structures is generally located around the rivet joint, there is a great difficulty in analyzing the vicinity of the joint.

That is, when measuring a signal corresponding to a damage, the ECT system measures the signal of the rivet fastening portion, which is much higher than the damage signal, and as a result, it is very difficult to evaluate the damage.

Particularly, fatigue cracks and corrosion defects of the rivet itself are not easy to inspect by the conventional eddy current because the damage or defect signal around the rivet hole and the rivet joint is relatively large.

Therefore, a method of inserting ultrasonic waves into the rivet and analyzing and examining the acoustic waves reflected from the damage or defects of the rivet is utilized.

However, ultrasonic inspection of thousands of rivets by one person lowers the working efficiency, and it is possible to obtain desirable experimental results only when the ultrasonic sensor is precisely positioned at the center of the rivet, do.

In addition, when the head portion of the rivet is hidden by the paint, it is difficult to find the position of the rivet, and it is also difficult to derive the correct ultrasonic inspection result.

Therefore, it is inevitable to develop an efficient equipment or algorithm for detecting damage or defects present in the rivet portion of the aircraft structure.
