Abstract
In this study, the digital image correlation technique is used to determine the inconsistent mechanical properties and microstructure non-uniformity in different regions of aluminum alloy butt welded joints. A state monitoring method is proposed based on phased-array ultrasonic total focus imaging for crack evolution. A series of surface fatigue crack propagation tests on full-scale aluminum alloy butt welds are investigated, which innovatively revealed the mechanism and evolution law of crack propagation at the surface of the weld. The analytical function for dynamic crack propagation in welded structures is proposed, which provides a new idea and data support for clarifying the state deterioration process of structures. The results show that the traction structural stress can effectively identify the critical fatigue position of the weld and effectively account for the effect of angular misalignment. The phased-array ultrasonic total-focus imaging monitoring analysis method for surface fatigue crack propagation is proposed to improve the completeness of the fatigue crack evolution law.
