Abstract
Impact monitoring of plate structures has always been a hot spot in structural health monitoring research. In order to improve the accuracy of impact monitoring, this paper proposes a beam-focusing impact localization algorithm based on passive tomography using a sensor arrangement method in a ring array. The impact damage monitoring of large-sized structures in different directions is performed by each linear array of the ring array and the impact damage localization distribution maps of the corresponding linear arrays are generated. The localization accuracy of the linear arrays in different directions is obtained experimentally to assign the weights of each linear array to achieve image reconstruction of the impact damage. The experimental results show that the method can achieve a more accurate visualization of the impact location, and the reconstructed impact laminar image can well reflect the impact location distribution information. It can be used for the localization of impact damage and extended monitoring.
