Abstract

Compared with traditional diagnostic technologies such as vibration sensors and visual cameras, acoustic sensors have the advantages of remote and global sensing, rapid deployment, good real-time performance, and low cost. However, acoustic signals are easily disturbed by ambient noise and decay rapidly, which makes it difficult to analyze faults in practical applications, especially when the fault signal as a low signal-to-noise ratio. By designing a metamaterial structure with a high refractive index medium and reasonable geometric parameters, the wavelength of sound wave can be compressed to improve the sound pressure. Employing fan blade faults as an object, Hilbert envelope spectrum analysis was used to demodulate fault characteristic information. Experimental results show that the acoustic metamaterial structure can enhance the signal significantly, providing high signal-to-noise ratio envelope spectrum for diagnosing fan blade faults. The study has demonstrated this acoustic metamaterial structure is an effective way to improve the applicability of acoustic measurement for condition monitoring.
