Guided Wave Ultrasonic
Guided Wave (ultrasonic) Testing (GWT) is a new
method of non-destructive evaluation usually for
structural health monitoring (SHM).
GWT system discharges wave and records the
reflected wave that guided by the structures
boundaries.

Being popular in pipeline monitoring, GWT have
some advantages:
1. Non-destructive
2. Long distance coverage (up to 60 m)
3. Performed well on high temperature (up to
120˚C)
4. Not only detecting the structural damage,
but also can localize defects such as:
corrosion, erosion, bitumen lining, etc

SVD to separate temperature fluctuation
Liu, C, et. al. (2014)
Ultrasonic wave is vulnerable to change in There are 6 signals
environmental and operational conditions (EOC), Grey signals = pipe & mass scatterer
mostly caused by temperature fluctuation. Black signals = intact pipe

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is applied to

the received signal, to separate the change
between: damage & EOC, without prior
U (variation between records)
knowledge of EOC variations. It’s ROBUST!
2nd vector = step change due to mass scatterer
1st vector = steady signal component

S (significance)
The data matrix Only 2 non-zero values = only 2 meaningful
X can be U (left singular vectors)
represents variation vectors that well-represent the whole data
written as the
collection of N between records.
records of S is the diagonal singular
length D value matrix with
denoted by row diagonal terms.
vectors xi. V (right singular vectors)
represents variation
within each record.
V (variation within each record), the comparison is very clear
1st = baseline signal; 2nd = scattering signal

Experiment result
SVD method exhibits very clear separation. ROBUST!
11nd U vector has highest η = strongly
corresponds to the mass toggling line

There are 2 EOC varations: temperature & pressure

There are 2 conventional methods:

Normal line uses crosscorellation = does not Damage sensitive score
follow the mass toggling line. NOT ROBUST!
Temperature compensated line uses “stretch
effect” methods = does not follow the mass
toggling line. STILL NOT ROBUST! Modified T-value vector
