Abstract

Composite pressure vessels are seeing increasing demand in the oil and gas sector due to their excellent corrosion resistance. However, the assessment of the fatigue state of those structures still an open question. The goal of this work is use elastic wave data to access the fatigue damage (exudation). The Dynamic Time Warping method is proposed as a means of extracting features from guided wave ultrasound data that can describe the on-going fatigue induced damage of glass-fibre reinforced plastic pipes under fatigue-cycle loading. To test its efficiency, three pipe samples were fatigue tested to failure under internal pressure cycles with maximum values of 45 bar, 55 bar and 65 bar, and minimum pressures equal to 10% of the maximum, at a frequency of 0.8 Hz. A Guided Wave monitoring system consisting of a set of permanently attached piezoelectric sensors produced signals which were processed to obtain the Dynamic Time Warping distance, that was then used to obtain a Damage Index that expresses the cumulative fatigue damage suffered by the samples for each loading level. These results were comparable to data obtained from surface-mounted strain-gauges, even though temperature variations of up to 20 °C occurred during the tests and no direct temperature compensation was applied to the GW signals. The Dynamic Time Warping distance presents smaller influence of temperature and was able to better access the exudation of the samples.
