An AI based ultrasonic array inspection of surface breaking defects resided on corroded and uneven surfaces

该项目的目的是开发永久性安装的超声波阵列，用于现场监测储氢容器和管道的健康状况，特别是监测氢诱发缺陷的发生和发展，包括氢起泡、氢脆、氢诱发裂纹和氢应力裂纹。该项目将通过将已开发的低成本超声波阵列与逆建模方法相结合来解释历史存储的超声波阵列数据来实现。该项目将为结构完整性评估提供更准确的氢致缺陷信息，从而更准确地评估结构的健康状况，为结构的安全运行提供保障。该项目的成果将支持氢工程结构实现净零和能源可持续性的进展。

The aim of the project is to develop permanently installed ultrasonic arrays for in-situ monitor the health of hydrogen storage containers and pipelines, especially monitoring the initiation and development of hydrogen induced defects, including hydrogen blistering, hydrogen embrittlement, hydrogen-induced cracks and hydrogen stress cracks. The project will be achieved by integrating of the developed low cost ultrasonic arrays with the inverse modelling methods to interpret historical stored ultrasonic array data. This project will provide more accurate information about hydrogen induces defects for structural integrity assessment, enabling more accurate assessment of the health of structures and providing assurance of their safe operations. The project's outcome will support progress toward net zero and energy sustainability of hydrogen engineering structures.
