Abstract

See full text

The present invention discloses a piezoelectric patch-based real-time and high-precision bolt preload detection method and system. A piezoelectric patch is used as an ultrasonic excitation source and pasted on the head of a bolt, and the high-precision fitting relationship between the ultrasonic change of time-of-flight and the bolt preload is established according to the law of the ultrasonic change of time-of-flight of single echo with the stress so that the real-time detection of the bolt preload is realized by using the mathematical relationship. Compared with the previous method using ultrasonic probes, the present invention eliminates the error caused by the uncertainty of couplant thickness and further improves the measurement precision by using the change of time-of-flight of single echo. Meanwhile, the low-error rate measurement of the bolt preload is realized at a low cost and without affecting the structural performance.
