Popis: The structure health monitoring (SHM) system with Lamb waves technique is studied numerically and experimentally in this paper. A damage shape recognition algorithm (DSRA) is developed for the hole on aluminum alloy plate specimen. The proposed DSRA is established based on the two arrival time difference method (2/ATDM) and Lagrangian optimization method. This method captures the damage shape by describing the coordinates of the reflection point from the piezoelectric ceramic lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers to the damage edge. 2/ATDM provides a way to obtain coordinate points by the arrival time which is determined by Lamb waves. And the coordinate points are optimized by the Lagrangian optimization method. A numerical model is established to simulate the proposed experiment process. Its convergence rate of mesh size and time steps is investigated, and the numerical results are verified by these of experiment. Hence, the shape recognition of damage occurring at an arbitrary position and that of irregular damage are studied by the proposed numerical and experiment methods.
