Defect detection of pipes using Lyapunov dimension of Duffing oscillator based on ultrasonic guided waves

This study proposes a novel small defect detection approach for steel pipes using the Lyapunov dimension (D) of the Duffing chaotic system based on ultrasonic guided waves. In this paper, inspection model is constructed by inputting the measured guided wave signal into the Duffing equation as the external turbulent driving force term and thenDis calculated. The properties of the Duffing system's noise immunity are first demonstrated...
