ABSTRACT
The application of shear horizontal (SH) guided wave transducers in high-temperature structural health monitoring (SHM) is a topic of significant interest across various industrial engineering sectors. In this study, we utilized the novelty piezoelectric crystal of near stoichiometric lithium niobate (NSLN), which exhibited a robust piezoelectric response (d15 = 77.6 pC/N@room temperature). Next, the pure thickness shear vibration mode d15' through size optimization was designed. It was demonstrated that the NSLN-based ultrasonic guided wave transducers utilizing the optimum d15' mode were proficient in transmitting and receiving pure fundamental SH wave (SH0 wave) along two orthogonal main directions (0° and 90°) over a wide frequency range (100-350 kHz), exhibiting strong response to the SH0 wave. Under the driving voltage of 100 V, the signal voltages of the NSLN-based transducer were found to be on the order of 200.3 and 11.8 mV at room temperature and high temperature of 650 °C, respectively. Moreover, the NSLN-based SH0 transducer showcased its better defect localization ability, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) sensitivity of NSLN-based transducer was evaluated to be 16.1 dB at high temperature of 650 °C. To sum up, the ultrasonic wave transducer based on NSLN crystal demonstrated higher potential applications for in situ SHM under elevated temperatures.
