Abstract: The far-field detection advantage of guided wave and machine learning models are used to carry out the research on the intelligent identification methods for corrosion damage in pipeline bends. Different levels of corrosion defects are processed at the bends of ordinary carbon steel pipes elbow, which are divided into 10 grades according to the degree of corrosion. Two kinds of signal excitation receiving methods, self excitation receiving and one excitation receiving, are used to excite T(0,1) ultrasonic guided wave in the pipeline, and the guided wave detection signals corresponding to defects with different corrosion degrees are acquired. Characteristic values of multiple guided wave signals are extracted to represent the damage degree by analyzing the features of detection signal in time domain and frequency domain. Two classification models, BP neural network and support vector machine, are used to train and analyze the data to obtain the defect damage identification model, which can accurately identify the corrosion degree of the bending part. In the research, the influence of the super parameters of the two models on the accuracy of the defect identification model is analyzed, and the performance of the two models on the identification of the corrosion damage of the bend is compared. The experimental results show that the two damage identification models can achieve better classification effect for guided wave detection signals under different excitation and reception modes. Compared with BP neural network, support vector machine has better identification effect for rail crack damage under the condition of small sample.
