Abstract: The prediction of the internal temperature and thickness of the high-temperature structure has a very important role and significance in the fields of aerospace and petrochemical industry, such as the thinning of the pipe wall caused by the long-term erosion of the fluid in the high-temperature pipeline, which requires simultaneous online monitoring of the internal temperature and thickness change of the pipe wall structure. Firstly, a theoretical model based on ultrasonic pulse-echo method for simultaneous measurement of temperature and thickness is established. According to thermo-acoustic-solid coupling theory, an alternate iterative identification method combining conjugate gradient method for heat flow inversion and the steepest descent method for thickness inversion is used to realize the simultaneous measurement of temperature field and thickness in solid structure under transient heat transfer condition. In addition, based on the transient heat transfer test of 20# steel, the validity and accuracy of the alternate iterative inversion method are verified and analyzed, and the influence of physical property parameters, sampling points, boundary temperature and time accuracy on the reconstruction method are systematically analyzed. The results show that the structure thickness obtained by the alternate iteration method based on ultrasonic transit sound is consistent with the physical reality, and the reconstructed transient temperature distribution inside the structure has high accuracy and good real-time performance, which is beneficial to promote the development of ultrasonic simultaneous temperature measurement and thickness measurement technology under high temperature environment, and has important engineering application value.

Key words: simultaneous measurement of temperature and thickness by ultrasound, transient inhomogeneous temperature field, alternate iterative inversion method, internal temperature field, thickness
