In response to the real-time imaging detection requirements of structural defects in the R region of rib-stiffened wing skin, a defect detection algorithm based on phased-array ultrasonic imaging for wing skin with stiffener is proposed. We select the full-matrix–full-focusing algorithm with the best imaging quality as the prototype for the required detection algorithm. To address the problem of poor real-time performance of the algorithm, a sparsity-based full-focusing algorithm with symmetry redundancy imaging mode is proposed. To address noise artifacts, an adaptive beamforming method and an equal-acoustic-path echo dynamic removal scheme are proposed to adaptively suppress noise artifacts. Finally, within 0.5 s of imaging time, the algorithm achieves a detection sensitivity of 1 mm and a resolution of 0.5 mm within a single-frame imaging range of 30 mm × 30 mm. The defect detection algorithm proposed in this paper combines phased-array ultrasonic technology and post-processing imaging technology to improve the real-time performance and noise artifact suppression of ultrasound imaging algorithms based on engineering applications. Compared with traditional single-element ultrasonic detection technology, phased-array detection technology based on post-processing algorithms has better defect detection and imaging characterization performance and is suitable for R-region structural detection scenarios.

Internal delamination damage in composite connection structures can occur in the process of the overloading of a high-speed bearing, with alternating force loads, high or low temperatures, and the humid or hot environment loads. Mechanical drilling and riveting are usually used at the delamination position and outside its envelope, to inhibit delamination expansion. However, delamination damage can change the structural stress state of the original structure. It is difficult to achieve a better inhibition effect using conventional drilling mechanisms and process methods with intact composite panels, and new damage forms can even be introduced into the drilling process due to unreasonable parameter settings. Therefore, this paper combined finite element simulation technology and experimental processing technology, to analyze the influence of different delamination dimensions and positions on processing quality. The results showed that the feed speed and rotating speed had significant effects on the axial force of composite laminates. In particular, in the case of a low speed and high feed, the axial force will increase significantly.
