In order to solve the problem that the large distribution range of pore size of porous materials leads to the large detection errors of porosity, the non-linear ultrasonic testing technique is applied. A graphite composite was used as the experimental object in the study. As the accuracy of porosity is directly related with feature extraction, the dynamic wavelet fingerprint (DWFP) technology was utilized to extract the feature parameter of the ultrasonic signals. The effects of the wavelet function, scale factor, and white slice ratio on the extraction of the nonlinear feature are discussed. The SEM photos were conducted using gray value to identify the aperture. The relationship between pore diameter and detection accuracy was studied. Its results show that the DWFP technology could identify the second harmonic component well, and the extracted nonlinear feature could be used for the quantitative trait of porosity. The larger the proportion of the small diameter holes and the smaller the aperture distribution range was, the smaller the error was. This preliminary research aimed to improve the nondestructive testing accuracy of porosity and it is beneficial to the application of porous material in the manufacturing field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19153328","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,29]],"date-time":"2019-07-29T11:20:18Z","timestamp":1564399218000},"page":"3328","update-policy":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Preliminary Research on the Nonlinear Ultrasonic Detection of the Porosity of Porous Material Based on Dynamic Wavelet Fingerprint Technology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Xianghong","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology for High-Performance Mechanical Equipment, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410004, China"},{"name":"Hunan Province Research Center for Safety Control Technology and Equipment of Bridge Engineering, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenglong","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology for High-Performance Mechanical Equipment, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology for High-Performance Mechanical Equipment, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongwei","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology for High-Performance Mechanical Equipment, Changsha University of Science &amp; Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"246","DOI":"10.1016\/j.enbuild.2017.05.036","article-title":"Breathing walls: The design of porous materials for heat exchange and decentralized ventilation","volume":"149","author":"Craig","year":"2017","journal-title":"Energy Build."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1134\/S1995421217030078","article-title":"Broadband radio-absorbing materials based on porous composites with carbon nanotubes","volume":"10","author":"Kondrashov","year":"2017","journal-title":"Polym.
