Abstract

A method and system for identifying a cavity position of a structure based on global search includes: step 1: using a structure requiring cavity position identification as a target area, arranging acoustic emission sensors at key positions of the target area, and acquiring actual travel time of signals between the acoustic emission sensors on site; step 2: constructing cavity models for the target area; and for each cavity model, tracking shortest paths of signal propagation between the acoustic emission sensors when each cavity model exists in the target area, to obtain theoretical travel time of the signals; and step 3: respectively calculating deviations between the theoretical travel time and the actual travel time of the signals between the acoustic emission sensors corresponding to each cavity model, and using a position of a cavity model corresponding to a minimum deviation as an identified cavity position in the target area.
