Magnetostrictive guided waves are widely used in nondestructive testing and structural health monitoring of pipes to ensure their integrity. These guided waves are mechanical waves, and if the natural frequencies of the pipe are used as excitation frequencies, the mechanical vibration amplitude can be enhanced, which will then improve the amplitude of the guided waves. Comparison of the various methods to determine the natural frequencies of pipes shows that the white noise signals remain relatively smooth in both time and frequency domains. White noise has a wide bandwidth and uniform energy distribution. It does not require high energy within a short time period, so it is easy to generate. In this article, white noise is used to determine the natural frequencies of pipes. Comparison of the white noise spectra produced by analog and digital circuits shows that the energy spectrum of white noise produced by the analog circuit is high and uniform, so the analog circuit is used as the white noise source and this noise is loaded onto a magnetostrictive sensor. The detected signal spectrum is then analyzed and the frequencies with high power density spectra are determined to be the natural frequencies. The natural frequencies of the pipeline detected using white noise are compared with the results of modal analysis. Simulation results and experimental results demonstrate that the use of white noise allows the natural frequencies of pipes to be determined quickly and accurately. These natural frequencies can be used in magnetostrictive guided-wave nondestructive testing.
