中文摘要：

针对水轮机结构复杂等特点，传统的时差定位及模态定位方法不能满足其裂纹水轮机叶片定位要求，提出利用小波神经网络对水轮机转轮叶片的裂纹进行定位．训练采用标度共轭梯度算法（SCG），并对输出结果采用竞争处理方式．结果表明，与BP网络相比，小波神经网络提高了定位的准确度，所确定的裂纹位置最大误差仅为4．2％，是一种适合复杂结构的定位方法．

英文摘要：

Turbine runner has a complex structure. The traditional source location methods, such as time of arrival and modal analysis, can not satisfy the accuracy. This paper described source location of cracks of turbine blades using a wavelet neural network （WNN）. The scaled conjugate gradient algorithm （SCGA） was used in the training iteration. The outputs were dealt with competing mode. The results show that the WNN can improve the accuracy of location compared with BP neural network, which indicates the WNN algorithm is a suitable source location method for complex structures.
