Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic emission signal detection by ceramic/polymer composite piezoelectrets embedded in glass‐epoxy laminates
TL;DR: In this paper, thin films of these materials have been incorporated into surface mounted acoustic emission sensors and their frequency response and ability to detect plate waves, generated by a simulated acoustic emission source, has been examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and evaluation of piezoelectric composite bimorphs for in‐situ acoustic emission sensors
TL;DR: In this paper, mixed connectivity composites consisting of a ferroelectric ceramic powder of calcium modified lead titanate dispersed in a polymer matrix have been fabricated into piezoelectric bimorph sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ferroelectric properties of piezoelectric ceramic/polymer composites for acoustic emission sensors
TL;DR: In this paper, two different mixed connectivity composites, consisting of a ferroelectric ceramic powder of calcium modified lead titanate (PTCa) dispersed in a polymer matrix, have been fabricated and their properties have been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferroelectric ceramic/polymer composites and their applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a thin composite film of calcium modified lead titanate (PTCa)/copolymer of vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene P(VDF-TrFE) and PTCa/Epoxy have been produced and their piezoelectric d33- and electromechanical coupling coefficient kt, have been measured.
Journal Article
Intelligent piezoelectric composite materials for sensors
TL;DR: In this article, composite piezoelectric sensors were used to monitor strain and acoustic emission levels during tensile testing, and the piezelectric coefficient and dielectric constant as well as the electromechanical coupling factor of the composite films were determined.
