Abstract
Surface-bonded piezoelectric actuators can be used to generate Rayleigh wave for monitoring surface damages of structures. This paper provides an analytical and numerical study to simulate the wave propagation in an elastic half plane with surface-bonded piezoceramic actuators under high-frequency electric loads. Based on a one dimensional actuator model, the wave propagation induced by a single actuator is studied first by using integral transform method and solving the resulting integral equations. The single actuator solution is then implemented into a Pseudo-incident wave method to study the wave propagation induced by multiple actuators. Two aspects of the work are examined. The first is concerned with the determination of the effect of the geometry, the material mismatch and the loading frequency upon the resulting waveform, while the second is concerned with the effect of the interaction between actuators upon the induced wave propagation.

Structural Health Monitoring Using High-Frequency Electromechanical Impedance Signatures

Abstract: An overview of recent advances in electromechanical impedance- (EMI-) based structural health monitoring is presented in this paper. The basic principle of the EMI method is to use high-frequency excitation to sense the local area of a structure. Changes in impedance indicate changes in the structure, which in turn indicate that damages appear. An accurate EMI model based on the method of reverberation-ray matrix is introduced to correlate changes in the signatures to physical parameters of structures for damage detection. Comparison with other numerical results and experimental data validates the present model. A brief remark of the feasibility of implementing the EMI method is considered and the effects of some physical parameters on EMI technique are also discussed.
