Title: Structural Health Monitoring with Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors
Piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) are inexpensive, non-intrusive un-obtrusive devices that can be surface-mounted on existing structures, or inserted in a new composite structure. The PWAS can be used in both active and passive modes. In active mode, the PWAS generate Lamb waves that can exist as either traveling waves or standing waves. As traveling waves, PWAS-generated Lamb waves can...
متن کاملStructural Health Monitoring of Composite Materials Using Piezoelectric Sensors
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) denotes a system with the ability to detect and interpret adverse " changes " in a structure in order to improve reliability and reduce life-cycle costs. The greatest challenge in designing a SHM system is knowing what " changes " to look for and how to identify them. This paper focuses on the relationship between sensing systems and their ability to detect ch...
متن کاملPredictive modeling of nonlinear wave propagation for structural health monitoring with piezoelectric wafer active sensors
This article presents predictive modeling of nonlinear guided wave propagation for structural health monitoring using both finite element method and analytical approach. In our study, the nonlinearity of the guided waves is generated by interaction with a nonlinear breathing crack. Two nonlinear finite element method techniques are used to simulate the breathing crack: (a) element activation/de...
متن کاملEmbedded Ultrasonics with Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring of Thin-wall Structures
The capability of embedded piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) to perform in-situ ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is explored. Laboratory tests are used to prove that PWAS can satisfactorily perform Lamb wave transmission and reception. Subsequently, pulse-echo method for crack detection in an aircraft panel is illustrated. For large area scanning, a PWAS phased array is used t...
متن کاملDynamics of Structures with Piezoelectric Sensors and Actuators for Structural Health Monitoring
The dynamic analysis of structures with piezoelectric sensors and actuators is used in this paper to establish a method for crack detection in aerospace structures. Piezoelectric strips used as sensors and actuators are bonded on both sides of a thin structure which executes flexural oscillations. The differential voltage outputs of the piezoelectric sensors are used to detect the presence of c...
