Electrical impedance of biological matter is known as electrical bioimpedance or simply as bio-impedance. Bio-impedance devices are of great value for monitoring the pathological and physiological status of biological tissues in clinical and home environments. The technological progress in instrumentation has significantly contributed to the progress that has been observed during the last past ...

One of the important aspects of structural health monitoring is that the technique provides information on the life expectancy of structures, as well as detects and locates structural damage. In general, this requires knowledge of the model of structures in great detail, which is not always possible. In addition, dynamic systems usually present non-linear characteristics, imposing a difficulty ...

Synopsis: Cementitious materials are generally classified as semi-conductors that are capable of carrying electricity when an external electrical signal is applied. The electrical properties of cementitious materials have been widely explored for monitoring their internal hydration processes. However, comparatively less work has been done in using the inherent electrical properties of cementiti...

Myocardial electrical impedance is a biophysical property of the heart that is influenced by the intrinsic structural characteristics of the tissue. Therefore, the structural derangements elicited in a chronic myocardial infarction should cause specific changes in the local systolic-diastolic myocardial impedance, but this is not known. This study aimed to characterize the local changes of syst...

In recent years, the damage detection with E/M impedance method has gained increased attention. The method uses small-size piezoelectric active sensors intimately bonded to an existing structure, or embedded into a new composite construction. Experimental demonstrations have shown that the real part of the highfrequency impedance spectrum is directly affected by the presence of damage or defect...

Abstract The estimation method based on the electrochemical impedance spectrum can comprehensively describe reaction process of Li-ion battery without causing damage to battery, and is suitable for estimating state health battery. In this paper, equivalent circuit model established by analyzing ac internal corresponding each component composite link with curve segments in spectrum, parameters a...
