The electromechanical impedance (EMI) method, which applies piezoelectric ceramic lead-zirconate-titarate (PZT) as impedance transducers, is proven to be an effective technique for structure health monitoring. This study examines the efficacy of using PZT transducers to detect any damage in specific...
