Structural health monitoring using smart devices for damage detection
Recent decades have seen the rapid development of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) as a smart material in electro mechanical impedance (EMI) based structural health monitoring (SHM) technique. In this technique, the PZT transducer is attached to the host structure either by surface bonding or embedding...

Recent decades have seen the rapid development of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) as a smart material in electro mechanical impedance (EMI) based structural health monitoring (SHM) technique.
