“…Based on our previous studies [15][16][17][18], this paper aims to extend and validate this strain distribution method for delamination detection. This study investigates experimentally the influences of different parameters, such as actuator, sensor and delamination location, the magnitude and frequency of the input actuator voltage etc, on damage detection.…”

“…The advantage of using active material for structural health monitoring is that the condition of the structure can be continuously monitored with the aid of an onboard microprocessor and thus the sensor output can be continuously evaluated. Many studies in this field have focused on experimental investigation of the changes in the recorded output data of piezoelectric sensors due to damages and explored the possibility of damage detection using PZT patches (e.g., [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]). …”

“…Sun et al [38] analyzed the influence of delamination on the vibration control of piezoelectric sensors and actuators in smart beams. The debonding in a composite beam was identified by Tan and Tong [39, 40] using an integrated piezoelectric sensor/actuator layer. Della and Shu [41] investigated the effect of delamination on the free vibration of a delaminated beam.…”
A three-dimensional (3D) electric–elastic analysis of multilayered two-dimensional decagonal quasicrystal (QC) circular plates with simply supported or clamped boundary conditions is presented through a state vector approach. Both perfect and imperfect bonds between the layers are considered by adjusting the parameter sets in the model. Governing equations for the plates subjected to electric or elastic load on the bottom surfaces are derived using the state equations and the propagator matrix method. We explicitly obtain the analytical solution by writing the physical variables as Bessel series expansions and polynomial functions with respect to the radial coordinate. The solution is validated by comparing the numerical results with the 3D finite element analysis. The basic physical quantities of the plates in the phonon, phason, and electric fields are computed in the numerical examples. Result shows that the QC layers as coatings decrease the deflection in the phonon and phason fields of plates. The phonon–phason coupling elastic modulus and piezoelectric constant produce positive and negative effects on the magnitudes of stresses. Besides, compliance coefficients of the weak interface in the phonon field contribute more to the variations than those in the phason field.
“…Smart materials have the ability to perform both sensing and actuating functions in response to changes in stress, temperature, electric fields, or magnetic field [1][2][3][4][5]. Some examples of smart materials include piezoelectrics and electrostrictives, piezomagnetics, magnetostrictives and shape memory materials.…”
