Abstract:Methods for constructing damage localization maps from networks of piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) acoustic sensor measurements were investigated. A new approach, asymmetric acoustic Scattering (AAS), for damage detection and localization using PZT sensor arrays was developed, and the conclusions were favorable compared to commercial software results. The AAS method is simple, computationally efficient, and general because it does not require geometric details of the component or complex physical m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
