Abstract:The piezoelectric actuator has gained popularity over the last few years. Attention has been directed towards the study of their electromechanical response in active repair and the control of damaged structures. This has been made possible through the development of various numerical and analytical techniques for such studies. The shift of focus towards the piezoelectric based approaches has been due to their advantages, which include strategic cost benefits in maintenance, as well as an increase in the life cycle of the repaired structures. Furthermore, adhesively bonded joints are widely used in the manufacturing and repairing of structures in many industries, especially automotive and aerospace engineering. This is due to the requirement for lightweight materials as well as the potential adhesive used to join materials with different characteristics. The piezoelectric actuator has also shown the capacity in controlling and lowering the shear stress concentration and joint edge peel in adhesively bonded joint systems. The structure's control of stress and repair can generally be viewed as a reinforcement that influences the structure's damage tolerance. Therefore, the interest of this review is on the applications of the piezoelectric actuators in both structural damage and the bonded adhesive joint system. The specific goal is to recognize the contemporary scientific challenges, including future opportunities.

“…Piezoelectric patches are also much lighter than conventional materials and create less concentrated stress on the damaged structure. Pioneering researches on repair of damaged steel structures by use of piezoelectric patches were conducted by Wang et al [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. The concept was also extended to the repair of reinforced concrete beams [ 59 , 60 ], damaged structures with a moving mass [ 61 ], and analyzed by analytical fracture mechanics [ 62 ] and boundary element methods [ 63 ].…”

“…Wang et al [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ] developed models to study the use of piezoelectric materials in structural repair, including mechanical models for the repair of cracked or delaminated beam or plate structures under a variety of load conditions. The placement and size of the piezoelectric layer to provide an optimal voltage design with respect to minimizing/removing the stress singularity at the tip of cracks and delaminations were also investigated.…”

The paper reviews the recent applications of piezoelectric materials in structural health monitoring and repair conducted by the authors. First, commonly used piezoelectric materials in structural health monitoring and structure repair are introduced. The analysis of plain piezoelectric sensors and actuators and interdigital transducer and their applications in beam, plate and pipe structures for damage detection are reviewed in detail. Second, an overview is presented on the recent advances in the applications of piezoelectric materials in structural repair. In addition, the basic principle and the current development of the technique are examined.

“…The repair in active mode is observed better than the repair in passive. A model is developed to analyse the stress singularity at the crack tip of delamination in the composite beam subjected to static loading and presented through the finite element analysis using the ABAQUS (Duan et al, 2007). Piezoelectric material can be used as an active patch to diminish stress close to the crack tip of a notched beam under dynamic loading (Wang et al, 2004).…”

This article presents an experimental investigation of repair of a crack in a structure using piezoelectric material under thermo-mechanical loading environment. The cyclic mechanical load is applied on a plate with a straight and angular crack under uniform temperature environment. Two cases have been considered for the repair of crack under (a) mechanical loading and (b) thermo-mechanical loading environment. A piezoelectric sensor is utilized to measure voltage. The measured voltage is used to calculate the stress intensity factor in passive and active modes. The effect of a single and double piezoelectric patch in the repair of the plate is investigated. The double piezoelectric patch is found to be more effective as compared to single patch when placed symmetrically offset from the crack. An optimal value of voltage and phase difference is evaluated for most effective crack repair. Location of the piezoelectric patch is varied with respect to crack location, and best-suited position for effective crack repair is proposed. The viability of piezoelectric used for repair under thermo-mechanical loading is discussed. The active mode of repair by piezoelectric is found to be effective under thermo-mechanical loading environment.
