A Smart Washer for Bolt Looseness Monitoring Based on Piezoelectric Active Sensing Method

Piezoceramic based active sensing methods have been researched to monitor preload on bolt connections. However, there is a saturation problem involved with this type of method. The transmitted energy is sometimes saturated before the maximum preload which is due to it coming into contact with flat s...
