Sensitivity of Piezoelectric-Based Smart Interfaces to Structural Damage in Bolted Connections

Sensitivity of Piezoelectric-Based Smart Interfaces to Structural Damage in Bolted Connections

This study presents a set of experimental and numerical investigations to study the sensitivity of the piezoelectric-based smart interface device to structural damage in a bolted connection. The study aims to identify the proper geometric sizes of smart interfaces for damage detection tasks. First,...
