Modeling and application of piezoelectric transducers for structural health monitoring
The last few decades have witnessed vast applications of smart materials in structural health monitoring (SHM). Piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers are robust, cost effective, sensitive to damage, and ideal for monitoring constructed infrastructures. However PZT is brittle and ca...
