In situ Barely Visible Impact Damage detection and localization for composite structures using surface mounted and embedded PZT transducers: A comparative study
Embedding PZT transducers into composite structures during their manufacturing changes its electrical characteristics. The damage detection capabilities of PZT transducers can be greatly increased after the embedding. A new algorithm of damages localization can be used for arbitrary network geometry.
