Abstract
This paper, the second in a two-part series, presents a new methodology for structural identification and nondestructive evaluation by piezo–impedance transducers. The theoretical development and experimental validation of the underlying lead–zirconium–titanate (PZT)–structure interaction model was presented in the first part. In our newly proposed method, the damage in evaluated on the basis of the equivalent system parameters “identified” by the surface-bonded piezo–impedance transducer. As proof of concept, the proposed method is applied to perform structural identification and damage diagnosis on a representative lab-sized aerospace structural component. It is then extended to identify and monitor a prototype reinforced concrete bridge during a destructive load test. The proposed method was found to be able to successfully identify as well as evaluate damages in both the structures.
