Abstract
In order to monitor the health condition of structures in a more sensitive and accurate way, a novel and universal methodology called direct coupling mechanical impedance (DCMI) for characteristic signatures extraction is presented in this paper. This methodology is used to obtain DCMI signatures from measured raw signatures (RSs) with the surface-bonded piezoelectric sensors (PZT), which is developed from a pertinent electromechanical impedance (EMI) theoretical model for surface-bonded circular PZT. The proposed DCMI methodology has the advantages of simple calculation and magnifying the signatures when compared with the existing methods. Combining the extracted DCMI signatures with the root mean square deviation (RMSD) index is able to quantify the correlation between the health condition and the signatures variation more effectively. To verify the effectiveness of proposed DCMI methodology, experiments are conducted on aluminum plates and a part of fuselage in detail. The experimental results sufficiently demonstrate that the presented universal DCMI methodology possesses better sensitivity than the raw signatures when utilized for evaluating the health condition of metallic structures, including those made of metal-matrix nanomaterials.
