Guided waves find their niche in cost‐effective damage identification in comparison with
conventional nondestructive evaluation. Comprehensive research has been conducted …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is based on layer-by-layer addition of materials. It gives design
flexibility and potential to decrease costs and manufacturing lead time. Because the AM …

Heterophases, such as precipitates, inclusions, second phases, or reinforcement particles,
often drive void nucleation due to local incompatibilities in stresses/strains. This results in a …

Fatigue crack growth in plate structures is monitored with ultrasonic guided waves
generated from piezoelectric transducers. Cracks initiate in the vicinity of fastener holes due …

With an integrated active piezoelectric sensor network, a Lamb wave-based crack
identification technique for aluminium plates was developed. Experimental results showed …

This paper presents an experimental study of damage detection and quantification in riveted
lap joints. Embedded lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric (PZT) ceramic wafer-type sensors …

This work concerned a technique for a health monitoring system based on the generation
and sensing of Lamb waves in composite structures by thin surface-bonded piezoceramic …

This work was devoted to the development of a health monitoring system assigned to
aerospace applications. Those applications concerned the detection of damaging impacts …

This paper presents an end-to-end approach for structural health management using
acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. Three quantitative methods are proposed to utilize the …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been related to damage monitoring with operational
loads playing a significant role in terms of fatigue life and damage accumulation prognostics …
