Sensing of Damage and Repair of Cement Mortar Using Electromechanical Impedance. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2019 Lead zirconium titanate (PZT) has recently emerged as a low-cost material for non-destructive monitoring for civil structures. Despite the numerous studies employing PZT transducers for structural health monitoring, no studies have assessed the effects of both damage and repair on the electromechanical impedance response in cementitious materials.
