Electromechanical Impedance Method for Applications in Boundary Condition Replication
2019One of the most challenging parts of modeling structural dynamics is realistically replicating boundary conditions from either a theoretical or experimental perspective. In a finite element model, the mechanical impedance of bolted joints in an assembly can be modeled, as a first step, as an equivalent spring-damper connection.

Damage Study Using Series and Parallel Electrode in Electromechanical Impedance Method
2021Electromechanical Impedance (EMI) method employs high frequencies range in assessing the local structural damage, using various damage metrics. These dam-age metrics are used as a tool to separate quantitatively EMI spectra into classes of the damage presence level and location in the structure.

Electromechanical impedance–based damage characterization using spectral element method
Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 2016The high-frequency nature of impedance-based structural health monitoring makes the utilization of impedance signature for model-based damage characterization a challenging problem. In this study, a novel damage characterization approach that utilizes impedance signature measured with a single piezoelectric wafer is developed.
