Characterization of Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors [PDF]
Journal of Intelligent Materials Systems and Structures, 2000 In the beginning, the classical one-dimensional analysis of piezoelectric active sensors is reviewed. The complete derivation for a free-free sensor is then extended to cover the cases of clamped and elastically constrained sensors. An analytical model based on structural vibration theory and theory of piezoelectricity was developed and used to ...

Corrosion damage detection with piezoelectric wafer active sensors [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2004 Since today's aging fleet is now intended to far exceed their proposed design life, monitoring the structural integrity of those aircraft has become a priority issue for today's Air Force. One of the most critical structural problems is corrosion. In fact the KC-135 now costs $1.2 billion a year to repair corrosion.
