In-Situ Imaging of Crack Growth with Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors [PDF]

open access: yes47th AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference<BR> 14th AIAA/ASME/AHS Adaptive Structures Conference<BR> 7th, 2006
∗Piezoelectric-wafer active sensors (PWAS) are small, inexpensive, non-invasive, elastic wave transmitters/receivers that can be easily affixed to a structure. PWAS are wide-band nonresonant devices that can selectively tune in various Lamb wave modes traveling in a thin-wall structure.

PVDF and PZT Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring [PDF]

open access: yesNondestructive Evaluation Engineering, 2005
Piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) used in structural health monitoring (SHM) applications are able to detect structural damage using Lamb waves. PWAS are small, lightweight, unobtrusive and inexpensive. PWAS achieve direct transduction between electric and elastic wave energies. PWAS are essential elements in the Lamb-wave SHM with pitch-catch,
