Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to present the method of identifying the impact location on the plate. This basic research has the purpose to achieve the human-interaction technology based on the signal processing, piezoelectric materials, and wave propagation. The work concerning the location identification of a single impact on the plate has been previously studied by means of the time frequency analysis applied to accelerometer signals. In this paper, a novel approach for the location identification of the discrete impact is presented to investigate the feasibility of applying to a human-interaction system. For the identification of the impact location, the major axisymmetry mode of the Lamb wave on the plate is used for this work.
