Damage Detection Using Electromechanical Impedance Technique Combined with Scanning Laser Vibrometry

Abstract:

The paper consists of two parts. First, Electromechanical Impedance (EMI) method is proven to be able to determine some vibrational characteristics of the investigated structure. In order to verify this statement, Scannig Laser Vibrometry (SLV) is used to correlate frequency peaks of velocity (or displacement) operational deflection shapes with corresponding ones obtained by EMI method. Finally, the influence of moisture content in CFRP sample on resonance peaks is investigated using EMI method. Damage detection indicator in this case is based on shifts of resonant peaks.
