Embedded Electromechanical Impedance and Strain Sensors for Health Monitoring of a Concrete Bridge

Piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is one of the piezoelectric smart materials, which has direct and converse piezoelectric effects and can serve as an active electromechanical impedance (EMI) sensor. The design and fabrication processes of EMI sensors embedded into concrete structures are...
