Pipeline Damage Detection Using Piezoceramic Transducers: Numerical Analyses with Experimental Validation

This paper aims to set up a finite element model using piezoelectric elements to realize pipeline structure damage identification analysis. Ultrasonic guided wave propagation characteristics and damage identification of pipeline structures are analyzed by the ABAQUS software. The pulse-echo method u...
