Effects of temperature on the electrical impedance of piezoelectric elements

<p>A structural health monitoring technique, developed at the Center for Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, employs piezoelectric (PZT) materials for tracking the structural impedance to qualitatively identify damage. The mechanical impedance of a structure is a function of the struc...
