Electro-Mechanical Impedance Technique

  • Chapter
Smart Materials in Structural Health Monitoring, Control and Biomechanics

Part of the book series: Advanced Topics in Science and Technology in China ((ATSTC))

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the theoretical and the practical aspects of the EMI technique for SHM/NDE. In principle, this technique is similar to the conventional global dynamic techniques described in Chapter 1. The main difference is the frequency range employed: the EMI technique typically employs 30 to 400 kHz whereas the global dynamic techniques employ less than 100 Hz.
