Abstract

Piezoelectric fiber patch (PFP) is suitable for guided wave based structural health monitoring (SHM) due to its light, thin, and flexible characteristics. In previous work, it was shown that PFPs can be designed to preferentially generate shear horizontal waves (SHPFP). The working principle and the potentials of SHPFP are discussed, and new designs with improved performances are proposed. Numerical simulations are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed designs.
