... Abstract Electromechanical impedance (EMI) measurements have seen an increased application in the assessment of the structural integrity of manufactured parts. This has allowed for a cost-effective and simple solution to non-destructively evaluate additively manufactured components. EMI-based...

... Abstract Impedance-based structural health monitoring (SHM) is recognized as a non-intrusive, highly sensitive, and model-independent SHM solution that is readily applicable to complex structures. This SHM method relies on analyzing the electromechanical impedance (EMI) signature...

... Abstract Electromechanical impedance allows for a quick assessment of the mechanical integrity of the part under test by providing insights into its dynamic response. In previous studies, it has been shown that electromechanical impedance signatures obtained via directly bonded piezoelectric...

... rates of catastrophic failure by early detection of damage in total knee replacements (TKR). Previous work has been done to establish the ability of a structural health monitoring (SHM) technique known as the electromechanical impedance (EMI) method to detect certain types of damage prevalent in TKRs...

... Abstract Motivated by its success as a structural health monitoring solution, electromechanical impedance measurements have been utilized as a means for non-destructive evaluation of conventionally and additively manufactured parts. In this process, piezoelectric transducers are either directly...

... timescale. One promising approach is the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique. The EMI method monitors the impedance of a structure, and damage is indicated by changes in the impedance. Standard impedance measuring hardware are not practical for microsecond detection due to their slow sampling speeds...
