Abstract

The damage detection in structural health monitoring was performed in glass fiber composite plates and carbon nanotude composite plates. Electromechanical Impedance technique was used for identification of damage using lead zirconate titanate patches. Impact on composite structure was created artificially by drilling a hole in composite structures. Bolt stiffnesss were detected by loosening of bolts and nuts in the composite structures. Corrosion occurs due to the aging and change of environmental conditions. The novelty in this paper is the use of corroded bolts in composite structures and identified the effects of corrosion and compared the output signatures with potentiostat. In this paper common deformation detection in composite plates, measurement of bolt stiffness and effects of corrosion has been performed. Measurement of Impedance at different frequencies were normalized with the undamaged composite structures and considered as the reference signatures. These results have been analyzed and verified with the output from potentiostat.
