Real and Imaginary or Magnitude and Phase, Finding a Robust Damage Index for the Impedance Method Structural Health Monitoring

Structural vibration behavior is an essential signature of the integrity of structures and hence has been used for damage detection. Structural vibration impedance by way of piezoceramic patch excitation and sensoring offers a local damage detection technique. The commonly used damage index in this...
