Structural health monitoring of thin plate and beam structures using ultrasonic guided wave techniques has been widely studied and demonstrated advanced capabilities dependent on detailed analysis of specific guided wave modes. A common setup employs the d31electromechanical coupling of piezoelectric wafer active sensors mounted on the surface of a beam or plate. Analysis of output signals from these basic systems is complicated because they represent multiple superposed ultrasonic wave modes that propagate at different velocities, are dispersive, and undergo reflection, refraction, and mode conversion. Multiple techniques have been pursued to overcome this complication. This article presents recent research into the use of shear-deforming lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric transducers, employing the d15electromechanical coupling property, embedded within beam-like structures to selectively actuate and sense specific ultrasonic wave modes. The internally located transducers actuated and sensed transverse shear, coupled to bending and antisymmetric waves. A combination of results from finite element simulations and experiments found that d15transducers located at the neutral axis of a beam exclusively coupled to antisymmetric wave modes and did neither directly actuate nor sense symmetric wave modes. Further study was performed to evaluate the effects of off-neutral-axis location on the mode selectivity and found that off axis location of the d15transducer did not diminish the coupling to antisymmetric wave modes, but introduced coupling to symmetric wave modes. Additional study was performed to assess the ability of structural health monitoring systems employing shear-deforming d15lead zirconate titanates located at the neutral axis to detect common forms of damage in laminate structures. The combination of selective actuation and selective sensing provides a powerful tool for signal analysis in ultrasonic structural health monitoring of thin plates and beams.
