• Embedded non-destructive evaluation for structural health monitoring, damage detection, and failure prevention (2005, methodology): “Pitch-catch, pulse-echo, and even phased arrays have been experimentally demonstrated (Giurgiutiu et al., 2000, 2003; Giurgiutiu and Bao, 2002).”
• Detection, localization and characterization of damage in plates with an in situ array of spatially distributed ultrasonic sensors (2008, background): “These sensors, when bonded to plate-like structures such as are common in the aerospace industry, readily generate Lamb waves which propagate relatively long distances while maintaining good sensitivity to damage [1].”
• Active health monitoring of an aircraft wing with embedded piezoelectric sensor/actuator network: I. Defect detection, localization and growth monitoring (2007, background): “Giurgiutiu et al [13] studied the ultrasonic waves in beams and plates using an embedded piezoelectric wafer active sensor (PWAS).”
• Tuned Lamb Wave Excitation and Detection with Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring (2005, methodology): “Most of the methods used in conventional NDE, such as pitch-catch, pulse echo, and phased arrays, have also been demonstrated experimentally with PWAS (Giurgiutiu et al., 2002, 2003).”
• Embedded-ultrasonics Structural Radar for In Situ Structural Health Monitoring of Thin-wall Structures (2004, methodology): “Early work has shown that PWAS devices can successfully generate Lamb waves in thin-wall composite structures [18–20] as well as in metallic structures [21].”
• Modeling and testing of PZT and PVDF piezoelectric wafer active sensors (2006, methodology): “the methods used in conventional non-destructive evaluation (NDE), such as pitch-catch, pulse-echo, and phased arrays, have also been demonstrated experimentally with PWAS [8, 9].”
