Detection and monitoring of hidden fatigue crack growth using a built-in piezoelectric sensor/actuator network: II. Validation using riveted joints and repair patches (2004, methodology): “suitcase [8] (a portable active diagnostic instrument designed to interface with piezoelectric transducers) was implemented to generate diagnostic signals from the actuator strip and record measurements from the sensor strips.”
Energy Harvesting for Structural Health Monitoring Sensor Networks (2008, methodology): “One wired system that has been specifically designed for SHM applications consists of an array of PZT patches embedded in Mylar sheet that is bonded to a structure [22].”
Piezoelectric Transducer-Based Structural Health Monitoring for Aircraft Applications (2019, methodology): “In general, the diagnostic waveform output used to drive the piezoelectric actuators is a five-peak sine wave modulated by a cosine (Gaussian) envelope [15].”
Pitch-catch Active Sensing Methods in Structural Health Monitoring for Aircraft Structures (2008, methodology): “In parallel with nondestructive testing (NDT) evaluations, a SMART Suitcase [22] was utilized to generate diagnostic signals from the actuator strip and to record measurements from the sensor strips.”
