Abstract

Phased array theory is analyzed. The PZT phased array is applied in SHM for the Al plate to identify the hole in the structure. The Lamb wave beam steering is controlled by adding the time delay to the signals. The structure can be scanned in half plane by using the phased array theory to control the Lamb wave beam steering. The damage in the structure can be recognized and localized by the phased array method. The identification result is shown on mapped image. The phased array damage localization method is verified by the experiment and the result shows that the method is effective to recognize the hole damage in the structure.
