Data-driven approaches are gaining popularity in structural health monitoring (SHM) due to recent technological advances in sensors, high-speed Internet and cloud computing. Since Machine learning (ML), particularly in SHM, was introduced in civil engineering, this modern and promising method has drawn significant research attention. SHM’s main goal is to develop different data processing methodologies and generate results related to the different levels of damage recognition process. SHM implements a technique for damage detection and classification, including data from a system collected under different structural states using a piezoelectric sensor network using guided waves, hierarchical non-linear primary component analysis and machine learning. The primary objective of this paper is to analyse the current SHM literature using evolving ML-based methods and to provide readers with an overview of various SHM applications. The technique and implementation of vibration-based, vision-based surveillance, along with some recent SHM developments are discussed.

The analytical solution for the displacements of an anisotropic piezoelectric material in the uniform electric field is presented for practical use in the “global excitation mode” of piezoresponse force microscopy. The solution is given in the Wolfram Mathematica interactive program code, allowing the derivation of the expression of the piezoresponse both in cases of the anisotropic and isotropic elastic properties. The piezoresponse’s angular dependencies are analyzed using model lithium niobate and barium titanate single crystals as examples. The validity of the isotropic approximation is verified in comparison to the fully anisotropic solution. The approach developed in the paper is important for the quantitative measurements of the piezoelectric response in nanomaterials as well as for the development of novel piezoelectric materials for the sensors/actuators applications.

Coupling between electrical and mechanical phenomena is an important feature of functional inorganic materials and biological systems alike. The applications of electromechanically active materials include sonar, ultrasonic and medical imaging, sensors, actuators, and energy-harvesting technologies, as well as non-volatile computer memories. Electromechanical coupling in electromotor proteins and cellular membranes is the universal basis for biological functionalities from hearing to cardiac activity. The future will undoubtedly see the emergence of broad arrays of piezoelectric, biological, and molecular-based electromechanical systems to allow mankind the capability not only to “think” but also “act” on the nanoscale. The need for probing electromechanical functionalities has led to the development of Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) as a tool for local nanoscale imaging (Figures 1 and 2), spectroscopy, and manipulation of piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials.

An experimental study of low temperature domain dynamics could provide information on a mechanism of domain wall motion at low temperatures in thin ferroelectric films. For this purpose we use a piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) technique and investigate the 1800 ferroelectric domains growth in the temperature range 5 K – 295 K. Domains were created by applying a dc voltage pulses between an atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip and a bottom electrode of a thin epitaxial PbZr0.3Ti0.7O3 film. Two different types of tips were used, a semiconducting tip with dopant conductivity and a tip with metallic coating to clarify an influence of poling procedure on the domain dynamics. Created domains were then visualized and their in-plane sizes were measured with out-of-plane PFM. Dependences of lateral domain size on the duration and amplitude of dc voltage pulse were obtained. Received experimental dependences were then fitted with logarithmic function with good accuracy. This circumstance indicates on the thermally activated mechanism of domain growth and formation. Temperature dynamics of the 1800 ferroelectric domains growth does not depend on the AFM tip used in a poling procedure what allows us to conclude that the voltage transfer to the ferroelectric film does not significantly depend on the tip-film local contact properties.
