Piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) have been the widely used in impedance based damage detection applications. A most important matter in impedance method is applied voltage to PWAS and measuring current in PWAS. In this paper, for modeling of impedance based structural health monitoring, a 3D spectral finite element method (SFEM) is developed for plate structure with PWAS. Because of high frequency application of impedance method, high degree of freedom (DOF) is needed for modeling of impedance of PWAS attached on the plate. Uncertainty of plate and PWAS parameters could be effect on the natural frequencies of structure. So, impedance signal of modeling would be different based on uncertainty parameters. Polynomial chaos expansion (PC) is a probabilistic method consisting in the projection of the model output on a basis of orthogonal stochastic polynomials in the random inputs. In this paper, PCE is used for sensitivity analysis of the electromechanical impedance of plate structure with PWAS.

Hybrid Simulation is a dynamic response simulation paradigm that merges physical experiments and computational models into a hybrid model. In earthquake engineering, it is used to investigate the response of structures to earthquake excitation. In the context of response to extreme loads, the structure, its boundary conditions, damping, and the ground motion excitation itself are all subjected to large parameter variability. However, in current seismic response testing practice, Hybrid Simulation campaigns rely on a few prototype structures with fixed parameters subjected to one or two ground motions of different intensity. While this approach effectively reveals structural weaknesses, it does not reveal the sensitivity of structure's response. This thus far missing information could support the planning of further experiments as well as drive modeling choices in subsequent analysis and evaluation phases of the structural design process.This paper describes a Global Sensitivity Analysis framework for Hybrid Simulation. This framework, based on Sobol' sensitivity indices, is used to quantify the sensitivity of the response of a structure tested using the Hybrid Simulation approach due to the variability of the prototype structure and the excitation parameters. Polynomial Chaos Expansion is used to surrogate the hybrid model response. Thereafter, Sobol' sensitivity indices are obtained as a by-product of polynomial coefficients, entailing a reduced number of Hybrid Simulations compared to a crude Monte Carlo approach. An experimental verification example highlights the excellent performance of Polynomial Chaos Expansion surrogates in terms of stable estimates of Sobol' sensitivity indices in the presence of noise caused by random experimental errors.
