The embedded structural health monitoring system is envisioned to be an important factor of future structural systems. One of the many attractions of in situ health monitoring system is its capability to inspect the structural systems in less intrusive way over many other visual inspections which require disassembly of built up structures when some indications have appeared that damages have occurred in the structural systems The vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process is used to fabricate woven-glass/phenol composite specimens which have the PZT sensor array embedded in them. The embedded piezoceramic (PZT) sensors are used as both transmitters and receivers. A damage identification approach is developed for a woven-glass/phenol composite laminates with known localized defects. Propagation of the Lamb waves in laminates and their interactions with the defects are examined. Lamb waves are generated by the high power ultrasonic analyzer. A real time active diagnosis system is therefore established. The results obtained show that satisfactory detection accuracy could be achieved by proposed method.

To improve the reliability of compressor stator blades of gas turbines, an analytical method for estimating their fatigue damage has been developed. This method is based on blade-vibratory-stress analysis, stress-peak counting, and use of actual environmental data. The blade-vibratory-stress analysis takes the superposition of multi-peaks of the stress spectrum into account. The numerically simulated stress showed better agreement with measured stress than that from a conventional stress analysis, which is based on frequency-response analysis considering a single peak of the lowest single eigen-vibration-mode. A time-domain stress history was synthesized from the blade-vibratory-stress analysis results. Furthermore, the fatigue damage of the blade under rotating stall was estimated by the linear-damage-rule from the stress-peak counting of the stress and from material data. The estimated fatigue-damage agrees well with the measured results. This agreement means that our new fatigue-damage-estimation method is more accurate than the conventional one.
