In this article, the coverage area prediction of piezoelectric sensor network for detecting a specific type of under-surface crack in plate-like structures is addressed. In particular, this article proposes a simplified framework to estimate the coverage of any given sensor network arrangement when a critical defect is known. Based on numerical results from finite element methods (FEM), a simplified framework to estimate coverage area of any given network arrangement is developed. Using such a simplified framework, one can avoid time-consuming procedure of evaluating numerous FEM models in estimating sensor network coverage. Back-scatter fields of partial cracks are estimated using a proposed function, whose parameters are estimated from the results of a limited number of FEM simulations. The proposed function efficiently predicts the back-scattered field of any combination of transmitters and receivers for a given crack geometry. Superposition is used to estimate the coverage area of an arbitrary piezoelectric (e.g., PZT) sensor network. It is shown that the coverage area of a sensor network depends on both sensor network geometry and defect properties (e.g., crack inclination) and it is not necessarily a linear function of the number of sensors. Furthermore, it is shown that the network arrangement has an important effect on the geometry of the coverage area. Experimental results of a network of 14 PZTs in two clusters confirm the accuracy of the method.
