In recent years, Piezoelectric Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) based active interfacial debonding defect detection approach for concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns has been proposed and validated experimentally. In order to investigate the mechanism of the PZT based interfacial debonding detection approach, a multi-physics coupling finite element model (FEM) composed of surface-mounted PZT actuator, embedded PZT sensor and a rectangular CFST column is constructed to numerically simulate the stress wave propagation induced by the surface mounted PZT actuator under different excitation signals with different frequency and amplitude. The measurements of the embedded PZT sensor in concrete core of the CFST columns with different interfacial debonding defect lengths and depths are determined numerically with transient dynamic analysis. The linearity between the PZT response and the input amplitude, the effect of different frequency and measurement distance are discussed and the stress wave fields of CFST members without and with interface debonding defects are compared. Then, the response of the embedded PZT in concrete core is analyzed with wavelet packet analysis. The root mean square deviation (RMSD) of wavelet packet energy spectrum of the PZT measurement is employed as an evaluation index for the interfacial debonding detection. The results showed that the defined index under continuous sinusoidal and sweep frequency signals changes with the interfacial defects length and depth and is capable of effectively identifying the interfacial debonding defect between the concrete core and the steel tubular. Moreover, the index under sweep frequency signal is more sensitive to the interfacial debonding. The simulation results indicate that the interfacial debonding defect leads to the changes in the propagation path, travel time and the magnitude of stress waves. The simulation results meet the findings from the previous experimental study by the authors and help understand the mechanism of interfacial debonding defect detection for CFSTs using PZT technology.

Honghui Wang, Ming Ma, Song Xia, Nan Zhang, Zhenrong Li

Summary: Porous PZT-5H single crystals were grown using the solid state crystal growth method. The microstructure, phase structure, and dielectric/piezoelectric properties of [001]-oriented porous PZT-5H single crystal were investigated.

Lei Li, Wei Yang, Dongfa Li, Jianxin Han, Wenming Zhang

Summary: The frequency locking phenomenon induced by modal coupling can effectively overcome the dependence of peak frequency on driving strength in nonlinear resonant systems and improve the stability of peak frequency. This study proposes the double frequencies locking phenomenon in a three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) magnetic coupled resonant system driven by piezoelectricity. Experimental and theoretical investigations confirm the occurrence of first frequency locking and the subsequent switching to second frequency locking with the increase of driving force. Furthermore, a mass sensing scheme for double analytes is proposed based on the double frequencies locking phenomenon.
