Coverage of fracture and failure basics, relevant piezoelectric material properties, vibration modes in different structures, and different wave types provide all the background needed to understand SHM and apply it to real-world structural challenges. Moving from theory to experimental practice, the book then provides the most comprehensive coverage available on using piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) to detect and quantify damage in structures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUpdates to this edition include circular and straight-crested Lamb waves from first principle, and the interaction between PWAS and Lamb waves in 1-D and 2-D geometries. Effective shear stress is described, and tuning expressions between PWAS and Lamb waves has been extended to cover axisymmetric geometries with a complete Hankel-transform-based derivation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew chapters have been added including hands-on SHM case studies of PWAS stress, strain, vibration, and wave sensing applications, along with new sections covering essential aspects of vibration and wave propagation in axisymmetric geometries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victor Giurgiutiu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0124186912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780124186910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.60w x 1.90d","brand":"Victor Giurgiutiu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112832512255,"sku":"9780124186910","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_181680c9-b409-4bf9-b976-d72247762850.jpg?v=1769611241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/structural-health-monitoring-with-piezoelectric-victor-giurgiutiu-9780124186910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
