Abstract
The electromechanical impedance (EMI)-based damage identification method is a non-destructive testing approach in the field of structural health monitoring. The frequency response function (FRF) of EMI can effectively reveal the health conditions of a structure. Typically, the health condition is identified by comparing the FRF of a structure to that of a baseline. However, baselines may exhibit unpredictable shifts in real applications. In this study, a new EMI-based health identification method is proposed without reference to baselines or handcrafted features. An adjustable inductive shunt circuit that can enrich the EMI dataset is connected to a piezoelectric transducer. Pre-set damage, including bolt looseness and mass variations, are selected to demonstrate damage identification. The FRFs are extracted using a phase-sensitive detection algorithm. The damage identification model is realized using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network. Experimental results show that the proposed method can identify the location of bolt loosening and mass variation with an overall accuracy of 99.24%. The proposed method can be applied for identifying the health conditions of a structure with strong nonlinearity.
