The electrochemical interface between Ag(111) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMITFSI) has been investigated by in-situ scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In-situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) characterization has revealed that there is neither surface reconstruction nor strong adsorption of EMITFSI on Ag(111)...
In practical application of electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) technique, the monitored structure is constantly undergoing change due to external boundary conditions and the surrounding ambience. This change, in most cases, is considered to be normal and a part of the everyday use of the structure. The aim of this paper is to examine and obtain a better understanding of practical issues that are a...
An accurate electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) model for analytical crack detection of a Timoshenko beam is established based on the improved reverberation-ray matrix method via the recursive formulations. The crack is treated as a massless rotational spring. A pair of PZT patches with free ends symmetrically bonded onto the beam is assumed in a state of pure one-dimensional axial motion under an...
In this paper, a novel miniature discone antenna operated in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band is presented. The introduction of the back cavity increases the cone angle and reduces the total size. In order to form a back cavity, the bottom of the cone is expanded and bended upward. The size of the discone antenna is reduced effectively. Also the size of the profile is reduced. Through adding short-circuit...
Two-current probes method and S-parameter method are studied comparatively for conductive EMI noise source modelling in this paper. Firstly, the basic theory of the two-current probes method and S-parameter method are introduced for noise source impedance extraction. Secondly, ZX and Zsetup are important intermediate results in the two methods, therefore their extractions are analyzed respectively...
A hybrid method combining electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) technique and artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to detect damages in structural systems. The structural members are treated as Timoshenko beams for flexural motion as well as the damages are modeled by changes in Young's modulus in the damaged area. For a structural member with surface-bonded PZT wafers, a coupled system is considered...
The object of electrical bioimpedance measurement is the impedance or impedance changes of biologic tissue. The electrode used in electrical bioimpedance measurement works under AC stimulation, the electrode impedances of both DC and AC, the stability of them are much important. AC and DC impedance properties of four kinds of one-off Ag/AgCl ECG electrodes produced by different manufactories, and...
This paper focuses on the delamination detection in composite beams using electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) signatures, which is directly related to the structure's mechanical impedance. A model of a laminated beam including a delamination as well as installed PZT transducers is presented. Furthermore, the model has to take into account the dynamic behavior of the piezoelectric patches and simulate...
