ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting a damaged feature within a structure includes embedding a plurality of thin piezoelectric ceramic sensors on the structure. A first sensor is excited so that the first sensor produces a responsive signal in the structure. The responsive signal is received at a second sensor. The presence or absence in the received responsive signal of at least one predetermined signal characteristic is determined, where the predetermined signal characteristic is related to existence of the damage feature.
