Multi-Physics Coupling Simulation of Surface Stress Waves for Interface Debonding Detection in Underwater Grouting Jacket Connections with PZT Patches by Bin Xu, Qian Liu, Xinhai Zhu, Hanbin Ge

“…To further localize the debonding region, a one pitch and multiple catch (OPMC) configuration is employed, and an abnormal value analysis is conducted on the WPEs of PZT sensor measurements with identical and comparable wave traveling patches. The identified debonding regions correspond to the simulated defects in the models.…”
