Monitoring Fatigue Damage of Modular Bridge Expansion Joints Using Piezoceramic Transducers

Monitoring Fatigue Damage of Modular Bridge Expansion Joints Using Piezoceramic Transducers

Modular bridge expansion joints (MBEJs) are commonly used in bridges and are often subjected to fatigue damages, which necessitate fatigue monitoring of MBEJs to ensure the reliable operation of the bridges. In this paper, a stress wave based active sensing approach using piezoceramic transducers is...
