Estimation of Back-Surface Flaw Depth by Laminated Piezoelectric Highpolymer Film

Piezoelectric thin films have been used to visualize back surface flaws in plates. If the plate with a surface flaw is deformed, the strain distribution appears on the other surface reflecting the location and the shape of the flaw. Such surface strain distribution can be transformed into the electr...
