Abstract

Although corrosion leads to a slight reduction in the structure of an engine, it significantly decreases the mechanical strength and service life of materials. Therefore, maintaining the integrity of structures in corrosive environments is essential to assess their status and prevent damage and costs. This study investigates the ability of the electromechanical impedance method to detect corrosion and study defect dimensions on a cantilever beam using piezoelectric sensors. Traditionally, the Scalar Injury Criterion has been used to diagnose quantitative defects. The diagrams obtained from both the analytical and empirical discussions clearly show that piezoelectric sensors can detect defect dimensions in both scenarios.
