Abstract
In this study, an active structural health monitoring (SHM) system is developed for non‐destructive defect identification in steel pipes, which is based on elastic waves generated and collected using piezoelectric ceramics patches. Finite element models of the elastic wave propagation in steel pipes are devised to determine their characteristics and used to optimise wave mode and frequency. An experimental study is also conducted for the validation of the proposed structural health monitoring system and the numerical modelling. The obtained results can be employed to optimally design the online structural health monitoring system with an integrated piezoelectric actuator‐sensor network for steel pipes.
