Coupled 3D PZT-Structure Elastodynamic Constitutive Interaction Tensor • Units shown as $ (Siemens / inverted Ohm $\mho$)
The electrical admittance across the bonded piezoceramic patch is governed by electro-mechanical coupling:
Units are expressed in $ (Siemens / mho), where real part $G$ represents active power dissipation and imaginary part $B$ represents reactive susceptance.
The crack introduces localized loss of structural stiffness $(\Delta k_s)$ and damping perturbation $(\Delta c_s)$:
Internal core cracks cause volumetric wave scattering, while surface cracks induce dominant Rayleigh surface acoustic wave distortions.
