Abstract
AbstractPiezoelectric composites, consisting of a ferroelectric ceramic powder of calcium‐modified lead titanate dispersed in two different polymer matrices, viz. from vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene and an epoxy, have been fabricated. The composites show a mixed connectivity structure, and the results of electromechanical characterization are given. Thin films of these materials have been incorporated into surface mounted acoustic emission sensors and their frequency response and ability to detect plate waves, generated by a simulated acoustic emission source, has been examined. In situ transducers embedded into glass‐reinforced laminate plates have also been examined and have been shown suitable for acoustic emission sensors.
