Abstract
Piezoelectric acoustic emission sensors can be used detect the sound emitted by the target structure when it is damaged and have important applications in the field of structure health monitoring. However, due to the mismatch of the interface acoustic impedance, it is hard for the conventional ultrasonic sensor to monitor the acoustic emission in a pipe structure. In this work, a flexible sensor by the deposition of a Pb(Zr0.52,Ti0.48)O3 thin film on a mica substrate was fabricated, and the acoustic emission generated by the partial discharge of a 110 kV power cable was detected by using the flexible sensor. The flexible sensor was designed with an electromagnetic shielding structure and, therefore, can screen most of the electromagnetic interference. The flexible sensor shows a relatively flat response in the frequency range from 100 to 1000 kHz with a sensitivity over 47.5 dB, which is beneficial for pattern recognition studies of acoustic emission. This work not only provides a flexible, anti-electromagnetic interference and broadband sensor for acoustic emission detection but also promotes the development and application of flexible ferroelectric materials.
