This study presents numerical and experimental analyses for characterizing the sensing region of a smart PZT (lead\u2013zirconate\u2013titanate) interface for damage monitoring in plate-like structures. First, a finite element (FE) model of the PZT interface mounted on a plate structure is established. The impedance responses of the PZT interface are numerically simulated under different damage locations inflicted in the plate domain. The impedance features are extracted from the impedance signatures to analyze the sensing distance and the damage detectability of the PZT interface. Next, the splice plate of a bolted connection is selected as a practical plate-like structure for the experimental examination of the PZT interface\u2019s sensing region on a limited plate domain. The damage sensitivity behavior of the PZT interface is analyzed with respect to the damage location on the splice plate. An FE analysis of the corresponding PZT interface-splice plate system is also conducted to support the experimental results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19061377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,19]],"date-time":"2019-03-19T12:12:25Z","timestamp":1552997545000},"page":"1377","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Sensing Region Characteristics of Smart Piezoelectric Interface for Damage Monitoring in Plate-Like Structures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9231-2129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thanh-Canh","family":"Huynh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"BK21Plus Team, Department of Ocean Engineering, Pukyong National University, 599-1 Daeyeon 3-dong, Nam-gu, Busan 608-737, Korea"}]},{"given":"So-Young","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Smart Infrastructure Technology Institute, Pukyong National University, 599-1 Daeyeon 3-dong, Nam-gu, Busan 608-737, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1330-7445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ngoc-Loi","family":"Dang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BK21Plus Team, Department of Ocean Engineering, Pukyong National University, 599-1 Daeyeon 3-dong, Nam-gu, Busan 608-737, Korea"}]},{"given":"Jeong-Tae","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BK21Plus Team, Department of Ocean Engineering, Pukyong National University, 599-1 Daeyeon 3-dong, Nam-gu, Busan 608-737, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.1177\/1045389X9400500102","article-title":"Coupled electro-mechanical analysis of adaptive matrial \u2013 Determination of the actuator power consumption and system energy transfer","volume":"5","author":"Liang","year":"1994","journal-title":"J.
