A small unexpected change of a joint can lead to complicated wave-scattering in its connected waveguides. The conversion between wave modes can be used to quantify the variation of the connection status of joints. This gives rise to the challenge of exciting and sensing only one specific wave mode in practice. In this paper, transmitted wave amplitudes of a flange joint are first calculated by the wave finite element method (WFEM) to study the quantitative relationship between the local stiffness changes of the damaged site and the wave-mode conversion. Wave-mode piezoelectric transducers are subsequently designed for torsional, longitudinal, and flexural waves in cylindrical waveguides. The idea is to use the distribution and interconnection of the piezoelectric materials to cancel the charge contributed from the non-targeting waves. We conducted numerical simulations to demonstrate the selective coupling features of the designed wave transducers and found difference of several orders of magnitude in voltages between targeting wave mode and other wave modes. Four selected wave transducers were then extended to monitor the connection status of the flange. The wave-scattering features in the simulation and WFEM were verified to be in good agreement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20030601","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,21]],"date-time":"2020-01-21T11:25:59Z","timestamp":1579605959000},"page":"601","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Piezoelectric Transducers for Structural Health Monitoring of Joint Structures in Cylinders: A Wave-Based Design Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Wenjun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy and Power Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy and Power Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Aero-Engine Structure and Strength, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8693-0481","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy and Power Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Aero-Engine Structure and Strength, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4918-6120","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhou","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy and Power Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1414","DOI":"10.1088\/0964-1726\/13\/6\/012","article-title":"Practical issues of activating self-repairing bolted joints","volume":"13","author":"Peairs","year":"2004","journal-title":"Smart Mater.
