Abstract:In this paper, in order to distinguish the influence of both interface debonding defect and the mesoscale structure of concrete core on the stress wave field and the response of an embedded Piezoelectric-lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) sensor in rectangular concrete filled steel tube (RCFST) members efficiently, a two dimensional (2D) mesoscale numerical concrete homogenization approach for concrete core considering the random distribution of circular, elliptical and irregular polygonal aggregates is proposed firstly. Then, mesoscale simulation on stress wave fields within the cross-section of RCFST members with and without interface debonding defects using both mesoscale models and their homogenization models are carried out, respectively. The effect of both mesoscale structure of concrete core and the interface debonding defects on the stress wave field of each member is discussed and the efficiency of the homogenization approach is illustrated. Therefore, the time-domain response of an PZT sensor embedded in the concrete core of RCFST members coupled with PZT patches under sweep frequency excitation signal is determined with multi-physics field simulation and compared when both mesoscale models and their homogenization models are used. Then, the sensitivity of the wavelet packet energy of the embedded PZT sensor response on the variation of both mesoscale structure of concrete core and the dimension of interface debonding defects is investigated in details. Finally, in order to illustrate the difference in the significance of the effect of interface debonding defect and the mesoscale structure of concrete core on stress wave propagation, comparative test with a set of RCFST members without and with interface debonding defects is carried out. Test results also show that the influence of interface debonding defects on embedded PZT sensor response and the stress wave fields is dominant. The detectability of interface debonding detection approach using stress wave measurement is illustrated efficiently with the proposed equivalent homogenization mesoscale modelling approach even the mesoscale structure of the concrete core is considered.

Dr. Bin Xu is currently the Minjiang Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering, a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government, at Huaqiao University, Xiamen, China. He currently is the Director and Founder of the Key Laboratory for Intelligent Infrastructure and Monitoring (IIM) of Fujian Province, and the Director and Founder of the International Centre for Safety and Sustainability of Civil Engineering at Huaqiao University.
Before joining Huaqiao University, he was a Lotus Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering (a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government) at Hunan University from 2005 to 2016 and was also the associate dean of the College of Civil Engineering at Hunan University from 2010 to 2016. He was also the Director of the Hunan Provincial Key Lab on Damage Prognosis for Engineering Structures from 2015 to 2016 at Hunan University. He taught and carried out research at the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University as a Curtis Visiting Professor appointed by Purdue University in 2014-2015 academic year. He had been invited and financially support by European Commission to work at Sapienza University of Roma in 2010 and hired by University of Western Australia as a Gledden Visiting Senior Fellow from 2007 to 2008. Before starting working in China in 2005, he worked at University of Missouri-Rolla in US as a Post-Doc from 2003 to 2005 and at Ibaraki University in Japan as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellow from 2001 to 2003.
He has been the supervisor of 7 Ph.D., 1 Post-Doc, 4 international visiting students and over 60 MS students. All of his PhD students are working at universities. Dr. Xu has committed to securing competitive external funds to support programs, research, and labs. He has been the PI and Co-PI of 14 competitive government funded research projects including a China- European Commission international collaborative research project, an international collaborative research project between National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and National Natural Science Foundation (NSF) of US, and a number of NSFC research projects. He is also the recipient of Grant-in-aid of 7 talent programs sponsored by China Ministry of Education (CMoE) and other government agencies.
He also serves on various academic societies as Editor-in-Chief, Executive Editor, Associate Editor, Guest Editor or editorial board member for international journals and professional committees as Standing Committee Member, Executive Member or Committee Members.
