Numerical modelling of EMI for damage detection has been presented in this paper. The PZT model is validated against the published experimental result for free disk and tied to the structure. The numerical modelling of the PZT patch will result in the admittance measure of the structure. The imaginary part of the admittance measure is used for developing a self-diagnostic sensor system. The real part of the admittance measure was used to develop a damage detection algorithm. Damage detection using EMI method was successfully applied to a simple composite disk and a stiffened panel. The EMI method is suitable for short range damage detection in structural parts with limited or no access.
