Intelligent sensor layout of PVDF structure – borne sound sensors to gain signals mechanically

The content of this paper is a continuation of the work that has been done for the research project “KESS – Konfigurierbares Elektronisches Schadensidentifikationssystem”. In this project a sensor system to detect and classify minor damages in vehicle bodies has been developed. The focus in prior work [1] was mostly regarding the electronics and signal processing of the sensors and the evaluation system.
