PZT sensor with mini pole is used widely in Lamb wave based damage monitoring for its miniaturization, convenient installation and connection. Directivity exists in the actuating and sensing of Lamb wave because of the structural character of this type PZT sensor, which was usually ignored and introduced errors in the quantitative damage monitoring. Based on the analysis of the effective electric field, directivity in the actua- ting of Lamb wave was analyzed so that the curve of amplitude to angle was obtained which was validated exper- imentally. The analysis and experimental results show the variety of the amplitude of signals actuated by the sensor. It is helpful for the damage monitoring and quantitatively evaluation.
