Abstract: In this research paper, a piezoelectric material is embedded into a composite material in the form of a beam structure. Structural health monitoring system is created to find the mechanical parameters under dynamic loading condition. The finite element simulation software tool is used to predict the failure, deformation and the induced stress during the loading condition. A Multiphysics COMSOL^® tool is used for finite element simulation under dynamic loading condition. A hand calculation is made using coupled constitutive equations for correlation purpose. A piezoceramic (NEPEC 6) material is embedded with different materials and tested under dynamic loading condition that is built with a variable frequency range. The output intensity of spectrum depends on the damage size of the given component. Based on the test results of mechanical properties, the final material is selected. The finite element result reveals that composite materials have better mechanical properties than other materials.
