Fatigue crack growth is one of the most common damage mechanisms of structural components and can result in a sudden and unexpected abrupt fracture which can cause catastrophic failure. Thus, monitoring of crack propagation is an important topic of structural health monitoring. For that reason, this work aims at the detection of crack propagation by the application of a high-frequency vibration-based method, using the electromechanical admittance (EMA). It enables the local monitoring of the coupled dynamic behavior of the structure and the piezoelectric transducer which changes, for example, due to damage. It is the purpose of this study to develop a method from the recorded data reflecting fatigue crack growth in weld zones. As it is known that the data are affected by temperature, a temperature compensation strategy is considered. In this study, a presentation of the coupled EMA data has been found, which allows the isolation of the crack propagation effects. Within the scope of fatigue experiments, fatigue cracks were introduced into threaded bolts of rail support points, welded onto base plates. In practice, they are embedded in a layer of mortar and, therefore, have poor accessibility. Electromechanical impedance measurements were carried out at different states of fatigue crack growth. The fatigue crack growth was validated by strain gauge measurements executed during the fatigue experiment. The proposed feature was calculated from the recorded EMA data. The technique produces promising results detecting fatigue cracks and can also be transferred to similar types of welded joints or rods where fatigue crack growth occurs.
