摘　　要：Guided-wave-based structural health monitoring(SHM)technology is of great importance for real-time inspection of high-temperature structures.The fundamental shear horizontal(SH_(0))wave is believed to be an ideal wave mode for developing SHM systems due to its nondispersive characteristics.However,currently very limited SH_(0)wave transducers can be used for SHM of high-temperature structures due to the limitation of materials.Herein,a novel YSr_(3)(PO_(4))_(3)(YSP)piezoelectric crystal in the space group I43d was grown.Experiments show that the face-shear piezoelectric coefficient d_(14)(d_(14)=d_(25)=d_(36))is 9.7 pC/N and varies little from 25 to 800℃.Then a beam-focused SH_(0)wave piezoelectric transducer is developed based on face-shear-mode YSP wafers.Both finite element simulations and experimental results indicate that the YSP-based transducer can excite pure SH_(0)wave and focus the wave energy along two opposite main directions.Especially,the obtained SH_(0)wave beam is highly concentrated with a small divergence angle of less than 30°,originating from the high working frequency range from 300 to 400 kHz.The excellent temperature stability of the as-grown YSP crystal makes the proposed SH_(0)wave piezoelectric transducer very suitable for SHM of high-temperature structures.
