In this study, a drone based structural health monitoring technique is introduced which uses a piezoelectric (PZT) transducer attached to a drone. With the PZT transducer, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) method is modified to be attached and re-attached onto a structure for damage identification. Since one of the possible principle technology is to keep the tube structure safe from damage, the idea introduced in this study opens up new possibilities of monitoring the integrity of the Hyperloop structure.
