From the Prognostic and Health Management (PHM) standpoint, the main purpose of the structural health monitoring is to help the maintenance of aircraft structures. Here, aiming at on-line applications, this paper puts forward a new digital impact localization method. Different from traditional processing methods, the new one is achieved in a digital way by turning the outputs of PZT sensors directly into digital queues and localizing the impact occurring area based on the digital queues obtained. Depending on this method, a PZT sensor array based impact monitor with advantages of miniaturized size, low weight and low energy consumption is developed which can meet the strict on-line application requests. Details of the new impact monitor design are presented in this paper. Meanwhile, a series of experiments, including evaluations on complex composite structures, have been conducted to verify the performance of the new digital impact monitor. This new monitor shows its potential for on-line structural PHM applications on aerospace vehicles.
