This paper describes a modeling of a smart flexible beam patched four piezoelectric materials due to detect the failure, for example, the damage of piezoelectric materials and the breaking wire. Model of the smart flexible beam in case of the failure is expressed by a linear parameter varying system. The output matrix of the object system is affected by damage of piezoelectric materials and breaking wire. Subspace state space identification is adopted in order to detect the failure. Numerical simulation indicates that the failure detection is possible by using proposed method.
