Monitoring the Damage State of Fiber Reinforced Composites Using an FBG Network for Failure Prediction

Monitoring the Damage State of Fiber Reinforced Composites Using an FBG Network for Failure Prediction

A structural health monitoring (SHM) study of biaxial glass fibre-reinforced epoxy matrix composites under a constant, high strain uniaxial fatigue loading is performed using fibre Bragg grating (FBG) optical sensors embedded in composites at various locations to monitor the evolution of local strai...
