Early Damage Detection in Composites during Fabrication and Mechanical Testing

Early Damage Detection in Composites during Fabrication and Mechanical Testing

Fully integrated monitoring systems have shown promise in improving confidence in composite materials while reducing lifecycle costs. A distributed optical fibre sensor is embedded in a fibre reinforced composite laminate, to give three sensing regions at different levels through-the-thickness of th...
