Real-time in situ sensing of damage evolution in advanced fiber composites using carbon nanotube networks
Abstract
Developments in producing nanostructured materials with novel properties have opened up new opportunities in which unique functionality can be added to existing material systems. As advanced fiber composites are utilized more frequently in primary structural applications there is a key challenge to enhance the performance and reliability while reducing maintenance. As a consequence there is tremendous scientific and technical interest in the development of techniques for monitoring the health of composite structures where real-time sensing can provide information on the state of microstructural damage. In this research we utilize electrically conductive networks of carbon nanotubes as in situ sensors for detecting damage accumulation during cyclic loading of advanced fiber composites. Here we show that, by combining load and strain measurements in real-time with direct current electrical resistance measurements of the carbon nanotube network, insight can be gained toward the evolution and accumulation of damage. The resistance/strain relations show substantial hysteresis due to the formation and opening/closing of cracks during cyclic loading. Through interpreting the resistance response curves we identify a parameter that may be utilized as a quantitative measure of damage.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
