Abstract Scope |
The utilization of reinforced fiber polymer (RFP) composites is steadily rising across diverse applications. Nonetheless, owing to their intricate failure mechanisms, the continuous monitoring of the health of composite parts becomes imperative, especially in high-end applications like aerospace. Integrating piezoresistive sensors onto RFP composites facilitates real-time data collection and monitors the health status of the composite component. In this work, we focused on integrating carbon nanostructure-based piezoresistive wire and wireless sensors onto glass reinforced fiber polymer (GRFP) composites. Our research involves designing the wire and wireless sensors and experimentally validating their performance. By subjecting the composites to various mechanical stimuli such as tensile and compression forces, we were able to investigate the electromechanical performance of the integrated piezoresistive sensors. By correlating the sensing performance of the integrated wire and wireless sensors with the applied forces, we highlighted the sensors’ sensitivity, and reliability. This work provides insights into the development and optimization of carbon nanostructure-based piezoresistive wire and wireless sensors for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. |
