Validation and development of a model to predict the behavior SMA/CFRP hybrid structures
Integrated sensors aid in real time damage detection in structural components of aerospace structures, turbines, prosthesis and automobiles. The application of these sensors starts even before the service life of the product via online monitoring during cure, repairs & lasts beyond its designed life
Keywords: sensors, 3D printing, composites
The requirements for the sensors are: (i) robustness, (ii) resistance to service environment, (iii) accuracy and reliability, and above all (iv) low price and low power consumption. When the sensor is attached to the substrate, the sensor output is directly proportional to the surface displacement.
Sensor incorporation into the structure though adds in more complexity into the fabrication process but improves the robustness and life of the sensor. One disadvantage with embedded sensors can be their replacement upon damage.
