“…The EIS test shows the complex-plane impedance plot and it also shows the electrical parameters and allows equivalent circuit modeling of the sensor based on the frequency response. Electrical modeling of CNTs can be a combination of resistance, inductance and capacitance (R, L and C, respectively) [39][40][41][42][43][44] elements. The electrical properties of buckypaper and the composite strain sensor can be modeled as Randles' circuit which is an equivalent parallel RC circuit representing each component at the interface and in the solution during an electrochemical reaction.…”

A carbon nanotube polymer material was used to form a piezoresistive strain sensor for structural health monitoring applications. The polymer improves the interfacial bonding between the nanotubes. Previous single walled carbon nanotube buckypaper sensors produced distorted strain measurements because the van der Waals attraction force allowed axial slipping of the smooth surfaces of the nanotubes. The polymer sensor uses larger multi-walled carbon nanotubes which improve the strain transfer, repeatability and linearity of the sensor. An electrical model of the nanotube strain sensor was derived based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and strain testing. The model is useful for designing nanotube sensor systems. A biomimetic artificial neuron was developed by extending the length of the sensor. The neuron is a long continuous strain sensor that has a low cost, is simple to install and is lightweight. The neuron has a low bandwidth and adequate strain sensitivity. The neuron sensor is particularly useful for detecting large strains and cracking, and can reduce the number of channels of data acquisition needed for the health monitoring of large structures.

“…These properties make CNTs possibly the material of choice for designing smart materials and sensors for strain and chemical sensing. In particular, CNTs have strain dependent RLC properties [15,16] that can be used to make miniature sensors and large scale sensor systems. Furthermore, CNT based structural sensor has a multifunctional sensing properties which can reduce the number of sensor to monitor the structure and that may save the cost for SHM [17].…”

This study introduces a nano smart material to develop a novel sensor for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of mechanical and civil systems. Mechanical, civil, and environmental systems need to become self-sensing and intelligent to preserve their integrity, optimize their performance, and provide continuous safety for the users and operators. Present smart materials and structures have fundamental limitations in their sensitivity, size, cost, ruggedness, and weight. Smart materials developed using nanotechnology have the potential to improve the way we generate and measure motion in devices from the nano to the macro scale in size. Among several possible smart nanoscale materials, Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) have aroused great interest in the research community because of their remarkable mechanical, electrochemical, piezoresistive, and other physical properties. To address the need for new intelligent sensing based on CNT, this study presents piezoresistivity and electrochemical properties and preliminary experiments that can be applied for SHM. This study is anticipated to develop a new multifunctional sensor which can simultaneously monitor strain, stress and corrosion on a structure with a simple electric circuit.
