Graphene sensing meshes for densely distributed strain field monitoring

Abstract: The objective of this study is to design and validate distributed strain field monitoring using a patterned nanocomposite “sensing mesh” that is coupled with an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurement strategy and algorithm. Although EIT has been used in other studies and in conjunction with a piezoresistive thin film for spatial damage detection, different strain components cannot be directly extracted from reconstructed EIT conductivity maps. Therefore, this study seeks to address this issue by pat… Show more

“…The strain gauges used to monitor built infrastructures are large [7,8] and expensive devices [7][8][9] that are difficult to scale down and embed in construction materials. This is particularly true for strain sensors based on optical interference gratings [26].…”

“…Non-destructive evaluation methods [1,2] are sought to activate the self-healing of construction materials [3][4][5][6] to mitigate against material disaggregation, and assist maintenance and rescue efforts. The strain sensors currently used to monitor built infrastructures are however large [7,8] and expensive devices [7][8][9]. These are difficult to scale down to the level of the granular texture of concrete and to insert in building materials.…”

“…Additionally, Loh and colleagues produced piezoresistive meshes on which they monitored strains via EIT. 11,12 With regard to damage sensing via EIT, Nonn et al used EIT to detect and localize impact damage in continuous carbon fiber composites. 13 Cagáň and colleagues also applied EIT to continuous carbon fiber composites, 14,15 including some probability of detection (POD) assessment of EIT.…”

“…Whereas strain magnitudes can be estimated, strain fields (i.e., magnitudes and directionalities) cannot be reconstructed using classical EIT. To address this limitation, a “sensing mesh” composed of directional elements by patterning a nanocomposite coating was developed [ 23 ]. This approach was to configure the nanocomposite coating to form a grid-like pattern so that the strain magnitude along each directional element can be reconstructed from EIT, while their directions were based on the longitudinal axes of the grid’s struts.…”
