Multifunctional composite: Reinforcing fibreglass bundle for deformation self-sensing

Abstract: Our goal was to develop a multifunctional continuous glass fibre reinforced epoxy matrix composite, in which deformation is measured with the use of an arbitrarily chosen fibre bundle. To do this, we made the reinforcing fibre bundle suitable for transmitting light and showed that the intensity of light transmitted by the illuminated bundles changes as a result of deformation. This way, the reinforcing rovings of the composite can become a health monitoring sensor indicating external load.

“…Sensing technology plays an important role in structural health monitoring, since in-service monitoring can provide real-time information to improve the safety and performance of engineering structures. Various sensors with different working principles have been proposed for structural health monitoring [1,2]. Traditional strain or temperature sensors such as a strain gauge and thermocouple mainly rely on electrical working principles to detect strain or temperature.…”
