This paper reviews recent works on the application of nanofibers and nanoparticle
reinforcements to enhance the interlaminar fracture toughness, to reduce the impact induced …

The paper presents a detection sensitivity analysis for a novel approach to monitoring
fatigue crack growth. A carbon nanotube (CNT) sensor was used based on a potential drop …

The present research targets hot-spot monitoring for ageing aircraft. The sensor itself is a
sheet of CNT sandwiched between two electrically isolating adhesive layers. Any growth of …

There are emerging sensor technologies that will be deployed in future rotorcraft or
retrofitted to existing rotorcraft and aircraft for structural diagnostics and prognostics. The …
