Composite materials owing to low density and beneficial properties such as high stiffness,
low coefficient of thermal expansion, high mechanical strength, high dimensional stability …

Residual stress is inherent in any fiber reinforced composite, created by the laminates
processing route and high levels of anisotropy. The aim of this article is to provide an up to …

In this paper, cure monitoring of a composite laminate is conducted, followed by subsequent
structural health monitoring (SHM). A distributed optical fibre (DOF) sensor was embedded …

This study is devoted to the damage characterization of Non-Crimp Fabric (NCF), 2D plain-
woven (2D-PW) and 3D orthogonal plain-woven (ORT-PW) carbon/epoxy laminates …

In-situ temperature and strain during copper casting process were monitored for the first time
based on regenerated fiber Bragg grating (RFBG) sensors, with the maximum temperature …

Fully integrated monitoring systems have shown promise in improving confidence in
composite materials while reducing lifecycle costs. A distributed optical fibre sensor is …

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation commonly used for telecommunications,
navigation and food processing. More recently microwave technologies have found …

In this paper, lifetime health monitoring of composites was conducted, included
manufactured monitoring and structural health monitoring. A thin film sensor composed of …

In this work, a multi-level decision fusion strategy is proposed which weighs the Value of
Information (VoI) against the intended functions of a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) …

Measuring the strain history in pre-impregnated thermoset composites during the curing
process provides valuable data for manufacturing specification development, quality control …
