Abstract
The paper aimed to investigate the performance of multi-walled carbon nanotube-coated GF (MWCNT@GF) sensors on interlayer shear damage monitoring and sensing capability of glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) based on the resistance change under short beam shear (SBS) load. The MWCNT@GF sensor, manufactured by physical vapor deposition (PVD), was embedded into the neutral layer of laminates to form an in-situ sensing network. With the help of Keithley 2700 programmable electrometer and the 3D-digital image correlation(3D-DIC), monotonic and cyclic tests were carried out. The monotonic test found that the off-axis sensor is more sensitive to shear failure than the on-axis sensor because of its lower shear strength. Furthermore, the relative resistance under the first 20 cyclic loads was similar to that under monotonic loads, which shows that the sensor has superior sensing ability. Finally, the quantitative relation between shear damage and relative resistance was established. That means MWCNT@GF sensors can be used to reasonably evaluate the damage state and further evaluate the service performance, reliability and remaining life of the structure.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
