Abstract
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technology is a critical technique for ensuring the safe service of composite structures. In SHM of composite structures, the embedding methods, monitoring principles, and signal transmission approaches of sensors are the key factors determining the reliability of monitoring results. This paper summarizes and compares sensors applied in SHM of composites, including piezoelectric sensors, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors, Carbon nanotube (CNT) sensors, and MXene sensors. It analyzes the classification, working principles, suitable monitoring scenarios, and the latest research progress of different sensors. Additionally, the paper proposes suitable embedding methods for different structures and monitoring environments, summarizes the current limitations of different sensors applied to SHM of composites, and suggests improvement strategies based on the sensor’s own synthetic properties, distribution location, and monitoring techniques. Finally, it provides an outlook on the future development directions of sensor technology for composites.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
