Abstract
This study proposes an innovative method to monitor the icing on the surface of composite materials by using carbon nanosensors. The simulated icing experiment at −20 °C shows that the sensor can effectively detect the icing condition by measuring the resistance change rate (∆R/R0), which proves the feasibility of the sensor for icing monitoring. The electrothermal performance of the sensor is analyzed ( 2 V, 184.7 °C), which proves that it has the ability of icing monitoring and de-icing, and the de-icing mechanism is verified by theoretical calculation. Additionally, the damage evolution of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) riveted structures under tensile loads was monitored using the sensor. Static single-lap tensile failure experiments with different rivet strengths evaluated the sensor’s sensitivity in detecting damage accumulation at the rivet head and pier head. The results, along with Optical Microscope (OM) analysis, revealed the damage locations and underlying mechanisms. This research achieves multi-functional sensor integration for icing monitoring, electric heating de-icing, and structural health monitoring, providing crucial support for composite materials in extreme climate conditions.
