Abstract
In this work, terahertz time‐domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) was applied to monitor strain distribution as a function of mechanical loading through a passive composite sensor. The composite sensor was made up of strontium titanate (STO) particles. Strain distribution was measured by analysing the change in THz pulse amplitude while it passes through the composite sensor. The change in THz pulse amplitude is related to change in dielectric permittivity. The change in dielectric permittivity induced in the STO composite layer due to deformation leads to a change in the time of arrival (ToA) of the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) in THz band. This change in the sub‐millimetre domain is correlated to the strain and can be mapped for reproducing strain distribution around different geometries. The measurements of strain mapping are compared with finite element simulations and digital image correlation (DIC) measurements, showing similar strain contours.
期刊介绍:
Strain is an international journal that contains contributions from leading-edge research on the measurement of the mechanical behaviour of structures and systems. Strain only accepts contributions with sufficient novelty in the design, implementation, and/or validation of experimental methodologies to characterize materials, structures, and systems; i.e. contributions that are limited to the application of established methodologies are outside of the scope of the journal. The journal includes papers from all engineering disciplines that deal with material behaviour and degradation under load, structural design and measurement techniques. Although the thrust of the journal is experimental, numerical simulations and validation are included in the coverage.
Strain welcomes papers that deal with novel work in the following areas:
experimental techniques
non-destructive evaluation techniques
numerical analysis, simulation and validation
residual stress measurement techniques
design of composite structures and components
impact behaviour of materials and structures
signal and image processing
transducer and sensor design
structural health monitoring
biomechanics
extreme environment
micro- and nano-scale testing method.
