Preparation and performance characterization of intelligent woven composites embedded with distributed fiber optic sensors
Advanced composite materials play a critical role in enhancing the lightweight performance of high-end equipment structures. However, during service, composite structures may experience various forms of damage, posing threats to structural safety. Aiming to meet future demands for integrated structural health monitoring and load-bearing capabilities in composite structures, this study investigates intelligent woven composite structures embedded with distributed fiber optic sensors. A high-efficiency, low-damage preparation method for hybrid preforms combining optical fibers and quartz fibers was developed, based on the weavability study of optical fibers. A mold with fiber optic sensor outlet protection was designed, and intelligent composite specimens with embedded distributed fiber optic sensors were fabricated using the resin transfer molding process. The effects of embedded optical fiber on the tensile and interlaminar shear properties of the composites were evaluated, and three-point bending test was conducted on the specimen to validate its load-bearing performance and strain self-sensing capabilities. This work can provide technical support for the development of intelligent composite structures that integrate health monitoring and load-bearing functionalities.
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.
