FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER (FRP) MULTIFUNCTIONAL COMPOSITES

AND SMART STRUCTURES 

RESEARCH CAPABILITIES BEING DEVELOPED IN THE PROJECT:

CAPABILITY 1

DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-DIAGNOSTICS CAPABILITIES OF THE COMPOSITE 

through the introduction of electroconductive CNTs in the composite’s matrix during the manufacturing process. In this case the composite structure becomes a “sensor” based on the introduced CNTs which form a conductive percolating network remarkably sensitive to initial stages of matrix-dominated failure.

EMBEDDING PZT SENSORS, ENCAPSULATED IN VELIS, IN THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE

CAPABILITY 2

PZT sensors encapsulation into veils will ensure their accurate placement in the structure and to protect them in service. NDI techniques will be used to validate the quality of the laminate.
