Using a planar EIT as a Structural Health Monitoring method to detect and evaluate the damage to CFRP composite used in aerospace structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) as an imaging technique producing a 2D or 3D impedance image (conductivity or impedivity) of the subject under test. It can be used for delamination detection and evaluating the damage location, size, strain and severity for Structure Health Monitoring (SHM) of aerospace composites i.e. Carbon-fibrereinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Keywords—Electrical Impedance Tomography, Structural Health Monitoring, Damage detection, CFRP

Research in Sensibility of Locating Damage Methods Based on Mode Shape to Damage Intensity
Structural health monitoring and damage detection is one of the most important subjects for mechanic and aerospace engineers. Structural fault can cause uncompensated problems for both human and environment. There are several methods for solving this problem, but the most useful methods are those which focuse on structural change in the vibrational properties. This paper presents a feasibility ...

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminates are applied to many aerospace structures. For these laminated CFRP structures, it is quite difficult to detect internal damage such as delamination, matrix cracks, and local fiber breakages. Carbon fibers are adopted as reinforcement in CFRP and it is an excellent electric conductor at the same time. The carbon fiber has been used as a strain sen...
