Abstract Composite structures are attracting more interest due to their outstanding mechanical properties; thus, inspection and health assessment key items for safe use. In this article we present a graphene-based sensor that evaluates the strain generated within composite. A finite element model was developed investigate mechanism driving graphene act as sensor. prototype manufactured, using c...

The aim is to develop a mechanically flexible polymer nanocomposite film-based strain sensors that could act towards sustainable structural health monitoring for civil structures. developed film combinations will be monitored their structural, electrical and mechanical behaviors the optimized formulations tried sensing applications. films were cast by using PVA as base copper doped silver nitra...

This paper is to review the research activities at City University London in the development of a range of fibre Bragg grating (FBG)-based sensors, including strain, temperature, relative humidity, vibration and acoustic sensors, with an aim to meet the increasing demands from industry for structural condition monitoring. As a result, arrays of optical fibre sensors have been instrumented into ...
