This paper paves the way for a multi-damage monitoring system for composite structures. The final goal of this work being to design a monitoring system able to predict the damage in the composite structure under static and fatigue loading. This system will be based on the simultaneous use of measurement and damage predicting models. We describe the first step of this work, which consists in the use of electro-mechanical impedance measurement to detect delamination. An electro-mechanical model of a beam into which delamination has been introduced is presented and compared with experimental results. The influence of geometrical parameters is studied and future improvements of our method are outlined.
To meet the expectations of French GPs willing to participate in primary care research, it is advisable to diversify studies with respect to their types, domains and themes. Linkage to universities and research networks should also be encouraged.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
