“…Current trends in the composite NDT community focus on a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) approach, which consists of using embedded sensors–actuators for in situ and permanent inspection to overcome unpredictable failures through advanced warnings, with the purpose of reducing maintenance costs [ 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 ]. The most commonly embedded sensors used for this purpose are fibre-optic sensors, such as Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBGs) or chirped FBGs (CFBGs) [ 87 ], or piezoelectric sensors [ 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 ], which can even be integrated into a wireless sensor network autonomously powered by an energy harvester [ 89 ]. Implementation of such approaches needs firstly to define the type, number and location of sensors–actuators with a healthy process of integration into the material.…”

Non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are usually used for the characterisation of defects arising in polymer composites during manufacturing or in-service use. However, each of these NDT techniques cannot always allow a full diagnosis of the material’s or component’s structural health. Thus, several techniques have to be combined in order to improve the diagnosis of the damaged state of composite structures and their evolution during the part’s life span. This opinion paper proposes a critical overview of the use and applicability of these NDT techniques for the detection and characterisation of damage to structural composite materials in view of in-service performance assessment and residual durability prognosis. It also addresses some current trends of structural health monitoring (SHM) of these materials, such as sensor–actuator embedding and NDT data fusion, and draws future perspectives on how composite SHM could evolve in the digital era, taking advantage of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and big data to implement digital twins.

“…Developing effective delamination detection techniques for CFRP structures is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable realization of CFRP in various practical applications. Furthermore, CFRP is fabricated into various structural types to meet diverse engineering application needs, such as tubes [27], rods [28], beams [29], winglets [30], and curved structures [31]. As a relatively simple CFRP structure, curved components are widely used in aircraft, spacecraft, and ships [32,33].…”

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are extensively employed in the aerospace industry due to their excellent properties. Delamination damage occurring at critical locations in CFRPs can seriously reduce the safety of in-service components. The detection and localization of delamination damage using Lamb waves hold significant potential for widespread application in non-destructive testing. However, the choice of damage localization algorithm may produce different delamination damage localization results. This research presented an IRAPID (improved reconstruction algorithm for probabilistic inspection of defects) method derived from the RAPID (reconstruction algorithm for probabilistic inspection of defects) method, aiming to improve the accuracy and reliability of delamination damage localization. Three CFRP curved plates, including a healthy curved plate and two curved plates with delamination damage sizes of Φ20 mm and Φ40 mm, were prepared in the experiment. The detection experiment of the CFRP curved plate using lead zirconate titanate (PZT) as a transducer to excite and receive Lamb waves was conducted, and the influence of excitation signal frequency on the performance of the proposed method was discussed. Under the condition of an excitation signal frequency of 220~320 kHz and a step size of 10 kHz, the accuracy of the delamination damage localization method proposed in this paper was compared with that of existing methods. The experimental results indicate that the IRAPID algorithm exhibits good stability in the localization of delamination damage across the range of frequency variations considered. The localization error of the IRAPID algorithm for delamination damage is significantly lower than that of the DaS (delay-and-sum) algorithm and the RAPID algorithm. As the size of the delamination damage increases, so does the localization error. The accuracy of delamination damage localization is lower in the X-axis direction than in the Y-axis direction. By averaging the localization results across various frequencies, we can mitigate the potential localization errors associated with single-frequency detection to a certain extent. For the localization of delamination damage, Lamb waves at multiple frequencies can be employed for detection, and the detection results at each frequency are averaged to enhance the reliability of localization.

“…Along with having high specific mechanical properties, composite materials also offer characteristics that make it possible for them to be used in corrosive, high-pressure, hightemperature (HPHT), and deep-water environments. Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors (PWAS), which can send or receive guided waves for active health monitoring in a pitch-catch configuration, were utilized to instrument a FRP pipe sample [6]. Experimental evaluations of numerous laminated composite samples with varying lay-ups were conducted.…”

Traditional air-conditioning pipes made from materials such as copper and aluminum have limitations in terms of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The use of composite materials offers a promising alternative to overcome these limitations due to improving the mechanical properties of air-conditioning pipes by incorporating composite materials. The paper explores the mechanical properties of composite materials and their potential to enhance the strength, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion of air-conditioning pipes. Whereas gas leakage issues have developed into one of the most significant issues in air conditioning organizations, the solution to these issues looks forward to improving the gas connection pipes in air conditioning companies and enhancing their durability. The goal of the study presented in this research paper is to improve gas pipes by adding insulating and supporting layers to increase the pipe's durability, such as layers of carbon and fiber. Through Simulation, materials have been added at various angles and directions to determine the best accessible condition to improve the condition of the ionization tube. The results revealed that the presence of carbon fiber layers at angles of 45 degrees from the inner diameter and 90 degrees from the outer diameter provides the best accessible condition and results in the least amount of distortion, with the best case's deformation reaching 0.157 meters.
