“…Passive RFID sensors have the advantages of small size, light weight, low cost, and long service life, and the disadvantages of this technology are mainly the short transmission distance, usually within a few meters. Pavol et al [20] proposed passive RFID tag antennas integrated into aircraft structural glass fiber laminates to detect internal defects (as shown in Figure 7). The results demonstrated the potential of utilizing RFID sensing in fiberglass composite laminates.…”

Cracking is an important factor affecting the performance and life of large structures. In order to maximize personal safety and reduce costs, it is highly necessary to carry out research on crack monitoring technology. Sensors based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) antennas have the advantages of wireless and low cost, which makes them highly competitive in the field of structure health monitoring (SHM). Thus, this study systematically summarizes the research progress of crack monitoring based on RFID technology in recent years. Firstly, this study introduces the causes of cracks and the traditional monitoring methods. Further, this study summarizes several main RFID-based crack monitoring and detection methods, including crack monitoring based on chipless RFID technology, passive RFID technology, and ultra-high-frequency (UHF) RFID technology, including the implementation methods, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of those technologies. In addition, for RFID-based crack monitoring applications, the two most commonly used materials are concrete materials and metal materials, which are also illustrated in detail. In general, this study can provide technical support and a theoretical basis for crack monitoring and detection to ensure the safety of engineering structures.

“…Using the backscatter power, the tag can detect propagation of ultra-high-performance concrete cracks [ 22 , 39 ]. With RFID tags integrated into an aeronautical fiberglass structure, deformation or breakage of the tag can be used to indicate its damage [ 40 ]. Some scholars explored COTS tags for conveyor belt crack monitoring [ 37 , 41 , 42 , 43 ] through RSSI measurements.…”

Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of large-scale structures during their operational lifespan, such as pipelines, railways and buildings. In the last few years, radio frequency identification (RFID) combined with sensors has attracted increasing interest in SHM for the advantages of being low cost, passive and maintenance-free. Numerous scientific papers have demonstrated the great potential of RFID sensing technology in SHM, e.g., RFID vibration and crack sensing systems. Although considerable progress has been made in RFID-based SHM, there are still numerous scientific challenges to be addressed, for example, multi-parameters detection and the low sampling rate of RFID sensing systems. This paper aims to promote the application of SHM based on RFID from laboratory testing or modelling to large-scale realistic structures. First, based on the analysis of the fundamentals of the RFID sensing system, various topologies that transform RFID into passive wireless sensors are analyzed with their working mechanism and novel applications in SHM. Then, the technical challenges and solutions are summarized based on the in-depth analysis. Lastly, future directions about printable flexible sensor tags and structural health prognostics are suggested. The detailed discussion will be instructive to promote the application of RFID in SHM.

“…Unwanted vibrations in the system induce residual stresses in the structure, which reduces its service life [25]. the process of gradual development of microcracks and other material damage contributes to the phenomenon of slow changes in the values of elastic coefficients, strength indices, vibration damping characteristics and other material properties [34,35]. these changes in the case of composites subjected to long-term static and fatigue loads may amount to 10-50% [34].…”

Tensile tests were carried out on three series of composite samples according to the ASTM (American Society for testing and Materials). The materials tested were characterised by using the same manufacturing method. The specimens were hand-laminated using MGS L285/H285 epoxy resin. The feature that differentiates the structure of each laminate series is the type of reinforcement. A biaxial fabric IMS65 CtLX with a 0/90 arrangement was used to reinforce the C-series composite specimens; for the D-series, a symmetrical fabric Interglass 02037 with a 0/90 weave was used, and for the E-series specimens, a modular fabric IMS65 with a 45 weave was used. The share of composites in the manufacture of construction products is steadily increasing. This is due to the development of new technologies for manufacturing composite elements and composites, with properties that are more and more in line with the requirements of the industry resulting from technological progress. Composite products have to meet many performance requirements. Tensile testing is used to determine some of the key mechanical properties of laminates. Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been used in various engineering structures for many decades. Their unique physical and mechanical properties make them a well-known, most produced and most widely used type of composite materials. In the case of fibre composites, it is the fibres that take over the basic stresses and are responsible for achieving the appropriate stiffness and strength, while the matrix ensures optimum use of the properties of the fibres and gives shape to the manufactured element. The mechanical properties of the composite and its failure process are fundamentally dependent on the high strength of the fibres, the stiffness of the matrix and the strength of the fibre-matrix interface.
