“…An example of an embedded sensor is a fiber optic sensor (Mitrovic and Carman, 1994;Takeda, 2000). An example of a self-sensing material is a polymer-matrix composite that contains a special reinforcing continuous fiber in the form of a cladded glass fiber, which acts as the light guide (Hayes et al, 1996(Hayes et al, , 1997Brooks et al, 1997;Zolfaghar et al, 1998;Kister et al, 2004). Another example of a self-sensing material is a polymer-matrix composite that contains continuous carbon fiber, the electrical conductivity of which allows self-sensing through electrical resistance measurement (Ceysson, et al, 1995;Kemp et al, 1996;Wang and Chung, 1997a,b, 1998aYanagida, 2000;Abry and Choi, 2001;Kupke et al, 2001;Wang and Chung, 2002;Chung and Wang, 2003;Wang et al, 2005a).…”

Self-sensing of damage, as attained by electrical resistance measurement, was found to be effective in a carbon fiber polymer–matrix composite cylinder made by filament winding. Resistance was measured in the axial, radial, oblique, and circumferential directions by using circumferential or axial electrical contacts on the outer and/or inner surfaces of the cylinder. Minor damage upon drop impact at 10 J or below caused the radial resistance to decrease irreversibly, whereas major damage upon drop impact above 10 J caused the radial, oblique, and axial resistances to increase irreversibly. The circumferential resistance ratio (ratio of the circumferential resistance of a damaged area to that away from the damaged area) was most sensitive, increasing monotonically with impact energy >1.4 J.

Structurally integrated sensors which are capable of continuous structural health monitoring represent an attractive option in view of their potential for providing real-time assessment/ warning of structural damage. In recent years, optical fiber systems have attracted a considerable amount of attention and have been shown to be a very attractive option for health monitoring in advanced composite materials. These sensors have either been embedded or surfacebonded to the host material thereby allowing continuous assessment of the health of the structure. Structural health assessment takes the form of damage detection and/or monitoring of specific health indicators. In the former approach, the optical fiber systems are generally optimized to increase their sensitivity to the presence of damage in the composite structure, while the latter approach relies on the examination of characteristic changes in the monitored parameter to infer a loss in structural integrity. To this end, many investigators have demonstrated the potential of optical fiber sensors, most particularly intensity-based optical fiber systems and fiber Bragg grating sensors for structural health monitoring of advanced composite materials. The initial part of this paper provides an up-to-date review of the applications of optical fiber sensors in composite materials, focussing particularly on the use of intensitybased optical fiber systems and fiber Bragg grating sensors for damage detection. These optical fiber systems have been shown to be capable of detecting impact damage, transverse cracking, and delamination, and have the ability to monitor strain in structures. The introduction of optical fiber sensors into a composite material can inadvertently produce a geometrical discontinuity in the vicinity of the sensor. Numerous experimental investigations have also been performed to assess the possible reduction in the properties of the host structure. A review of the findings of these investigations reported in the literature is also given. This review article cites 161 references.
