Mechanical and optical performance evaluations of embedded polyimide and PEEK coated distributed optical sensors in glass fibre reinforced composites with vinyl ester resin systems
Abstract:Embedded optical fibre sensors (OFSs) offer the potential to monitor the internal strains at various stages during the manufacturing and service life of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite structures. Various aspects associated with the embedment of OFSs, such as integration, material compatibility, and sensing performance of the embedded sensor needs to be investigated to develop reliable OFSs based internal sensing platform for composite structures. In this study, Polyimide (PI) and Polyether ether keto… Show more
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.
