摘要
A sensor embedded in the composite laminate can act as a temperature transducer during the composite cure mechanism. Once the composite is cured, the same sensor can be used to provide the information about the mechanical changes that influence the performance of the material. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor is one such sensor which one can use for the composite cure monitoring. We present here the results obtained with an associated FBG sensor system for the cure monitoring of smart composites. The performance of the embedded FBG sensor smart composite specimens under 3- and 4-point bending conditions are also being investigated. Finally, the performance analysis has been extended to cantilever specimens. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
