COMPOSITE STRUCTURE WITH OPTICAL FIBER EMBEDDED IN ONE OF ITS SURFACE LAYERS AND A PROCESS FOR ITS CONNECTION AND REPAIR

The invention relates to a composite structure (11) formed by a plurality of layers (13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23) including an optical fiber (25) for structural monitoring purposes which is at least partly embedded in a surface layer (13) of said structure (11), and insulation means of the optical fiber...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a composite structure (11) formed by a plurality of layers (13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23) including an optical fiber (25) for structural monitoring purposes which is at least partly embedded in a surface layer (13) of said structure (11), and insulation means of the optical fiber (25) areas susceptible to repair with respect to the surface layer (13) in which they are integrated, particularly a protective cover (27) and top and bottom separating films (31, 33), and a process of repairing said areas comprising the following steps: removing the protective cover (27) and the top separating film (31), extracting the area, repairing the optical fiber, relocating the area and providing a new protective cover (27). L'invention concerne une structure (11) de matériau composite formée d'une pluralité de couches (13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23), et qui comprend une fibre optique (25) utilisée à des fins de contrôle de la structure, et qui est, au moins en partie, intégrée dans une couche superficielle (13) de ladite structure (11), et des moyens d'isolation des zones de la fibre optique (25) susceptibles de nécessiter une réparation au niveau de la couche superficielle (13), dans laquelle sont notamment intégrées une enveloppe de protection (27) et des pellicules de séparation supérieure et inférieure (31, 33). L'invention concerne également un procédé de réparation desdites zones qui consiste à éliminer l'enveloppe de protection (27) et la pellicule de séparation supérieure (31), à extraire ladite zone de la structure, à réparer la fibre optique, à repositionner la zone et à fournir une nouvelle enveloppe de protection.
