Matrix Crack Detection by an Embedded Polarimetric Sensor
Polarimetric optical fibre sensors have been embedded within the 0DG ply and close to the 0/90 interface of transparent cross-ply GFRP coupons.

Zusammenfassung: | Polarimetric optical fibre sensors have been embedded within the 0DG ply and close to the 0/90 interface of transparent cross-ply GFRP coupons. The laminate ply cracks may initiate and propagate across the coupon when the coupons were subjected to an increasing quasi-static load in a servo-hydraulic testing machine. Crack accumulation have been monitored using a long gauge-length extensometer. The response of the strain signal, the optical signal and the load signal to cracks at different positions in the coupon in relation to the extensometer and optical sensor positions have been acquired and compared by means of video images of the crack growth. The relationship between crack growth and sensor response was demonstrated. The displacement induced by a new transverse crack has been predicted and compared with experimental data. |
