An Experimental and Numerical Study on the Use of Chirped FBG Sensors for Monitoring Fatigue Damage in Hybrid Composite Patch Repairs

An Experimental and Numerical Study on the Use of Chirped FBG Sensors for Monitoring Fatigue Damage in Hybrid Composite Patch Repairs

In this paper, chirped fibre Bragg grating (CFBG) sensors used to monitor the structural health of a composite patch used to repair an aluminium panel is presented. To introduce damage, a notch was produced at the centre of an aluminium panel. The repair consisted of bonding a pre-cured composite pa...
