Self-sensing of strain and damage in glass fiber/carbon


nanotube/vinyl ester composites
Aim
To develop a multiscale composite that can sense its strain and damage. The composite will be
specially designed to discern mechanical events occurring at the fiber, matrix or fiber/matrix
interface.

Motivation

To prevent catastrophic failure of polymer composites yielding information of the structural


integrity of the composite in real time.

Electrical resistance approach for strain and damage sensing.
