Application of small-diameter FBG sensors for detection of damages in composites

Small-diameter fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been developed by Hitachi Cable Ltd. and the authors. Since the outside diameter of polyimide coating is 52 micrometers , embedding of the sensors into carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites prepregs of 125 micrometers in thickness does not deteriorate the mechanical properties of the composite laminates. In this research, the small-diameter FBG sensor was applied for the detection of transverse cracks in CFRP composites. The FBG sensor was embedded in 0 degree(s) ply of a CFRP cross-ply laminate.
