Abstract
The growth in the use of composite materials, and the development of more reliable bonding techniques, has led to a desire to reduce the weight of composite structures by using adhesive bonding. However, the integrity of an as-manufactured bonded joint, and the in-service performance of such a joint, is difficult to monitor. The use of embedded optical sensors based on chirped fibre Bragg gratings (CFBGs) will be described, a method which enables both poor adhesive bonds to be detected and the initiation and growth of fatigue damage (in the form of disbonding – also called delamination) to be monitored.
