Embedding FBG strain sensors within a GFRP sandwich composite material allows early detection of internal defects. However, the sensors need to survive the manufacturing process to provide this capability. Vacuum infusion is commonly used to manufacture GFRP sandwich composite materials but, it needs to be modified to accommodate the embedding process. A stage by stage procedure is demonstrated here to embed FBG strain sensors between the skin-core interface of a GFRP sandwich beam specimen using the vacuum infusion method. Practical issues relating to sensor placement, fibre alignment, specimen lay-up and resin infusion are discussed. Also, the post cure effects of the resin on the FBG strain sensors are investigated. Static and dynamic load analyses are then performed to verify the repeatability and accuracy of the FBG strain sensors.

Development of strain monitoring system for glass fiber reinforced composites via embedded electrically conductive pathways
Tanabi, Hamed; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve (Informa UK Limited, 2019-06-15)
Among numerous types of health-monitoring and damage-sensing sensors that can be integrated into composites, electrically conductive sensors offer a simple, cost-effective, and durable option for structural health monitoring in fiber reinforced composites. In this study, a novel approach is introduced to create electrical conductive networks in glass fiber reinforced composites. For this purpose, hollow micro-channels are generated using vaporization of sacrificial components (VaSCs) which are subsequently ...
An Approach for the Evaluation of Effective Elastic Properties of Honeycomb Cores by Finite Element Analysis of Sandwich Panels
Aydincak, Ilke; Kayran, Altan (SAGE Publications, 2009-09-01)
Different detailed finite element model alternatives are developed to come up with the most reliable finite element model of the sandwich panel, with the actual honeycomb core geometry, to evaluate the existing equivalent continuum models of aluminum honeycomb cores. Finite element models of sandwich panels with effective elastic constants of the honeycomb core are generated based on the existing continuum models of the honeycomb core. The evaluation of the effective elastic constants of honeycomb cores is ...
Micromechanical modelling of carbon nanotube reinforced composite materials with a functionally graded interphase
Taç, Vahidullah; Gürses, Ercan (SAGE Publications, 2019-12-01)
This paper introduces a new method of determining the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-polymer composites using a multi-inclusion micromechanical model with functionally graded phases. The nanocomposite was divided into four regions of distinct mechanical properties; the carbon nanotube, the interface, the interphase and bulk polymer. The carbon nanotube and the interface were later combined into one effective fiber using a finite element model. The interphase was modelled in a functionally graded m...
A mathematical model for the behavior of laminated uniformly curved glass beams
Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü; YETMEZ, MEHMET; Uzhan, Tevfik (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-01)
Laminated curved glasses as widely used elements in buildings urge to develop a mathematical model for their analysis and safer design. Large deflection theory is necessary in order to predict the true behavior of a laminated curved glass beam consisting of several glass layers bonded by soft interlayer PVB (PolyVinyl Butyral). In the present study, a mathematical model is developed for the analysis of a laminated circular arch or a laminated uniformly curved glass beam which is the special case of the lami...
Developing a trilayer processing technique for superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-delta thin films by using Ge ion implantation
Avci, I; Tepe, M; Oktem, B; Serincan, U; Turan, Raşit; Abukay, D (IOP Publishing, 2005-04-01)
For making trilayer superconducting devices based on YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) thin film processing, we developed a new technique by employing Ge ion implantation. A YBCO thin film of 150 nm thickness having high c-axis orientation and a transition temperature, T, of 90 K was implanted with 80 keV, 1 x 10(16) Ge ions cm(-2) at room temperature. By the result of TRIM calculation, Ge ions were found to penetrate into the YBCO thin film approximately 60 nm below the surface of the film, thus leaving the lower par...
