Tailoring Piezoimpedance Surface and Configurations of Carbon Nanotube Yarn Sensors for Integrated Damage Detection in Composite Materials
Abstract
To tailor the surface and piezoimpedance response of carbon nanotube yarn sensors that are integrated in composite materials for damage detection of any specified size and location (1) Determine the coupled mechanical and frequency dependent electrical response of carbon nanotube yarns and the corresponding strain gauge factors. (2);Investigate surface modification techniques of the carbon nanotube yarns for integration in laminated composite materials; (3) Investigate and develop sensor yarn configurations in laminated composite materials to detect damage of any specific dimensions and location.
