Abstract
Multi-damage detection for composite materials has been a hot issue in the field of structural health monitoring. In order to further study the problem by means of FBG sensors, an optical fiber sensing system has been built to enable the detection of delamination damage in composite laminates. The system includes sensing strain, data processing and damage localization algorithms. A model of a carbon fiber/epoxy laminate is created using the finite element analysis. The stress cloud chart of the laminate when subjected to a hammering load is calculated and analyzed and it is concluded that stress waves propagate along 45 degree direction of carbon fiber and stress is concentrated at the delamination and then decreased obviously. The Fourier transform and wavelet transform are used to analyse the key level signal of the wavelet transform and to determine the area of delamination damage, and the experiment is checked by ultrasonic C-scan. The experimental results show that by building a network of fibre Bragg gratings(FBG) sensing systems, the hammering test can detect multi-delamination damages of different sizes in composite laminates, the smallest of which is 10mm in diameter, providing a basis for subsequent composite structures health monitoring in complex environments.
