In carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite, the alignment of continuous carbon fibers guides the directional flow of eddy currents, which is beneficial to the structural and damage detection. In this study, for the purpose of impact damage repair, the transmitter-receiver (T-R) and the flat-tangent eddy current probes are used to determine the fiber orientations and stacking sequence in the CFRP laminate by surface scanning. Theoretical analysis shows that the T-R probe can flexibly pick up the magnetic field generated by the stretched eddy current in CFRP layers. In the meanwhile, the flat-tangent probe possesses layer selective characteristics. By calculating the fiber distribution images of individual directions based on two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (2D-FFT) and comparing the order of pixel intensity values of these images, the fiber orientation and the stacking sequence in the laminate plates can be obtained simultaneously, which provides guidance for damage detection and repair of the CFRP structures.

This paper investigates the working performance of reinforcement concrete (RC) beams strengthened by Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) with different anchoring under bending moment, based on the structural stressing state theory. The measured strain values of concrete and Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) sheet are modeled as generalized strain energy density (GSED), to characterize the RC beams’ stressing state. Then the Mann–Kendall (M–K) criterion is applied to distinguish the characteristic loads of structural stressing state from the curve, updating the definition of structural failure load. In addition, for tested specimens with middle anchorage and end anchorage, the torsion applied on the anchoring device and the deformation width of anchoring device are respectively set parameters to analyze their effects on the reinforcement performance of CFRP sheet through comparing the strain distribution pattern of CFRP. Finally, in order to further explore the strain distribution of the cross-section and analyze the stressing-state characteristics of the RC beam, the numerical shape function (NSF) method is proposed to reasonably expand the limited strain data. The research results provide a new angle of view to conduct structural analysis and a reference to the improvement of reinforcement effect of CFRP.
