We have developed a novel fiber-optic vibration sensors and applied commercially available strain and temperature sensors to health monitoring of composite structures. In this study, we constructed an optical fiber network integrating four types of optical fiber sensor into a carbon reinforced plastic (CFRP) panel. These four sensors were the vibration sensor developed by our laboratory, two distributed sensors based on Brillouin and Raman backscattering and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors. By dealing the data obtained from the measurement systems corresponding to these four sensors, strain/stress and temperature distributions throughout the panel can be monitored. Vibration and elastic waves transmitting on the panel are also detected at several sensing points. Furthermore, we will be able to determine damage locations and modes by processing the wave signals. To make the panel with the optical fiber sensor network more sensitive and smarter, we are developing some techniques that can improve the performance of the sensors and can assess the structural integrity by analyzing measurement results. In this paper, the development of the first generation of our smart composite panel with the optical fiber sensors is described and the techniques making the panel more sensitive and smarter are also described.

Composite Vessel

The main purpose of the work was development of high-pressure composite vessel for hydrogen storage (type IV, CFRC) with an integrated Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system, based on optical fiber sensors. It has been assumed that this NDE system should provide for continuous and reliable monitoring of the structure during its long operation and enable estimation of degradation degree of the composite vessel load-carrying layer, and by that determination of its safe operation period. Showing suitability of the system for control of the vessels manufacturing technology and fulfilling the requirements of vessel certification standards has been also considered essential. It has been expected, that reaching the work goals required application of measurement methods based at fibre optic sensors with particular consideration for the Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBG). These transducers allowed for integration with the monitored object and were embedded in the composite material structure without influencing its mechanical properties. The research object were prototype vessels for Hydrogen storage in automotive applications, with nominal working pressures up to 700 bars. FBG sensors were integrated with COPV during manufacturing process (winding by robot). It allowed for controlling of each manufacturing steps (winding each layer, curing, hydraulic test) and further use during vessel normal operation. Additional investigations were dedicated to evaluation of SHM strategy, which allows for detection of damages in the vessel structure from manufacturing process through the whole lifespan. The proposed SHM solution was validated during pressure cycle test, which were performed according to the current regulations (EC 406/2010).
