Stress Sensing

Wireless sensor networks are the future development direction for realizing an Internet of Things society and have been applied in bridges, buildings, spacecraft, and other areas. Nevertheless, with application expansion, the requirements for material performance also increase. Although the development of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) to achieve these functions is challenging, it has attracted attention because of its excellent performance. This study combined the CFRP electrode with epoxy resin containing potassium sodium niobate piezoelectric nanoparticles and successfully polarized the composite sample. Furthermore, a three-point bending method was applied to compare the bending behavior of the samples. The peak output voltage produced by the maximum bending stress of 98.4 MPa was estimated to be 0.51 mV. Additionally, a conversion efficiency of 0.01546% was obtained. The results showed that the piezoelectric resin with CFRPs as the electrode exhibited stress self-inductance characteristics. This study is expected to be applied in manufacturing self-sensing piezoelectric resin/CFRP composite materials, paving the way for developing stable and efficient self-sensing structures and applications.

The present work investigates the wear properties of nanoclay-modified carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites when sliding under adhesive and abrasive wear. The specimens were fabricated using epoxy resin, short carbon fiber, and nanoclay filler of 1.0wt%, 3.0wt%, and 5.0wt% content. The wear tests were conducted using pin-on-disc and abrasion resistance test rig for adhesive and abrasive wear condition, respectively. Operating parameters were fixed at 30N load, 300rpm speed and 10km distance for both tests. Pure CFRP composite exhibited lower wear performance compared to pure epoxy in both test conditions. However, with nanoclay incorporation, the wear properties of CFRP composite have improved up to 56% and 44% under adhesive and abrasive wear, respectively. Therefore, the composite reinforced polymer of carbon fiber and nanoclay filler in epoxy matrix provides a synergistic effect under adhesive and abrasive wear conditions. The experimental findings suggest that the CFRP composite has the potential for tribological components and application such as sliding-contact and rolling-contact bearings.

This paper presents an investigation on the mechanical properties of bamboos Mao Zhu (Phyllostachys Pubescens) strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and used as the substitute of steel substructures for a low carbon construction. At first, a series experimental study is carried out to investigate the compressive strength, bending strength and tensile strength of Mao Zhu, which is strengthened with CFRP by different ways. Then the mechanical properties of bamboos with different strengthening methods of CFRP are compared. The most efficient strengthening method is suggested for the carbon fiber strengthened bamboos, with such method the compressive strength and bending strength of Mao Zhu could be increased more than 30% and 44% compared with that of Mao Zhu without strengthening. Finally this paper discusses the advantages of the carbon fiber strengthened bamboos used as the substitutes of the steel substructures, for example the purlins and bracings of steel portal frame structures. The effective use of the bamboos as the substitutes of steel substructures will reduce the steel amount used in the steel portal frame structure, which is commonly used as low-rise factory building structure worldwide.
