Experimental study On Dynamic Behavior of woven carbon fabric laminates using in-house piezoelectric sensors - IOPscience
iezoelectric Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers are produced through the electrospinning process and then characterized to examine their morphology, crystal structures, and thermal behavior for usage as an in-house strain sensor. Characterization results confirm that electrospinning of PVDF fibers promotes the formation of β-phase which is an electro-active phase for piezoelectricity. Load controlled dynamic flexural tests are performed on woven carbon fabric composites with embedded and surface mounted PVDF sensors to study the capability of these sensors for monitoring the fatigue life of composite materials. .....
