  IoT-Based Structural Health Monitoring and Damage Detection in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Structures

  By Seemanthini K., Medikonda Swapna, Abrar Ahmed Syed, Swarna Kuchibhotla, Pritam Paul, Sivabalakrishnan R.

  Abstract: Applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite in the aerospace, civil infrastructure and renewable energy systems are increasing due to the fact that the composite possesses high ratio of strength to weight and can resist corrosion. However, processes of internal damages such as the cracking of the matrix, delamination and fiber fracture, are likely to take place without being visible on the surface and therefore a periodic check of the structure …
