The use of composite structures in engineering applications has proliferated over the past few decades. This is mainly due to their distinct advantages of high structural performance, high corrosion resistance, and high strength/weight ratio. They are however prone to fibre breakage, matrix cracking and delaminations which are often invisible. Although there are systems to detect such damage, the...
The virtues of having sensors in manufactured goods for increased functionality purposes have been well documented. Benefits include sophisticated structures requiring less maintenance and repair, increased safety and reliability, and avoidance of 'over design'. Though many schemes of sensing are available, these so-called 'smart' products in the near future, will increasingly rely on the optical...
