Cure Monitoring of Composite Laminates Using Fiber Optic Sensors

광섬유 센서를 이용한 복합재료 적층판의 성형 모니터링


Abstract

In this paper, we present the simulataneous monitoring of the strain and temperature during cures f various composite laminates using fiber Bragg grating/extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (FBG/EFPI) hybrid sensors. Three types of graphite/epoxy composite were used : a undirectional laminate, a symmetric cross-ply laminate, and a fabric laminate. Two FBG/EFPI hybrid sensors were embedded in each laminate at different directions and different locations. We performed the real time monitoring of fabrication strains and temperatures at two points within the composite laminates during cure process in an autoclave. Throuhg these experiments, FBG/EFPI sensors proved to be an efficient choice for smart cure monitoring of composite structures.

광섬유 브래그 격자/외부 패브리-페로 간섭 (FBG/EFPI) 복합 센서를 이용하여 여러 가지 복합재료 적층판의 성형과정 동안 발생하는 변형률과 온도를 동시에 모니터링하였다. 일방향 적층판, 대칭 직교 적층판, 그리고 평직 적층판에 대하여 각각 두개씩의 FBG/EFPI 센서를 방향과 위치를 달리하여 삽입하고 오토클레이브 내에서의 성형 동안 복합재료 적층판 내부의 두 지점에서의 성형변형률과 온도를 실시간으로 측정하였다. 이러한 실험들을 통해 FBG/EFPI 센서는 보합재료 구조물 성형시의 스마트 모니터링에 효율적임을 알 수 있었다.
