Optical Sensing of the Fatigue Damage State of CFRP under Realistic Aeronautical Load Sequences

Optical Sensing of the Fatigue Damage State of CFRP under Realistic Aeronautical Load Sequences

We present an optical sensing methodology to estimate the fatigue damage state of structures made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), by measuring variations on the surface roughness. Variable amplitude loads (VAL), which represent realistic loads during aeronautical missions of fighter aircr...
