Smart Textiles for In Situ Monitoring of Composites
Description
Key Features
- Proposes a ‘smart textile’ approach to in situ monitoring of the structural health of composites where the composite structure’s functionalized reinforcement also plays a role
- Discusses the impact of this technology on different reinforcement materials and matrices
- Demonstrates, through a review of research and case studies, the implementation of sensing and measurement systems
Readership
Researchers, technicians, engineers, R&D managers in textile companies and downstream sectors such as automotive, aerospace, other forms of transport, civil engineering
