ABSTRACTStructural Health Monitoring (SHM) takes advantage of the recent advances in nanotechnology and sensing in order to monitor the behavior of a structure, assess its performance and identify damage at an early stage. Monitoring the state of strain throughout an entire structure is essential to determine its state of stress, detect potential residual stresses after fabrication, and also to help to establish its integrity. The Carbon nanotube thread was integrated into three-dimensional braiding materials and used for the first time as a sensor to monitor strain and also to detect damage in the three-dimensional braided composite material.In this paper a literature review about the application of carbon nanotubes thread for sensors and smart materials used for SHM of braiding structures is presented. The test data show the braided angle is important parameter for structural health monitoring of three-dimensional. The research will provide a new integrated and distributed technologies for the built-in carbon nanotube sensor to detect the health of composite. The subject will provide the new idea and method for the development of smart composite materials research and application.

Structural health monitoring for carbon nanotube (CNT)/carbon fiber/epoxy composite was verified by the measurement of electrical resistivity. This study has focused on the preparation of carbon nanotube composite sensors and their application for structural health monitoring. The change of the electrical resistance was measured by a digital multimeter under tensile loads. Although a carbon fiber was broken, the electrical connection was still kept by distributed CNT particles in the model composites. As the number of carbon fiber breakages increased, electrical resistivity was stepwise increased. The CNT composites were well responded with fiber damages during the electro-micromechnical test. Carbon nanotube composites can be useful sensors for structural health monitoring to diagnose a structural safety and to prevent a collapse.

New generations of offshore wind turbines are playing a leading role in the energy arena. One of the target challenges is to achieve reliable Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of the blades. Fault detection at the early stage is a vital issue for the structural and economical success of the large wind turbines. In this study, experimental measurements of Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) are used and identification of mode shapes and natural frequencies is accomplished via an LMS system. Novelty detection is introduced as a robust statistical method for low-level damage detection which has not yet been widely used in SHM of composite blades. Fault diagnosis of wind turbine blades is a challenge due to their composite material, dimensions, aerodynamic nature and environmental conditions. The novelty approach combined with vibration measurements introduces an online condition monitoring method. This paper presents the outcomes of a scheme for damage detection of carbon fibre material in which novelty detection approaches are applied to FRF measurements. The approach is demonstrated for a stiffened composite plate subject to incremental levels of impact damage.
