Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is an excellent choice in the areas where weight reduction is important and multi-functionalization of CFRP, especially by adding sensor capabilities, is a promising approach to realize lightweight battery-free devices in structural health monitoring (SHM). In this study, we fabricated hybrid CFRP with Fe-Co fibers and evaluated the inverse magnetostrictive response characteristics. It was shown that the measured magnetic flux density of the CFRP fluctuates in response to cyclic bending load. It was also revealed that our Fe-Co fiber inserted CFRP has damage self-sensing ability. In addition, it seems that the optimization of design and more experimental and numerical investigation improves the capability of the hybrid CFRP with Fe-Co fiber as sensor composite materials.

Interest in carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been growing for the last several years. CFRP, a composite material made of carbon fibers and resins, has high mechanical characteristics and is well known as a difficult-to-cut material. During the process of drilling or cutting of CFRP, tool wear and delamination occur frequently. In this study, the authors developed a milling tool for CFRP using polycrystalline diamond, and the cutting performance of the developed tool was investigated.
