The need to reduce the overall weight of aeronautical and space structures while preserving or even improving their performances make the research and development in the field of advanced composite materials necessary for the advancement of aerospace technologies. This paper provides an overview of composite materials and their fiber reinforcement technology in aerospace field. We discuss the reasons for aircraft manufacturers and airlines to use composites and illustrate the definition of composite material. Then, we list the advantages and disadvantage of composite materials and cite different fiber reinforcement technologies of carbon fibers, aramid fiber, UHMWPE, etc. At last, we summarize the present and future applications of composites materials in aerospace and other civil fields. A conclusion is drawn that in the future, composite materials are set for their development, while continually decreasing its costs is still an important task.

The application of advanced composite materials in airplane is becoming more and more. Along with the increase of its service time, it may be abnormal. It needs to take an anomaly detection. The electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is applied to the anomaly detection of composite material components in airplane. A uniplanar sensor with double-electrode and two carbon fiber composite samples are made, an experiment circuit is designed. In order to verify the effectiveness of the experimental circuit, the EIS of the Randles unit model circuit is measured, as well as the two composite material samples using the dual-electrode measurement method. The picture of EIS is drawn in Matlab and comparison and analysis are carried out. The preliminary experimental results indicate that the anomalies can be seen by measuring the EIS of the composite materials. It is feasible for the EIS to be applied in the anomaly detection of the composite materials in airplane.

Advanced Composite Materials

Composite materials have some obvious advantages such as high specific strength 、high specific modulus 、corrosion resistant 、abrasion resistant and so on, it is believed to be highly competitive compare to other materials. Advanced composite materials have been used more and more widely in defense industry, among them carbon fiber reinforced resin base composite material is most representative [1] ,there has great value for the study of carbon fiber composite materials. Eddy current is a nondestructive testing technology widely used on metal materials, the using of eddy current technology in aviation domain has a long history, but there is few reports on composite material with eddy current NDT. Experiments show that eddy current used on composite material is feasible, and the result is satisfactory. The thickness measurements of carbon fiber advanced composite materials have been done in two different ways.

Definition Of

The ability of advanced composite materials and structures to damp vibration is important in many applications. Use of the complex modulus approach to represent the dissipative properties of transversely-isotropic materials, such as unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites, requires the definition of a set of 5 (imaginary) loss moduli in addition to the 5 (real) storage moduli needed to describe the elastic behavior. In practice, designers of composite materials rarely have experimental data for all 5 loss moduli, and must assume values for the remaining moduli in their analyses. If values for these unknown loss moduli are specified arbitrarily, physically unreasonable behavior can result. This paper develops the conditions necessary for physical consistency of the complex moduli of transversely isotropic materials.
