Technology and test of fiber Bragg grating in composite materials

Abstract

Abstract In this process, the processing flow of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) embedded carbon fiber reinforced composites are prepared by means of pressurized film forming and end-surface elicitation. Firstly, the development of composites in aerospace field is introduced. Then, according to the principle of FBG sensor, a scheme for embedding fiber grating into carbon fiber composites is designed. There are three key steps involved in this process, namely, laying the bare fiber parallel to the carbon fiber cleavage direction, applying the end-surface elicitation method with the use of stainless steel thin tubes and Teflon fine tubes for protection, and pasting the rubber strip tile on the end to prevent the curing of the fiber break. After processing, a 260x60x3mm surface intact product is made according to the design scheme. There is no deformation in Carbon fiber surface and the end-surface is intact. Experimental tests show that this product has good temperature and strain response.
