Method for manufacturing intelligent composite-material laminates used for monitoring structural longitudinal strain

2009 
The invention provides a method for manufacturing intelligent composite-material laminates used for monitoring structural longitudinal strain. In order to solve the technical problems that as fiber grating sensors are bonded to the surface of a structure through polyimide resin or epoxy resin commonly used in the prior engineering, optic fiber in service is easily destroyed; the optic fiber can get encapsulation protection but cause the concentration of surrounding stress/strain thereof if the optic fiber is directly embedded in a composite-material structure; and thermal residual stress produced in a material-curing process can cause chirp phenomena of fiber grating reflection spectrum to affect the measurement accuracy of grating strain, and the like, the invention provides the method for manufacturing intelligent composite-material laminates used for monitoring structural longitudinal strain. In the method, the fiber grating sensors are embedded in composite-material layers to replace resistance strain gauges commonly used in the field of monitoring structural health; by applying prestress to embedded fiber gratings, the influence of the curing residual stress of composite material on the fiber grating reflection spectrum is reduced so as to avoid the chirp phenomena; and the stability and repeatability of the sensors are improved. In addition, the composite material plays a good role in encapsulating and protecting bare fiber gratings, and meets engineering construction requirement on sensor sensitivity.
