Abstract

At present much attention is being devoted to the study of self-monitoring materials, which simultaneously offer good structural and sensing properties. In the present study self-sensing carbon–glass hybrid structural composites, behaving as 'guard' sensors (i.e. they give a warning when fixed loads are reached) were designed, manufactured and tested. In particular, samples containing different carbon fibre/glass fibre ratios were prepared and tested, by performing both mechanical (monotonic and cycle tensile tests) and electrical measurements. The results showed the efficiency of the proposed system and the possibility to design such materials to suit any specific application need. The advantages of these materials, compared to other more sophisticated monitoring systems, are the ease of fabrication and use, low production costs and versatility, so such materials are suitable for widespread low-cost applications.
