Assessing the damage evolution of
composites containing embedded fibre optics
In the work presented in this article, the nondestructive technique known as micro-computed
tomography (micro-CT) was used to investigate the
internal state of composite laminates containing
embedded fibre optics. The laminates were subjected to cyclic loading and the damage was followed
up in order to determine if the sensors affected
composite lifetime. The experiments showed no
significant evidence of damage related to the sensor's presence.
By
fecting structural integrity [1]. It is widely documented that by
altering the microstructure of a composite layup, a stress redistribution takes place, which can potentially induce premature
damage even for applied loads lower than the design loads [2].
Therefore, a better understanding of the problem is necessary
in order to properly integrate fibre optic sensors into composite structures. In this work, optical fibre sensors of different
diameters [3] were embedded in a carbon fibre prepreg UD
material.
Samples were cut from the manufactured laminate and fatigue
loads were applied up to failure. Damage evolution was monitored by means of a relatively new technique known as microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). This non-destructive
inspection technology uses X-rays to investigate the internal
microstructural state of any material with high resolution
(2 μm). A damage assessment was performed after laminate
production in order to investigate the influence of residual
stresses on the optical fibre sensor surroundings. Furthermore,
a specific load setup was chosen to fatigue the produced samples and the evolution of cracks was evaluated at intermediate
steps using micro-CT.

he use of optical fibre sensors (OFS) in the composite
industry for research purposes, and for structural health
monitoring (SHM) applications, has increased over the
last decade. This has stimulated the demand for more specific
applications, driven the development of new sensors and
introduced new challenges, such as the integration of optical
fibre sensors in composite materials without significantly af-
