- Additional information
- This paper reports how the addition of carbon nanotubes can be exploited to create an engineered (electrically conducting) self-sensing smart nanocomposite material. This work is significant because it shows that the incorporation of this type of nanocomposite into an engineering structure allows for the potential assessment, and monitoring, of both initial damage to the structure at its point of occurrence, and its subsequent progression towards eventual failure. Real-time structural integrity monitoring and assessment using this type of smart structure has substantial application to the aerospace, energy generation and transport sectors.
