Abstract
Mechanoluminescence (ML)-perovskite sensors have shown potential for real-time impact sensing in composites structure. The sensors can be embedded in the structure for in-situ and real-time structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. Our previous work demonstrated the potential of a flexible ML-perovskite sensor for SHM systems and the possibility of sensor embedment in a fiber-reinforced composite structure. However, the viability of the sensor to predict impact localization remains unexplored. This paper investigates the potential of the sensors for impact localization in composite laminates. Herein, embedded ML-perovskite sensors are placed throughout a composite plate to monitor the host structure. By monitoring and correlating the changes in the electrical current of the sensors, it is possible to predict the impact location in the structure. The experimental results show that the ML-perovskite sensor can accurately detect and locate impact events when embedded in a composite structure. This work reveals the potential of ML-perovskite sensors for damage detection and localization prediction in composite materials.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical regularly publishes original papers, letters to the Editors and from time to time invited review articles within the following device areas:
• Fundamentals and Physics, such as: classification of effects, physical effects, measurement theory, modelling of sensors, measurement standards, measurement errors, units and constants, time and frequency measurement. Modeling papers should bring new modeling techniques to the field and be supported by experimental results.
• Materials and their Processing, such as: piezoelectric materials, polymers, metal oxides, III-V and II-VI semiconductors, thick and thin films, optical glass fibres, amorphous, polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon.
• Optoelectronic sensors, such as: photovoltaic diodes, photoconductors, photodiodes, phototransistors, positron-sensitive photodetectors, optoisolators, photodiode arrays, charge-coupled devices, light-emitting diodes, injection lasers and liquid-crystal displays.
• Mechanical sensors, such as: metallic, thin-film and semiconductor strain gauges, diffused silicon pressure sensors, silicon accelerometers, solid-state displacement transducers, piezo junction devices, piezoelectric field-effect transducers (PiFETs), tunnel-diode strain sensors, surface acoustic wave devices, silicon micromechanical switches, solid-state flow meters and electronic flow controllers.
