Abstract
The optic fiber is the commonly used in communication, after special processing it can be made a sensing part. At present, fiber optic sensors are applied generally in civil engineering and aeronautics, astronautics engineering for monitoring. The fiber grating sensor unified many merits, for example, the volume is small, the diameter thin and mass is light, not electromagnetic wave disturbance, High transmission, Anti-corrosive, thermostable, easy to embedded in the structure and establish quasi-distributional multiplex monitor network, It’s suitable in the structure strain and the temperature monitoring.
Nowadays, composite FRP usually has used to the yacht, aerospace vehicle, windmill rotor structures etc., but tendency of along with the structure of large scale, regarding structure security and quality request, Therefore forewarn monitor of regarding the structure and diagnoses the technology to be important day after day, Because the fiber optical sensor has easy to embedded in structure. So it’s can embed fiber optic sensor in composite structure manufacture in the structure, After the structure formation , advantageously monitor the structure interior condition.
This research mainly lies is used fiber grating sensor that applied to Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) process, fiber grating sensor was embedded between the fabric layers to monitoring the resin flow in composite process, and discusses relations of the fiber grating wavelength change and the resin flow. Practical application resin flow of experiment in thick laminate. Monitoring internal resin flow front in thick laminate. Discussion on experiment result and simulation software analysis result. Serviceability of the confirmation fiber grating sensor monitor resin flow front.
