Abstract

Structural health monitoring of composite structures to detect barely visible damage is vitally important for the aerospace industry. This research has investigated amorphous magnetostrictive wires (Fe77.5Si7.5B15 and Co72.5Si12.5B15), as a possible solution to monitoring aerospace composites. The different amorphous wires were either embedded into the composite or epoxied on to the surface. How the wires effected the structure of the composite along with ultimate tensile strength was studied. Inductance measurements were used to study the strain within the composite, which provided a non-intrusive method of monitoring the composite.
