Overview

Investigates how textile design and matrix materials affect the self-sensing ability of carbon fibre composites, indicating implications for structural monitoring.

Key Points

  • The research aims to examine how different textile configurations and matrix compositions influence the self-sensing performance of carbon fibre textile-reinforced cementitious composites under flexural loading.
  • Investigated self-sensing performance under flexural loading with two textile types (Type A and Type B)
  • Embedded textiles in matrices with and without polypropylene fibres
  • Placed four sensors per specimen to monitor failure modes during four-point bending
  • Analyzed elastic and post-elastic responses using linear and nonlinear regression
  • Type B textiles showed 6.9–9.7 times higher sensitivity in the elastic stage compared to Type A
  • PP fibres reduced gauge factors by 14–38 % and decay rates significantly by 62.9–63.8 %
  • Type B configuration demonstrated improved resistance to textile-matrix interface degradation and slower post-elastic debonding by 2.5 times
