- Abstract
- Civil engineering is constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance the monitoring and maintenance of infrastructure. This is because traditional monitoring methods are often costly and time-consuming due to the use of multiple devices and manual inspections. Carbon nanotube (CNT)-polymer based self-sensing composites provide an innovative approach for structural health monitoring. Among these, composites fabricated using screen-printing techniques also offer the advantages of being cost-effective and suitable for mass production. In this study, we will manufacture a smart skin as a novel detection material for structural health monitoring by screen-printing CNT/polyurethane (PU) ink. The authors report on the optimized screen-printing design for the smart skin based on electrical characteristics and optical microscopy analysis for different mesh counts. Moreover, we investigate the electromechanical response of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite materials under impact loadings. Finally, we will present a new sensing system by applying the smart skin in a grid pattern to the structure, enabling the detection of various impacts. This innovative approach allows for the development of a versatile sensing system that can monitor and identify different types of impacts on the structure. © 2023 by DEStech Publi cations, Inc.
