Quality assessment and damage detection in nanomodified adhesively-bonded composite joints using inkjet-printed interdigital sensors
摘要： In this work, the development of a planar interdigital capacitive sensor, directly onto the surface of a composite, for determining the initial quality of curing of bonded composite joints and assessing their long-term durability is presented. The sensor consisted of an interlocking comb-shaped array of silver electrodes and used to monitor the progress of cure of an adhesive resin and the subsequent damage state of the bond line in adhesively-bonded composite joints using impedance spectroscopy. The obtained results from the mechanical characterization indicated that the developed sensor did not affect the quality of the bondline while the added weight of the sensor is negligible. The curing process of the adhesive epoxy was successfully monitored while the ability of the sensor to assess the developed damage created by the mechanical loading was confirmed using transient infrared thermography.

Parametric optimization of pulse-echo laser ultrasonic system for inspection of thick polymer matrix composites
摘要： One of the main challenges of using laser ultrasonic techniques for non-destructive testing applications is the typically low signal-to-noise ratio of the laser ultrasonic signals. In the case of thick composite structures, this is even more problematic since composite materials have very strong sound attenuation. This article investigates the effects of laser beam size and profile to the amplitude of pulse-echo laser ultrasonic signals with the constraint that the peak energy density (fluence) must be kept constant under the thermal damage threshold of material like polymer matrix composites. Such constraint is very important for the non-destructive feature of non-destructive testing, yet in a number of the existing parameter studies of laser ultrasonics, it was not fully investigated. In this article, a series of A-scan and C-scan experiments on thick composite specimens shows that the amplitude of the direct waves and the reflected waves increases with the increase in laser beam size with constant peak energy density. This amplitude enhancement significantly improves the propagation depth, thereby optimizing the system for inspection of thick composite structures. The validity of experimental results is verified theoretically by solving the thermoelastic model of epicenter displacement using Laplace–Hankel transformation.

Three-dimensional ZnO/ZnxCd1?xS/CdS nanostructures modified by microwave hydrothermal reaction-deposited CdSe quantum dots for chemical solar cells
摘要： Effective interfaces composed of smart materials could play a critical role in the rapid transfer and separation of charges to achieve the high power-conversion efficiency of solar cells. In this work, we report an efficient chemical solar cell that uses a ZnO/ZnxCd1?xS/CdS structure, modified with CdSe deposited with a microwave hydrothermal technique, for rapid transport of charges using a frame construction to allow for reuse. The morphology, nanostructure, and reaction mechanisms of CdS nanorods and the ZnxCd1?xS layer were systematically investigated. The results indicated that light absorption expands from 550 nm of CdS to 700 nm because of the absorption of nearly all the visible light by deposited CdSe quantum dots. The effects of the compositional structure on cell performance are investigated to reveal the enhancement mechanism, which is mainly attributed to the suitable nano-branch structure, high light absorbability, low charge transfer resistance, and low recombination rate. This work demonstrates a potential universal method of designing an interface with a multi-component composite for efficient charge transport and separation, not only in chemical solar cells but with extensions to photocatalysis and water splitting uses as well.

[IEEE 2018 XXIIIrd International Seminar/Workshop on Direct and Inverse Problems of Electromagnetic and Acoustic Wave Theory (DIPED) - Tbilisi, Georgia (2018.9.24-2018.9.27)] 2018 XXIIIrd International Seminar/Workshop on Direct and Inverse Problems of Electromagnetic and Acoustic Wave Theory (DIPED) - MoM Solution to Scattering Problem on Multi-Region Composite Structures with Various Type Material Junctions
摘要： This paper develops a MoM-based full-wave solution to the scattering problem on arbitrary multi-region composite structure with various type junctions between dielectric and conducting regions. A special attention is paid to the treatment of basis functions (BF) on material junctions. In contrast to existing works, the standard RWG BF are supposed to be used and grouped according to the boundary conditions on contiguous interfaces. The proposed approach has been validated by comparison of the simulated results with those obtained by discontinuous Galerkin time domain (DGTD) method.

AIP Conference Proceedings [AIP Publishing LLC 41ST ANNUAL REVIEW OF PROGRESS IN QUANTITATIVE NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION: Volume 34 - Boise, Idaho (20–25 July 2014)] - Feasibility of PZT ceramics for impact damage detection in composite structures
摘要： Fiber reinforced plastic composites are becoming widely used in vehicles and airframe structures due to their high strength to weight ratio. However unlike metals, the multilayered composite structures are more susceptible to damage mechanisms such as disbonds and delaminations due to impacts. It is often dif?cult to visually detect the damage. Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) thin ?lms are becoming popular for in-situ structural health monitoring due to their small size, high piezoelectric coupling coef?cient, and ease of surface-mounting and/or embedding in composite structures. A network of such transducers could be utilized for damage detection using guided wave techniques, impedance techniques, or passive impact detection techniques. However, the PZT ?lms are subject to the same impact probabilities that the structure encounters. If the transducers fail due to the subjected impacts, they can result in false readings and ultimately failing to correctly detect damage in the structure. This paper presents a feasibility study using the guided wave S0 mode for detecting impact damage. The health of the structure is quanti?ed using guided wave measurements, and the PZT health is monitored using impedance methods.
