Layered composite plates subjected to cyclic or low-velocity impact loadings are typically affected by local failures linked to delamination, i.e. debonding between adjacent laminae. Micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have been recently proposed as sensing components of surface-mounted structural health monitoring systems, aimed to detect such delamination events in real-time. Here, we show some experimental results to get insights into the capability of MEMS accelerometers to detect delamination, and identify its magnitude. We also discuss a topology optimization-like approach to smartly deploy sensors over plates of complex geometry, so as to locate a delamination of unknown position.

Abstract

Layered composite plates subjected to cyclic or low-velocity impact loadings are typically affected by local failures linked to delamination, i.e. debonding between adjacent laminae. Micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have been recently proposed as sensing components of surface-mounted structural health monitoring systems, aimed to detect such delamination events in real-time. Here, we show some experimental results to get insights into the capability of MEMS accelerometers to detect delamination, and identify its magnitude. We also discuss a topology optimization-like approach to smartly deploy sensors over plates of complex geometry, so as to locate a delamination of unknown position.
