Fiber grating monitoring method for curing residual strain of composite materials

Abstract

The invention provides a fiber grating monitoring method for the curing residual strain of composite materials. The method comprises the following steps: (1) manufacturing a sensor string comprising grating temperature sensors and grating temperature strain sensors; (2) embedding fiber grating sensors in to-be-monitored parts of a composite material in the process of layering the composite material; (3) reasonably selecting a molding process for the composite material, such as hot-pressing reactor, compression molding and the like; (4) cooling the composite material to room temperature after curing molding is performed and using a grating demodulation instrument to monitor the wavelength value of the highest reflection peak of a reflection spectrum of a fiber grating; and (5) utilizing epsilon=1/k epsilon((delta lambda B1/lambda B1)-(Delta lambda B2/lambda B2)) to calculate the curing residual strain of the composite material. The method can realize the measurement of the residual strain of key parts of the structure of the composite material on the premise of not destroying the structure, and has the advantages of stable reliable measured values and good repeatability; in addition, the embedded grating can continue to play a role in monitoring the structure health of the composite material. The method organically combines the digital manufacturing and the health monitoring of the composite material, thereby realizing the on-line monitoring for the manufacturing process of the composite material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a monitoring method, in particular to a fiber grating monitoring method for curing residual strain of a composite material, and belongs to the field of material science. Background technique [0002] Composite materials have excellent mechanical properties, but the differences in physical and mechanical properties and thermal expansion coefficient mismatch of the component materials often lead to the generation of residual stress / strain during the molding process. This curing residual stress will affect the dimensional stability of the composite material, and at the same time have a non-negligible impact on the damage propagation of the composite structure during service. Therefore, monitoring and controlling the generation of curing residual strain is very critical to improve the reliability of composite materials.
