Problems solved by technology

However, in the application of composite material structure health monitoring, for composite material parts that require secondary bonding, it is necessary to manually bond the optical fiber to the inner surface of the composite material structure, and then enter the autoclave for secondary curing or secondary bonding , it is prone to the problem of fiber breakage and failure
This is due to the fact that the deformation and expansion rate of the optical fiber is smaller than that of the composite material, so this method is not suitable for composite material structures that need to be cured after the monitoring network is laid.
In the new generation of aerospace vehicle structural systems, the application of composite materials is becoming more and more extensive, and some even reach more than 80% of the amount, and the overall curing, co-bonding and secondary bonding processes are usually used, which are complicated and expensive.
Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new monitoring method that can adapt to the structure of complex composite components to solve the problem of real-time health monitoring of advanced aerospace vehicle composite structures.

Embodiment 1

[0056] Taking an all-composite material rudder wing of a certain spacecraft as an example, the specific implementation steps of the technical solution of the present invention are described.

[0057] (1) Design the structure monitoring circuit according to the structure scheme of the rudder wing. First, determine the monitoring position of the strain sensor and the direction of the transmission circuit, such as figure 1 shown. Then design the direction of the sensitive grid of the strain sensor of the structure monitoring circuit and the size of the strain sensor, such as figure 2 shown. The longitudinal direction of the sensitive grid of the strain sensor should be consistent with the local maximum deformation direction of the structure, and the maximum deformation direction can be determined by the finite element simulation results. Then design the length, width and thickness of the strain sensor and the transmission circuit. During the design, it is necessary to ensure ...
