Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nondestructive testing, in particular to a method for detecting structural damage of a carbon fiber reinforced resin-based composite material. Background Art
[0002] Carbon fiber reinforced resin-based composites are widely used in aerospace, marine engineering, and high-end transportation equipment due to their high specific strength, high specific modulus, and excellent fatigue performance. However, such composites are prone to irreversible damage such as microcracks, interface delamination, or fiber breakage in stress concentration areas under complex service environments. Therefore, how to achieve highly sensitive and visual detection of internal or surface structural damage in composite materials has become an important research direction for composite structural health monitoring. In recent years, mechanical response monitoring based on micro-nano sensors and characterization methods based on optical methods have gradually attracted attention. Deploying sensitive units on the surface of the material and combining optical or electrical excitation methods to obtain damage signals has become an important path to achieve micro-damage identification of composite materials.
[0003] While existing technologies for composite material damage detection can generally identify macroscopic defects, they still struggle with early detection and localization of micro-damage. This is particularly true in areas of stress concentration, where it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high-sensitivity mechanical and optical signal coupling enhancement. This issue often makes the damage signal susceptible to noise interference, hindering accurate calibration of the damage location. Existing structural damage detection methods typically compensate by increasing sensor density or implementing complex signal filtering algorithms. However, these approaches can weaken micro-damage signals and exhibit significant noise interference. Summary of the Invention
