Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0079] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional fiber mesh of a composite material according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the position of fibers and a fiber Bragg grating sensor made of a composite material according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the composite material includes a basalt fiber mesh 1 and a fiber Bragg grating sensor 2. The composite material may include multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2, and the fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are embedded in the basalt fiber mesh 1, realizing the integrated setting of the fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 and the basalt fiber mesh 1.

[0080] The multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are arranged in a single or multiple columns, and the column direction of the fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 is parallel to the radial direction of the basalt fiber mesh, avoiding cross-twisting between the fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 and facilitating the distributed layout of the monitoring network. These multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 can be used to detect the health status of the basalt fiber mesh 1.

[0081] This configuration, through the embedding of the fiber Bragg grating sensor 2, achieves integrated setup with the basalt fiber mesh 1. Subsequently, the fiber Bragg grating sensor 2 can be used for real-time, non-destructive health monitoring of the composite material. The fiber Bragg grating sensor 2 is unaffected by electromagnetic interference, expanding the application scenarios of the composite material and broadening its engineering applicability. Furthermore, the fiber Bragg grating sensor 2 enables simultaneous monitoring of multiple parameters with an accuracy of ±1με and a temperature resolution of 0.1℃.

[0082] In some embodiments, multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are arranged at equal intervals in the column direction. For example, in the radial direction of the basalt fiber mesh 1, in the column direction of the multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2, the spacing between two adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 is 10cm, or 5cm, 20cm, etc., and can be designed as needed.

[0083] In some other embodiments, to broaden the health monitoring range of the composite material, the multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 can be arranged in a multi-row, multi-column array to form a distributed monitoring network for health monitoring of various regions of the composite material.

[0084] Based on the composite materials in the foregoing embodiments, this disclosure also provides a method for preparing a composite material, which can be applied to the composite materials described in any of the foregoing embodiments. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the preparation method may include the following steps:

[0085] In step 301, the fiber Bragg grating sensor is embedded in the uncured basalt fiber mesh.

[0086] In this embodiment, an uncured basalt fiber mesh 1 is selected, for example, a basalt fiber mesh 1 with a basis weight of 300 g / m² can be selected. The fiber Bragg grating sensor 2 is embedded based on this uncured basalt fiber mesh 1. The flexibility of the uncured basalt fiber mesh 1 enables the non-destructive embedding of the fiber Bragg grating sensor 2, avoiding damage to the composite material caused by traditional drilling or adhesive methods.

[0087] For uncured basalt fiber mesh 1, after determining the fiber radial direction, multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 can be arranged side by side with equal spacing along the fiber radial direction. The number of fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 in each column can be adaptively designed according to the fiber length and spacing.

[0088] In step 302, the basalt fiber mesh embedded with the fiber Bragg grating sensor and which is not cured is cured to obtain the composite material.

[0089] In this embodiment, since the fiber Bragg grating sensor 2 is embedded during the curing process of the uncured basalt fiber mesh 1, the curing process can achieve the integration of the fiber Bragg grating sensor 2 and the basalt fiber mesh 1, thus enabling the composite material to perform both reinforcement and health monitoring functions.

[0090] For the curing process, the uncured basalt fiber mesh 1, embedded with a fiber Bragg grating sensor 2, is immersed in a styrene-acrylic emulsion to ensure uniform penetration of the emulsion into the interfiber spaces of the basalt fiber mesh 1. Then, a vacuum-assisted molding process is used to remove air bubbles, followed by curing in a constant temperature chamber to form a three-dimensional mesh of the composite material. The vacuum level in the vacuum-assisted molding process can be -0.1 MPa, and the curing time in the constant temperature chamber can be 24 hours or longer.

[0091] In some other embodiments, a polyurethane protective layer can be coated onto the surface of the cured composite material to protect it. For example, a polyurethane protective layer with a thickness of 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, or 0.8 mm can be coated to enhance the environmental durability and corrosion resistance of the composite material.

[0092] Based on the technical solution of this disclosure, a method for detecting the health status of composite materials is also provided. This detection method can be applied to any of the aforementioned composite materials. Furthermore, the area where multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are located can be divided into multiple location regions. Each location region is provided with at least two fiber Bragg grating sensors 2. The number of fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 in different location regions can be equal or unequal, and adjacent location regions do not have overlapping areas.

[0093] like Figure 4 As shown, this health status detection method may include the following steps:

[0094] In step 401, the wavelength offset outputs of multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors located in the same area are obtained, and the multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors in the same area are in the same strain field and temperature field.

[0095] In this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 in the composite material are arranged in multiple rows and columns, and the area where the multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are located can be divided into 9 position regions, each of which is shown in the dashed box. Adjacent position regions do not overlap. Multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are set in each position region, and the fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 in the same position region are in the same strain field and the same temperature field.

[0096] In other words, the following relationship is established based on the wavelength offset of any fiber Bragg grating sensor 2:

[0097] Δλ=K ε ·ε+K T ·ΔT;

[0098] Where Δλ is the wavelength shift of fiber Bragg grating sensor 2;

[0099] K ε Let be the strain sensitivity coefficient, and be a constant.

[0100] K T Here, is the temperature sensitivity coefficient, and is a constant.

[0101] ε is the strain of the composite material, which is an unknown quantity;

[0102] ΔT is the temperature change of the composite material, which is an unknown quantity.

[0103] The fact that fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 in the same location area are in the same strain field and the same temperature field can be understood as the fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 in the same location area satisfying the above relationship and having the same unknown parameters. Figure 5Taking the example of setting the same number of fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 in multiple location areas, in other embodiments, the number of fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 set in multiple location areas may be different or partially different.

[0104] In step 402, the strain of the basalt fiber mesh in the same location area is obtained based on multiple wavelength offsets, temperature sensitivity coefficients, and strain sensitivity coefficients.

[0105] In this embodiment, for each fiber Bragg grating sensor 2, the above-mentioned relationship can be established based on its own temperature sensitivity coefficient and strain sensitivity coefficient. Then, the strain of the basalt fiber mesh 1 in the location area can be solved by combining the equation, so as to separate the temperature change and the strain and understand the health status of the composite material.

[0106] For example, in some embodiments, the temperature sensitivity coefficients of multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 located in the same area are partially different, and the strain null coefficients of the multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are partially different. Based on this, a linear equation can be established for each fiber Bragg grating sensor 2 in any area, relating wavelength offset, temperature sensitivity coefficient, strain sensitivity coefficient, strain, and temperature change. That is, the aforementioned relationship can be established. Furthermore, the strain in any area of ​​the basalt fiber mesh 1 can be solved jointly based on multiple linear equations.

[0107] For example, assuming that any location region has two fiber Bragg grating sensors 2, and that the strain sensitivity coefficients and temperature sensitivity coefficients of these two fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are different, the following equation can be established:

[0108]

[0109] Based on this equation, the strain and temperature change in this location region can be obtained.

[0110] It is understood that when three or more fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 are set in any location area, multiple quadratic equations can be established to solve for the strain of that location area. Subsequently, the average of the multiple strains obtained can be used as the strain of that location area. In some other embodiments, the above-mentioned quadratic equations can also be established based on different temperature sensitivity coefficients and the same strain sensitivity coefficient, or they can be established based on different strain sensitivity coefficients and the same temperature sensitivity coefficient. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0111] In other embodiments, a first fiber Bragg grating sensor and a second fiber Bragg grating sensor can be positioned in the same location area, wherein the first fiber Bragg grating sensor detects only the temperature change. Based on this, a linear equation can be established for each second fiber Bragg grating sensor, relating wavelength shift, temperature sensitivity coefficient, strain sensitivity coefficient, strain, and temperature change. Furthermore, using the temperature change detected by the first fiber Bragg grating sensor, the strain in any location area of ​​the basalt fiber mesh can be solved based on the linear equation and the temperature change detected by the first fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0112] It is understandable that, based on the setup of multiple second fiber Bragg grating sensors, multiple strain variables can be calculated, and the health status of the composite material can then be evaluated by taking the average of these multiple strain variables.

[0113] In some other embodiments, at least one temperature sensor is provided in each location region. Subsequently, based on each fiber Bragg grating sensor in the location region, a linear equation is established between wavelength offset, temperature sensitivity coefficient, strain sensitivity coefficient, strain, and temperature change, where the strain and temperature change are unknowns. The temperature change is obtained based on the temperature sensor, and then the strain of the corresponding location region of the basalt fiber mesh 1 is solved according to the linear equation and the temperature change.

[0114] It is understandable that by setting up multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors in the same location area, multiple strain variables can be calculated, and the health status of the composite material can be evaluated by taking the average of these multiple strain variables.

[0115] In step 403, the health status of the composite material is determined based on the strain.

[0116] In this embodiment, the determination of whether the composite material is damaged can be based on the strain variable, thereby achieving health monitoring of the radiation material.

[0117] For example, in some embodiments, the strain variable can be compared with a baseline value. When the difference between the strain variable and the baseline value is greater than or equal to a set threshold, the health status of the composite material is determined to be damaged. Furthermore, the location of the damage in the composite material can be located based on the location area corresponding to the strain variable. In this way, the damage location can be accurately located, which is beneficial for subsequent treatment of the damage location, such as repair or removal.

[0118] In other embodiments, a two-dimensional strain image can be constructed based on the location parameters and strain of multiple location regions. Based on this two-dimensional strain image, the health condition of the composite material can be determined, and when the health condition of the composite material is determined to be damaged, the damage location can be located based on the two-dimensional strain image. For example, taking a rectangular composite material as an example, the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the two-dimensional strain image represent the length and width dimensions of the rectangle, and the strain value is represented by grayscale, thus creating the two-dimensional strain image.

[0119] In this two-dimensional strain image, the strain changes in each location region can be understood based on the global situation, thereby determining the strain of the location region in the healthy state. When the strain of any location region is greater than the strain of the location region in the healthy state, that location region can be determined to be in a damaged state. Furthermore, when the health status of any location region of the composite material is determined to be in a damaged state, the damage location can be located based on the two-dimensional strain image.

[0120] In the above embodiments, the location region where the health condition is damaged can also be obtained. Based on this location region where the health condition is damaged, the spacing between adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors in the radial direction of the composite fiber, the number of fiber Bragg grating sensors 2, and the damage length of the composite material in the radial direction of the fiber can be obtained. For example,

[0121] L damage =(N damage -1)·Δ x

[0122] Among them, L damage The length of the damage;

[0123] N damage The number of fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 in the radial direction of the fiber is based on the location region in the damaged state.

[0124] Δ x The spacing is the distance between the fiber Bragg grating sensors 2 when they are equidistantly arranged in the radial direction of the fiber.

[0125] Similarly, based on the location region where the health condition is damaged, the spacing between adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors in the direction perpendicular to the fiber radial direction of the composite material, the number of fiber Bragg grating sensors 2, and the damage length of the composite material in the direction perpendicular to the fiber radial direction can be obtained.

[0126] In some embodiments, when the health status of the composite material is determined to be in a damaged state based on the strain variable, the method can also locate the damage type of the location area corresponding to the strain variable based on the change characteristics of the strain variable within a set time period. Alternatively, the damage types of multiple location areas corresponding to multiple strain variables can be located through the change characteristics of multiple strain variables, thereby facilitating designers to repair or adjust the composite material according to the strain type.

[0127] For example, when the strain change characteristic is a large change in strain in a single location area, and no further strain change can be detected, the damage type of the corresponding location area can be determined as fiber fracture, and the reinforcement capacity of the composite material can be determined accordingly. As another example, when the strain change characteristic is strain weakening in multiple locations, i.e., abrupt changes in strain occur in multiple adjacent locations, the damage type of these multiple locations can be determined as fiber micro-delamination, i.e., debonding of the composite material, requiring immediate attention to the composite material type. As yet another example, when the strain change characteristic is a fluctuating strain change, the damage type of the corresponding location area can be determined as fiber micro-cracks; this fluctuating change can be understood as a vibration-like change in strain. As yet another example, when the strain change characteristic is a decreasing amount of strain change, and the strain change gradually slows down, the damage type of the corresponding location area can be determined as uneven colloid distribution, and designers need to consider the reliability of the composite material.

[0128] Corresponding to the aforementioned embodiments of the composite material health status detection method, this disclosure also provides embodiments of a composite material health status detection device.

[0129] Figure 6 This is a block diagram illustrating a health status detection device for a composite material according to an exemplary embodiment. The health status detection device is applied to the composite material described in any of the foregoing embodiments. The area where the plurality of fiber Bragg grating sensors are located is divided into multiple location regions, each location region having at least two fiber Bragg grating sensors, and adjacent location regions do not overlap. (Refer to...) Figure 6 The device includes a first acquisition module 61, a second acquisition module 62, and a determination module 63, wherein:

[0130] The first acquisition module 61 acquires the wavelength offset output by multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors set in the same location area, wherein the multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors in the same location area are in the same strain field and temperature field.

[0131] The second acquisition module 62 acquires the strain of the basalt fiber mesh in the same location area based on multiple wavelength offsets, temperature sensitivity coefficients, and strain sensitivity coefficients.

[0132] The determination module 63 determines the health status of the composite material based on the strain variable.

[0133] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each module performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.
