The invention relates to an intelligent
composite material and a preparation and damage monitoring method thereof, belongs to the technical field of intelligent materials and
structural health monitoring, and solves one of the problems that in the prior art, an intelligent
composite material detection device is complex, a built-in sensor is prone to damage and failure,
signal analysis is difficult, and the performance of a main body material is affected. The invention discloses an intelligent
composite material embedded with a sensing network, the main body of the intelligent composite material is a
fiber reinforced
resin matrix composite material laminated plate structure, and the intelligent composite material is composed of a
resin matrix, a
fiber reinforcement body, conductive sensing fibers and electrodes; the
fiber reinforcement is composed of multiple
layers of prepregs, the conductive sensing fibers are clamped and laid between the prepreg
layers in an orthogonal network mode, and the two ends of each conductive sensing fiber are exposed out of the end face of the intelligent composite material. According to the material, on the premise that the performance of a main body material is basically unchanged, real-time monitoring of internal damage, especially
ablation damage, of the composite material is achieved, the
material structure is simple, monitoring signals are easy to analyze, and durability is good.
