Partners from RISE disseminate Fatigue4Light during the International Conference on Composite Materials
Fatigue4Light partners from RISE attended the 23rd International Conference on Composites Materials (ICCM23) taking place from 30th July – 4th August in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Jocke Pettersson, project partner and senior scientist at RISE, participated in the session “Structural Health Monitoring” presenting the paper titled “Embedding Fiber Optical Sensors in FRP-Hybrid Materials”, which is based on the Fatigue4Light work and research.
The work presented includes development and verification of techniques for embedding fiber- optical sensors in Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) and Aluminum hybrid materials for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) purposes. The fiber-optical sensors both survive the manufacturing process of the FRP-Hybrid material and achieve sufficiently strong bonding to the material matrix.
The ICCM Conference brought together leading researchers and practitioners with the objective to report and exchange ideas on the latest developments in the advancement and exploitation of a wide range of composites materials and structures.
