Detection and characterization of impact damage in carbon fiber aircraft fuselage structure
… to detect and characterize damage in full-scale carbon fiber fuselage structure. It also examines embedded and bonded methods of deploying an in-situ fiber optic (FO) Swept Wavelength Interferometry (SWI) strain sensing system for damage detection. The hypothesis is that the more advanced …

Large strain flexural testing of thin composite laminates
Carbon fiber composites are of significant interest for use in deployable space structures. Elastically folded thin laminates can be utilized as hinge mechanisms in structural systems such as solar arrays, reflectors, and instrument booms, allowing for compact packaging during launch to orbit. …
