Project Title: Novel flexible photonic based sensors for health monitoring of composite structures

Supervised by Professor Janice Barton

A radical redesign of optical fibre architecture has enabled a new in-situ measurement paradigm that elicits quantitative assessment of through-thickness strains in laminated composite structures during manufacture and service. The novel sensor technology will inform composite design and manufacturing strategies to facilitate Net-Zero sustainability goals by reducing scrappage and extending operational lifetime. You will work closely with industry to:

  • Design procedures that enable the flexible photonic sensor to make multiple measurements quickly with real time reporting on the health of the structure.
  • Develop the new sensors for both manufacturing control and service life predictions of a composite structure.
  • Stimulate your interest in new, developmental sensing methods used as the basis for the creation of future sustainable composite products.
