Evaluation of Fatigue Damage Monitoring of Single-Lap Composite Adhesive Joint Using Conductivity.

ABSTRACT: The widely used adhesive joining technique suffers from the drawback of being unable to be dismantled to examine for degradation. To counteract this weakness, several structural health monitoring (SHM) methods have been proposed to reveal the joint integrity status. Among these, doping the adhesive with carbon nanotubes to make the joint conductive and monitoring its electrical resistance change is a promising candidate as it is of relatively low cost and easy to implement. In this work, resistance change to monitor fatigue debonding of composite single-lap adhesive joints has been attempted. The debonded area, recorded with a liquid penetrant technique, related linearly to the fatigue life expended. However, it correlates with the resistance change in two different trends.
