wing |
Composite structures (such as wings) can
be monitored for damage caused by external loading conditions
such as localized heating, impact, and ballistic damage.
SMART Layers® can be postmounted on the surface of
such structures or embedded within the composite structure
during manufacturing. Potential applications include manned
and unmanned air vehicles.
