Full textThe high-performance composite materials based on carbon fiber are increasingly used in critical security areas (aeronautics and civil engineering) for the high mechanical performances as regards to their low density. They offer many benefits such as mechanical strength, mass and consumption reduction. Thus, it is important to know their characteristics during curing process or their use. With the aim to optimize their use or to control their integrity, efforts are employed by using several techniques to monitor their curing cycle or the health of the structures during the conditioning stage and the service stage. Beyond the existing methods of unique measurement of the resistance or the capacitance of the material, we present herein a technique of electrical impedance analysis to extract some specific material properties (resistance, capacitance, Impedance and argument) in order to know its behavior. As the microstructure of the material contains a conductor part (carbon fiber) and an insulator part (resin), a three-dimensional (3D) model of the electrical conduction in the material was established by using a network of a resistance RP connected in parallel with a capacitance CP (impedance Z) to describe the anisotropy of the material. Then, the thin flexible electrodes (flex) are inserted inside the material and the specific impedance measurement bench is developed to perform a real-time measurement of RP and CP or Z and θ. Spectroscopic impedance analysis of the studied samples informs about the intrinsic properties of material and shows a sensitivity of these electrical properties according to the curing cycle. Then the sensitivity to some physical parameters (temperature, deformations, etc.) will be demonstrated in order to provide necessary elements to know or predict the health of the material for SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) and PHM (Prognostics and health management) purpose

Full textThis paper presents the modeling, simulation, experimentation and design of a smart composite structrure for high temperature measurements (up to 300 °C). In order to achieve this goal, a high temperature resistant metal coated optical fiber was considered and integrated into alumina coating. The smart composite structure consists of a substrate, a coating and an intensity modulated optical fiber temperature sensor. Firstly, an estimation of heat flux based on a experimental thermogram was firstly carried out in order to feed a numerical modeling. Then, different modelings were built to evaluate the surface temperature levels as well as the composite stress levels. The simulation showed that the composite (substrate and coating) could be considered as a thermally thin medium, the heat propagation within the composite was fast and could be estimated at a scale of millisecond. The stresses remained relatively uniform during the heating process but intensified during the cooling process. The modeling also showed that the stresses are not symmetrical in the fiber and depend on the position of the fiber relative to the substrate. After a modeling evaluation of the thermal levels as well as the stresses that may be achieved in the composite, an experimental step integrating a optical fiber into a thermal coating was carried out. Microscopic observation of surface and cross section were conducted in order to analyze the characteristics of the integrated fiber. The mechanical strength of the integrated fiber was then measured and the optical attenuation during the integration process as well as the thermal behavior of the integrated fiber during the thermal cycling were evaluated. Finally, an intensity modulated optical fiber temperature sensor was designed and integrated into ceramic coating by thermal spraying. A temperature measuring system was designed and the first tests of the thermal response as well as thermal cycling of temperature sensor were carried out. This study demonstrates the feasibility of designing a high temperature resistant smart composite structure by integrating an intensity modulated optical fiber temperature sensor in a ceramic coating elaborated by thermal spraying

Full textThe composite structures embedding piezoelectric implants are developed due to their abilities of modifying mechanical properties according to the environment, of keeping their integrity, of interacting with human beings or with other structures.This study is focused on the preliminary design stages of smart composite structures, which represent only 5% of the total costs of a project, whereas 80% of the life cycle cost are set during the preliminary study phases. The top few problems during the preliminary design of smart composite structures are addressed in this work such as the determination of the material properties of the piezoelectric transducers and composite material used, the influence of transducers location, manufacturing process, temperature and damage on the behavior of the smart composite structures.Due to the manufacturing process developed at the Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard (UTBM), the most important element is a semi-finished product called “soft layer”. This special layer is used to embed the transducers system into the composite structures. The manufacturing process of “soft layer” as well as the smart composite structures are compiled in this report.In order to solve the problems described above, two characterization methods of composite material (Resonalyser method and Time-of-Flight method (T-o-F method)), are introduced and discussed. After experimental studies and comparing the results of these two methods, the T-o-F method is chosen as the main method for the following studies due to the fact that it is a low-cost and in-situ characterization method. Furthermore, a new method based on the T-o-F method is developed to easily and quickly extract the elastic constants, in particular the Poisson’s ratio.Experimental sensitivity analyses applied to the smart composite structures are performed with respect to the problems describes above. First of all, the study of the influence of transducers location demonstrates that the "soft layer” cannot be neglected to model the behavior of the final product. In particular, the through-the-thickness position has an influence on the eigenfrequencies and the modal amplitudes. However, the "soft layer” does not increase the overall damping ratio of the final structures and the through-the-thickness position of the "soft layer” has no influence on the damping ratios. The Lamb wave propagation inside the composite material is not impacted by the "soft layer”. Secondly, the study of the impact of manufacturing process demonstrates that the impact of variability of parameters due to the manufacturing process is very important on the final response of the structure. Thirdly, the study of the influence of temperature on different kinds of smart composite structures proves that when temperature increases, the Young’s modulus of the smart composites decreases. But the attenuation of Young’s modulus according to temperature is different along different fiber directions, especially for the unidirectional composite structures. Furthermore, in this study, the sensitivity of Time-of-Flight method with respect to temperature is well proved by comparing the results with a traditional method like Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA). Last but not least, the study of the impact of the mechanical damage gives a quite good reference for the future investigations. Along this way, it is possible to use a Time-of-Flight method in Structural Health Monitoring. In addition, some smart composite structures manufactured by the research team are given and their potential applications are discussed

Full textThis thesis is divided in two parts. In the first part a geometrical modelling approach has been developed in tandem with weaving parameters. The reinforcements were woven on a modified conventional loom to study the geometry of these structures. Their weaving has been described in detail. The weaving parameters have been correlated to the modelling approach. The meso structural modelling approach is capable of predicting essential reinforcement geometrical characteristics at meso structural level without being too complicated. Furthermore, mechanical characterization of 3D interlock reinforcements has been carried out in such a way that a track of mechanical properties during the complete production cycle has been maintained. A novel parameter called strength transfer coefficient was proposed which allows better understanding of the influence of structural parameters on the final properties of the composite. In the second part of the thesis an online structural health monitoring system which is composed of a textile based sensor and signal amplification and treatment module, has been developed. This system is capable of detecting structural deformations in the composite as the sensor is integrated during the manufacturing of the reinforcement and can follow its deformation pattern when composite is subjected to tensile loading in a real time

Full textThis study aims at developing a thermosensitive membrane allowing the water vapor to cross with a function of the temperature to enhance the comfort and the safety of firefighters. Membranes with different chemical structure were synthesized from segmented polyurethane. The influence of the polyol type and its length, and the hard segment content was studied. Two kinds of mechanisms were identified depending on the chemical structure as a bulk modification and a surface modification, that change moisture management properties. Afterwards, membranes were pressed on a textile for higher mechanical properties. The purpose of the final product is to be made inside the firefighter’s personal protective equipment, between the underwear and the jacket. The systems membrane-textile keep the properties of the membrane and present controlled water vapor permeability with the function of the temperature

Full textThis innovative work studies the interest of integrating piezoelectric transducers (ceramic and/or polymer-based) within Polymer- Matrix Composite materials (PMC) to perform real-time and in-situ monitoring of their manufacturing process (Process Monitoring PM) as well as their lifespan (Structural Health Monitoring SHM). To do this, the piezoelectric transducers were integrated into the heart of the fibrous stacks using an innovative methodology developed within the "Materials and Surfaces" research team at the Roberval laboratory. The Liquid Resin Infusion (LRI) manufacturing system used (PM campaign), as well as the resulting samples tested mechanically (SHM campaign), were multi-instrumented using several Non-Destructive Testing devices (NDT: Acoustic Emission (AE), Infrared Thermography (IRT), Digital Image Correlation (DIC), etc.) in order to establish multi-physical couplings between the signals of external NDT techniques and the internal signature (electrical capacitance) coming from the transducers integrated into the heart of the material. In PM, the piezoceramic (PZT) transducers were found to be sensitive to the various key steps of the LRI process (flow front passing, impregnation, end of injection, chemo-physical transitions during curing and associated consolidation rates) achieved at different hardener rates, and able to detect manufacturing defects. These results showed great potential, worthy of future use on an industrial scale. In SHM, after verification of the non-intrusiveness of the ceramic and polymer-based transducers integrated into the heart of the mechanical test specimens, the polymer transducers allowed a real-time evaluation of the triaxial strain state and the rigidity loss experienced by the host PMC during its mechanical loading. However, despite a Non-Working Threshold (NWT) linked to the brittleness of their constitutive material, the piezoceramic transducers have shown a high sensitivity to the detection and monitoring of damage in real-time when they are positioned intelligently with respect to the mechanical stress. These thesis works ended with a first attempt aimed at transposing the knowledge acquired on PM and SHM of in-situ piezoelectric transducers from a 2D “laboratory” scale to a 3D structural one closer to industrial realities. The multi-instrumented manufacturing of an “Omega” stiffener PMC structure integrating 14 piezoelectric transducers (PZT and P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer) and reinforced through-the-thickness by a carbon tuft thread allowed confirming the previously evidenced PM abilities of the PZT, and showed a difference between how the electrical capacitance signals of PZT and copolymers react to the whole manufacturing process

Full textThis work is performed through the European project Inteltex. The aim is to develop new textile structures for the solvent detection. The use of CPC (Conductive Polymer Composite) composed of an insulating polymer matrix and conductive fillers, allows to detect the solvent presence by the swelling of the polymer that induces the conductive network deconnexion and the decrease of the electrical conductivity. The use of carbon nanotubes (CNT) as conductive fillers is a biggest advantage because only a low content is necessary to achieve the appropriate electrical conductivity for sensing (10-3 S/m). The different sensitive and spinnable matrices are polycarbonate (PC), polylactide (PLA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The percolation threshold of CNT in 1.5 mm diameter monofilament, produced by extrusion, is determined between 1.5 and 2 wt.% of CNT. The elaboration of multifilament yarns by melt spinning process show a decrease of the conductivity with the drawing effect. In order to maintain the electrical properties, PLA fibers containing at least 4 % of CNT and having a minimum diameter of 80 µm have to be produced. In this way it is necessary to introduce a plasticizer to improve the composites spinnability. The electrical, thermal, mechanical, morphological properties and fluidity of filaments were studied depending on the processing conditions and their composition. Composite fibers, close the percolation threshold, show sensitivity to humidity, ethanol and toluene
