In this study, the inverse finite element method (iFEM) is experimentally applied to real-time
displacement reconstruction of a moderately thick wing-shaped sandwich structure via a …

In this study, damage evolution in glass/carbon fiber hybrid composites with various stacking
sequences is investigated under pure bending and tensile loading conditions. Based on the …

The inverse finite element method (iFEM) is one of the best candidates to perform
displacement monitoring (shape sensing) of structures using a set of on-board/embedded …

In the past few decades, the development of aircraft engines has targeted high bypass ratios
and lightweight construction. The use of lighter and larger fan blades can facilitate the …

Corrugated sandwich structures are fabricated with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)
face sheets and cores. An experimental study was performed to investigate the response of …

A wide variety of embedded sensors are currently used for structural health monitoring of
glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites. However, some studies showed the …

Abstract 4D printing empowers 3D printed structures made of hydrogels, liquid crystals or
shape memory polymers, with reversible morphing capabilities in response to an external …

From plants tracking the sun to the aerodynamics of bird wings, shape change is key to the
performance of natural structures. After years of reliance on mechanical joints, human …

This work proposes a simple configuration of a fiber optic sensor (FOS) used to measure
deflection in concrete beams. This FOS includes pulleys with a groove to generate a …

This paper presents a finite element analysis of the bending, buckling, and free vibration of
the chopped carbon fiber/graphene nanoplatelet reinforced polymer hybrid composite …
