A Review of Structural Health Monitoring for Flexible Composite Materials

Flexible composite materials find extensive utilization in diverse applications. However, during the use of fiber-reinforced flexible composite materials, various types of damage may occur due to aging, improper use, and incorrect manufacturing and assembly, necessitating real-time monitoring of the health status of flexible composite materials to prevent accidents. This article first introduces the main monitoring methods and principles of structural health monitoring, further elaborates and summarizes the research status of structural detection of fiber-reinforced flexible composite materials, and prospects for future development directions.
