To achieve realtime crack monitoring of aircraft metal structures in the course of ser vice, a new crack monitoring method is proposed based on Cu coating sensor and electrical poten tial difference principle. Firstly, insulation treatment process was used to prepare a dielectric layer on structural substrate, such as an anodizing layer on 2AI2T4 aluminum alloy substrate, and then a Cu coating crack monitoring sensor was deposited on the structure fatigue critical parts by pulsed bias arc ion plating technology. Secondly, the damage consistency of the Cu coating sensor and 2A12T4 aluminum alloy substrate was investigated by static tensile experiment and fatigue test. The results show that strain values of the coating sensor and the 2A 12T4 aluminum alloy substrate measured by strain gauges are highly coincident in static tensile experiment and the sensor has excel lent fatigue damage consistency with the substrate. Thirdly, the fatigue performance discrepancy between samples with the coating sensor and original samples was investigated. The result shows that there is no obvious negative influence on the fatigue performance of the 2A12T4 aluminum alloy after preparing the Cu coating sensor on its surface. Finally, crack monitoring experiment was carried out with the Cu coating sensor. The experimental results indicate that the sensor is sensitive to crack, and crack origination and propagation can be monitored effectively through analyzing the change of electrical potential values of the coating sensor.展开更多

The laminate ply cracks may initiate and propagate across the coupon when the coupons were subjected to an increasing quasi-static load in a servo-hydraulic testing machine. Crack accumulation have been monitored using a long gauge-length extensometer. The response of the strain signal, the optical signal and the load signal to cracks at different positions in the coupon in relation to the extensometer and optical sensor positions have been acquired and compared by means of video images of the crack growth. The relationship between crack growth and sensor response was demonstrated. The displacement induced by a new transverse crack has been predicted and compared with experimental data.展开更多

Surface mor- phology and composition of the gate film were studied by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and atomic force microscopy （AFM）. The response of the sensor for propanol and methanol was measured as shift in capacitance-voltage （C-V） and conductance-voltage （G-V） curves of the MOS structure. The sensitivity of the sensor towards methanol was found to be greater than that towards propanol. It was 58.2% for methanol and 32% for propanol （at 0.6 V, 1 MHz） in terms of capacitance measurements, while in terms of conductance results the sensitivity was found to be 57.2% for methanol and 38.9% for propanol at 1 kHz. The discontinuities or cracks present in the microstructure of the gate material are believed to be mainly responsible for the high sensitivity of the sensor, going with the decomposition of gas molecules and subsequent hydrogen permeation through Pd.展开更多
