PVDF-film for Robust Online Assessment of Composite Tanks (PROACT)
Duration: 2019-2020
Role: PI
Research Objectives: This STTR project was to develop PVDF based sensors for SHM of composite tanks. As a positive outcome passive detection of impacts were found to be feasible but as a challenging outcome it was found that Guided wave generated by active PZTs were not detectable by the PVDF sensors.
