Resistance Responses of Polymer-Matrix Carbon Fiber Smart Layer to Normal Strain and Shear Strain

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper makes a comprehensive study on the sensitivity of a new type strain sensor named polymer-matrix carbon fiber smart layer. The sensitivity to tensile strain was gained by a uniaxial tension test. By a three-point bending test on a FRP bar stuck by the smart layer, the sensitivity to compressive strain was revealed and a lower gauge factor was obtained compared to the sensitivity to tensile strain. In addition, a pure shearing test was designed, revealing the sensitivity to shear strain.
