Piezoresistive type Graphene Nano Platelet sensor for SHM application in structural components

摘要

With the advancement of science and technology, SHM application through smart materials from graphene are becoming more popular than ever before. The physics behind graphene sensor has become an area of suitable interest owing to its Non-destructive application in structural components. Smart material sensors being allotrope form of carbon has been basically used for piezoresistive application purposes in composites, environmental monitoring and also in health applications. Here Gnp (graphene nano platelet) sensor has been used for SHM monitoring in structural components. We employed various Non-destructive methods such as SEM spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy to find out sensor's characterization in straining action associated with structural components with the help of GNP sensor.
