Woodhead Publishing Smart Textiles for Monitoring Composites

Smart Textiles for in situ Monitoring of Composites offers a specialized look at solving the challenges of real-time structural health monitoring in composite materials. By combining the fields of textiles, composites, and structural health monitoring, this book presents an integrated approach to using smart textiles to detect failure modes. This volume from The Textile Institute Book Series introduces the fundamental theory behind smart textiles for measurement and monitoring applications. It provides a detailed look at both established and developing techniques used for in-situ monitoring. Readers will gain a technical understanding of how to deploy these textile-based solutions to maintain the integrity of composite structures. This resource is designed for those seeking to understand the intersection of textile technology and composite material safety.
