The size of the global composites market is anticipated to grow more than previously. Due to the rapidly rising volume of CFRP production, the waste from this material poses numerous problems and has significantly increased the socio-technological pressure to find sustainable composite recycling solutions. The problem is that recycling the composite part is challenging once its service life has expired. The same problem is true for the raw materials (prepregs) used in composite manufacturing. When the prepreg out-life/shelf-life is over, prepregs are abandoned, resulting in a loss of millions of dollars and an adverse environmental effect. In this study, the …

With the increased use of composite materials, researchers have developed many approaches for structural and prognostic health monitoring. Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BbDS)/Impedance Spectroscopy (IS) is a state-of-the-art technology that can be used to identify and monitor the minute changes in damage initiation, accumulation, interactions, and the degree of damage in a composite under static and dynamic loading. This work presents a novel artificial neural network (ANN) framework for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites under fatigue loading, which incorporates dielectric state variables to predict the life (durability) and residual strength (damage tolerance) from real-time acquired dielectric permittivity of the material. The findings …
