ABOUT

Objectives

- A SAW Transponder as a Versatile Solution for Structural Health Monitoring Applications.
- Proof-of-concept, A SAW/CNT hybrid solution for the wireless and passive detection of cracks in composite materials.

02 Expected results:

- A validated CNT‑reinforced composite material, integrated with a passive SAW transponder solution suitable for structural‑health monitoring of wind turbines blades.
- A working laboratory prototype of a wireless early crack‑detection system that operates without onboard electronics.

04 Planned secondments:

WUT, A. Boczkowska, months 12-15 (4 months): support to achieve connection between the CNT-filler material and the reflectors, inside the SAW-RFID Tag housings.
BARI, F. Ciampa, months 24-27 (4 months): field tests of the solution (i.e. test of one piece of CFRP/GFRP
composite panel with CNT-filler, equipped with a SAW-RFID Tag for wireless read-out of the electrical properties of the CNT-filler material).
TUD, R. Groves: months 29-32 (4 months): field testing on the leading edge of a wind turbine blade.
