Structural Health Monitoring systems assess the part's current condition. This can be performed with a monitoring system comprising sensors, on surface or embedded, in monitored parts. However, sensors are subject to damage, and embedding may result weakened part. An innovative Self-Sensing Material its manufacturing process were developed presented herein. As proof of concept, Barium Titanate ...

abstract: friction stir welding, a solid state innovative joining technique, is widely being used for joining aluminium alloys for aerospace, marine automotive and many other applications of commercial importance. fsw trials were carried out using a vertical machining centre (vmc) on aa6061 alloy. the main objective of the present work was to evaluate the weld processing parameter of friction s...
