This paper focuses on the process of forming a preform. Up to the finished preform, the multilayer reinforced fabrics are subjected to the following procedures: pattern design, cutting and sewing. Considering the fabric properties, the 3-dimensional CAD software and sewing machines, which are generally used in the clothing industry, are also suitable for the processing of the reinforced fabrics. This study aims also to the changes of property arising from the sewing process. Bending stiffness and changes of thickness after sewing are studied. These properties will provide input data for CAD pattern design.展开更多

This paper briefly reviews our recent advancement mainly in Brillouin-based distributed sensing. Damage detection, life cycle monitoring and shape reconstruction systems applicable to large-scale composite structures are presented, and new technical concepts, ＂smart crack arrester＂ and ＂hierarchical sensing system＂, are described as well, highlighting the great potential of optical fiber sensors for the structural health monitoring （SHM） field.展开更多
