Application of a Fiber Optic-Based SHM System to a Composite Aircraft Wing and Its Technological Maturity Evaluation by Gianvito Apuleo, Monica Ciminello, Lorenzo Pellone, Umberto Mercurio, Antonio Concilio

“…This paper deals with the application of a novel fiber optic SHM system for bonding lines monitoring of a composite aircraft wing within Clean Sky 2 program framework. With the aim of controlling the structural state of the reference component, several targets may be addressed, including safety increase through a periodic update of the integrity level, maintenance costs reduction, for instance, by moving to an on-demand from the usual scheduled approach, and even design benefits by envisaging the possibility of modulating the safety coefficients due to an increased knowledge of the intimate structural system behavior. …”
