Smart Composites Enhanced by MicroSensors

By embedding RVmagnetics MicroWire technology to the composite - precise measurements of e.g. temperature in of each layer can be obtained during the composite decking process. Allows one to distinguish whether the delamination or cracks occur during or after the decking process of layers inside composites. For the manufacturers RVmagnetics technology allows the production of the same quality composite with less material costs (layers and epoxides).

Smart composite also enables its user to real-time monitor the condition and performance of equipment during the operation (structural health monitoring) and helps to reduce the likelihood of material failure. It attempts to keep low costs by reducing the frequency of maintenance tasks, reducing preventive and reactive maintenance with the predictive one.
