摘要: Abstract This work demonstrates the applicability of optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors for in-situ characterization continuous reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTPCs) fabricated through Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique. Prismatic carbon and glass Nylon composite specimens were built with various orientations using a MarkTwo desktop 3D printer. FBGs embedded along thermocouples (TCs) into middle-plane structures simultaneous monitoring both residual strains temperature profiles developed during building procedure. Additionally, strain magnitudes further investigated at post-fabrication state. The samples then subjected to thermal loading measuring thermally induced as function applied consequently, composites' coefficients expansion (CTEs), based on recorded FBG wavelengths. results indicate that in-process generated calculated CTE values are vigorously affected by type orientation. It is also shown fields strongly dependent fabrication well behavior under temperature.
