Strain gages on composites
Strain gages on composites
(OP)
Are conventional metal foil strain gauges presently being used to monitor delamination in composite materials? And if so what sensitivity is required (micro strain range)? Do the strain gauges have to be right on the delamination to detect the delamination or can they be a distance away and still detect the delamination?
Thanks

Like Compositepro said, other NDT methods are much more effective at finding delam. than a strain gage.
