Research abstract
Xenotran proposes to develop a Vehicle Health Monitoring (VHM) sensor based on inductive coupling for detecting failure initiation, and crack propagation in composite materials. The VHM system consists of a very low cost crack sensing transducer that can be interrogated and powered wirelessly from a portable RF interrogator. The proposed Xenotran sensor consists of minimal components resulting in maximum reliability. Using this methodolgy as well as Commercial Off-The-Shelf technology (COTS), both development and manufacturing costs of the sensors and interrogator are kept low resulting in true easily implemented and disposable sensors.
