Abstract

A high-temperature bond has to be evaluated for its integrity at elevated temperatures. There are no validated techniques to test its performance. In this paper we propose a Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG)-based methodology to detect temperature-induced adhesive failure up to 300°C. The differential coefficient of thermal expansion between the substrate and the bond can lead to bond failure at high temperature. FBG impregnated in the bond will experience differential strain due to cracking of the bond. This leads to spectral decomposition of the reflected FBG spectra. This is a good indication for real-time monitoring of the integrity of a bond for high-temperature applications.
