White Paper

A concise technical overview of intelligent composites for structural health monitoring. The paper outlines how an electrically conductive fibre lattice integrated with AI delivers on-impact detection, energy/location mapping, and predictive diagnostics for BVID/FOD in aerospace-grade laminates.​

  • Problem context: vulnerability of CFRP to low-velocity impacts and barely visible impact damage (BVID).
  • Material innovation: iTex conductive fibre interleaf enabling an embedded sensing lattice with minimal weight impact.
  • Diagnostics layer: AI-based interpretation of signals for impact characterisation, localisation, and remaining-life indication.
  • Large-area redundancy: distributed network maintains sensing coverage when a local region is damaged.
  • Mechanical performance: representative uplift up to +87% (Mode I) and +244% (Mode II); test conditions and methods detailed.
  • Integration pathways: co-cure, retrofit to skin, and primer/paint-layer options; implications for condition-based maintenance and certification roadmap (2027–28).


Access the full analysis, test protocols, and integration guidance in the whitepaper.
