Spatial Damage Sensing Using Carbon

Carbon nanotube-based sensors embedded in structures can detect damage by measuring electrical impedance changes. Researchers developed a sensor system using these principles and electrical impedance tomography to identify and localize damage in structures. The system was able to accurately detect and map simulated damage in composite materials. Widespread use of such sensor networks could improve bridge and infrastructure safety monitoring to help address the subpar ratings many structures receive in the U.S.

Introduction and Motivation
The overall rating for safety of the bridges in the United States is C+ and one in nine of the
nations bridges are rated as structurally decient (2013 ASCE Report Card).
Structural health monitoring (SHM) and Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) are becoming
viable tools to collect quantitative data from in-service structures concerning condition and
