Structural monitoring under extreme conditions

Phase 1

Structural monitoring under extreme conditions

Acciona wants to embed wireless sensors systems into their composite building elements. This will directly contribute to reduce maintenance costs and increase safety. Electronic functionalities include sensing, wireless data transfer and energy harvesting.

Phase 2

Structural monitoring under extreme conditions

Sensor-composite assembling and validation

A first step will be to verify sensor integrability. A series of pultrusion trials will be carried out - embedding temperature and RFID sensors in both glass and carbon fiber FRP composites. 

Phase 3

Structural monitoring under extreme conditions

The following services will be applied to the Acciona case, facilitating the development of the knowledge transfer services.

    1. IPR services
    2. Standardisation & safety assessment
    3. Business modeling services
