Study of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers conductivity's dependence on a mechanical strain

In this paper, the practicality of resistivity measurement as nondestructive examination (NDE) technologies for Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) was considered through a study of CFRP conductivity's dependences on a mechanical strain, applied to a sample. Therefore, a reliable technique for electrical connection of CFRP was developed and proofed during tensile tests.
