 <p>The 2020 CIF funded Modular Composite Damage Detection System (MCDDS) aims to advance the technology of damage detection in composites in the areas of thin, flexible damage detection panel construction, encapsulation techniques in composite matrixes, innovative integration and interfacing techniques with flexible embedded sensory panels, repair methods of composite materials, and improved packaging of the MCDDS. Custom thin, flexible polyimide printed circuit boards (PCBs) were designed and procured for fabrication of test specimens. A custom interface PCB was designed and fabricated to monitor the newly developed damage detection test specimens. Test specimens were fabricated using the novel flexible circuitry that were either fully or partially encapsulated. The fully encapsulated specimens were used to demonstrate embedded damage detection concepts and the partially encapsulated specimens were used to demonstrate surface-mounted (laminate) damage detection concepts.</p>
 <p>The new composite damage detection test specimens were tested and evaluated to determine if the novel damage detection sensory panels could withstand low-cycle threshold fatigue loading per a modified version of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 7264 for up to 50 cycles without void formation. The data for multiple sensory panels indicates that the newly fabricated sensory panels are robust and do indeed withstand three-point bend flexural loading for more than 50 cycles.</p>
 <p>Additionally, testing was performed to determine if damage could be detected in damage detection test specimens subjected to failure using a 3-point bend test per a modified version of ASTM D 7264. Again, multiple sensory panels (both fully and partially encapsulated) showed the ability to detect damage to specimens subjected to failure per a modified version of ASTM D 7264. Additionally, a novel concept for tracking and monitoring of cracking (and potentially delamination) in composites was designed and developed that utilizes painted-on conductors.</p>
