Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems have been studied by engineers and researchers for years [1-7], yet the applications of Triboluminescence (TL)-based SHM system for aerospace and civil structures are to a degree unexplored. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers composites (CFRP composites) have been increasingly applied in structure manufacturing due to their extraordinary mechanical properties. To realize the in-situ monitoring and minimize the effects of embedding damage sensors into CFRP composites, TL crystals and carbon materials were used. Therefore, in this study, TL crystals (ZnS:Mn) acted as damage indicators, and solid-state all carbon photovoltaic sensors can form a sensory network to detect TL light and identify the damage/defects. Photovoltaic (PV) sensors introduced in this study focuses on using micro-sensor devices within the composite materials SHM system, which also explores the utilization of TL materials in these advanced materials systems. The conception of this 3D sensing system will be brought up in the first two chapters. The methods of fabricating different kinds of photovoltaic (PV) intrinsic sensors are described later in detail. The experimental results will focus on the effects of cell thickness, counter electrode (CE) type, and cell length on the cell light/electricity conversion efficiency. In the last part of research work, PV sensors have been tested under various light wavelengths using LEDs and TL crystals. Applications in industrial areas and future prospects will be discussed in the last chapter.
