Researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed a new modeling system to predict the behavior of 3D-printed self-sensing materials. These materials can detect strain, load, and damage by monitoring electrical current changes, enabling real-time monitoring in structures like airplanes, robots, and bridges. The system, validated through lab experiments and modeling, predicts how materials will perform under various conditions, reducing the need for trial and error. This breakthrough could lead to more efficient development of advanced materials for aerospace, civil engineering, and beyond.
