The in-service structural performance of CFRP composites is always an important point to be investigated for its influence on structural safety. For this reason, CFRP composite plates assembled with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were developed, and the in-service structural characteristics of the CFRP plates were interpreted by FBG signals measured through time. A theoretical analysis supported by a numerical method has been provided. Experimental testing was conducted to check the proposed sensing technique for the dynamic response identification of the CFRP plate. The curing process of the bilayer CFRP plated inserted with FBGs in series was also explored. The results showed that the surface-attached FBGs in series could accurately characterize the dynamic response of the CFRP plate, and a good agreement between the numerical and testing results was observed. The strain and temperature distributions during the curing process of the bilayer plate indicated that the in-service structural performance of bilayer CFRP plates can be configured by the assembled FBG sensors. This study can support the structural health monitoring of projects by using CFRP composites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13091631","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T23:55:22Z","timestamp":1630972522000},"page":"1631","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["The Structural Performance of CFRP Composite Plates Assembled with Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6096-5256","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hua-Ping","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"},{"name":"Key Lab of Mechanics on Disaster and Environment in Western China, Lanzhou University, Ministry of Education, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5374-1214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0661-2353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]},{"given":"Hu-Yuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Civil Engineering and Architecture in Gansu Province, Lanzhou 730070, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"},{"name":"Qingyang Country Garden Project Department, Gansu Biheng Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., Qingyang 745000, China"}]},{"given":"Si-Yuan","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"},{"name":"College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"342","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paerosci.2010.05.001","article-title":"Structural health monitoring techniques for aircraft composite structures","volume":"46","author":"Diamanti","year":"2010","journal-title":"Prog.
