This paper quantifies the sensing capabilities of novel smart materials in an effort to improve the performance, better understand the physics, and enhance the safety of parachutes. Based upon a recent review of actuation technologies for parachute applications, several materials showed potential for sensing applications within a parachute, specifically electrically conductive fabrics and suspension lines. This paper introduces several new electrically conductive fabrics and suspension lines and provides an evaluation of the sensing performance of these smart materials based upon test results using mechanical testing. |
