Abstract
An experimental setup for a systematic study of an electromagnetic field effects in carbon fiber polymer matrix composite plates was developed. This setup provides an effective way to introduce an electric current to the carbon fiber polymer matrix composites and includes procedures for measurements of the temperature and magnetic field. Good electrical conductivity of composite has been achieved by introducing electrically conductive materials between composite and electrodes. It was determined that among various electrically conductive materials tested in this study, silver-filled epoxy ensures the lowest impedance interface. The developed experimental setup is important for various studies, where electrified fiber-reinforced composites are used.
