Summary:RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is commonly used to monitor goods along the supply chain. The feasibility of the application of a RFID tag to monitor CFRP components was demonstrated in a previous work by some of the authors. This work is aimed at evaluating how the integration of a RFID tag inside a CFRP laminate affects the quasi-static strength and the failure mode. Finite element modelling is used to design a specimen with an embedded tag, that may be representative of the tensile state of stress in a larger laminate. Tensile testing is performed both up to failure and by interrupting tests at different load levels in order to inspect the specimen by C-scan. Acoustic Emission (AE) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) are used as additional non-destructive monitoring techniques. Some interrupted tests were selected to extract micrographic sections that illustrate damage development in the laminate. The extensive destructive and non-destructive characterization allowed to quantify the effect of embedding a RFID tag in the laminate in terms of strength decrease and failure mode. [Display omitted]
