Fig. 9.1 (A) Schematic representation of experimental setup of self-sensing composite
sample subjected to three-point bending: side and end cross-sectional views of lami-
nated composite beam sample instrumented with stitched and straight yarn sensors [40].
(B) Optical image of the experimental setup including mechanical testing system and LCR
(inductance-capacitance-resistance) reader and a self-sensing composite sample sub-
jected to three-point bending. (C) Optical image of a laminated composite sample instru-
mented with CNT yarn sensors [43]. (Source of (A): J.L. Abot, J.C. Anike, J.H. Bills, Z. Onorato,
