A new method using electroluminescence (EL) to correlate strain/damage with EL brightness response is proposed. Using the naturally randomized EL speckle pattern in the EL-CFRP device, the 2D-DIC method is used to obtain accurate strain results. Intrinsic EL is an electro-optical phenomenon in which a doped phosphor material emits light in response to a strong electric field (usually alternating current). Traditionally, EL is used for lighting applications; however, it is demonstrated here that the structural state and EL brightness changes are interrelated. This takes advantage of the piezoresistive characteristics exhibited by the CF structure, which will cause a voltage drop within the sample and ultimately lead to changes in EL brightness. A new method for continuous SHM using the electroluminescence response of the EL-CFRP structure was proposed, and the electroluminescence piezoresistive response was verified.
