The structural health monitoring of endless fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs), as well as the monitoring of textile membranes for civil engineering applications, plays a crucial role for the advancement of lightweight design approaches. It is only through structurally integrated condition monitoring systems, that damages can be detected early on, thus enabling local repairs before complete structural failure occurs. The performance can furthermore be considerably extended or increased by an additional functionalization, e. g. textile-processible and structurally integrated sensors and actuators in the same FRP component.
