With embedded sensors, the structures are capable of monitoring parameters at such critical locations not accessible to ordinary sensors. Recently, fiber optic sensor emerges as one promising technology to be integrated with structures. Embedding of fiber optic sensors into composites and some metals, especially those with low melting points, have been reported. However, all reported embedding ...
متن کاملMonitoring Pre-Stressed Composites Using Optical Fibre Sensors
Residual stresses in fibre reinforced composites can give rise to a number of undesired effects such as loss of dimensional stability and premature fracture. Hence, there is significant merit in developing processing techniques to mitigate the development of residual stresses. However, tracking and quantifying the development of these fabrication-induced stresses in real-time using conventional...
متن کاملStructural Monitoring of Hybrid Specimens at Early Age Using Fibre Optic Sensors
Hybrid structures, notably bridges, consisting of steel girders and concrete decks, are designed to explo it in the best way the mechanical properties of both materials. In order to guarantee safe, durable and low-cost service of such structures, a long-term quality and a robust connection between steel and concrete must be guaranteed. Even if experience in construction, maintenance and exploit...
