Conventional silica optical fibers can be embedded into composite structures or packaging to provide structural monitoring capabilities. In this paper, the microbending optical losses induced by th…
The temperature response of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) embedded in carbon fiber reinforce polymers (CFRPs) is investigated in this paper. To provide strain-free temperature measurements, two piece…
The spatio-temporal evolution of the temperature induced over carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates during drilling is monitored in real-time using a distributed optical fiber sensor bas…
