The last couple of decades had witnessed a rise in the research of optoelectronic and fiber
optical communication fields, which resulted in applications focused initially in military and …

Rock bolts are the devices that used to reinforce the rock masses in mining tunnels and
underground excavation structures. The loading level of the rock bolt indicates the …

This article reviews the principles and application of optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) as
strain and temperature sensors for structural health monitoring applications. FBG sensors …

This paper presents an experimental method for determining the local strain distribution in
the plies of a thermoplastic 5-harness satin weave composite under uni-axial static tensile …

Metal loss in metallic structures, often as a result of corrosion, is a severe problem across
multiple industries. Catastrophic consequence of structural failure due to such loss of …

Several solutions to measure multi-axial strain in composite materials using fibre Bragg
gratings have already been presented in the literature. Most of them use Bragg sensors …

The mathematical model of a piezoelectroluminescent fiber-optical sensor is developed for
diagnostics of the 3D stress state of composite structures. The sensor model is a coaxial …

A mathematical model for the diagnostics of strain distribution along a optical fiber sensor
(light guide) with a base distributed weakly reflecting fiber Bragg grating is developed. In the …

A shear-lag model is derived for unidirectional multilayered structures whose constituents
vary throughout the cross-section through the extension of an existing optimal shear-lag …

This paper presents an integrated formulation for the calculation of the spectral response of
a fiber Bragg grating sensor embedded in a host material system, as a function of the …
