Research abstract
Not Available An innovative multi-point fiber grating strain sensor deformation measurement system is described. This novel system has the potential to provide accurate multidimensional measurement of radar platform deformations while having the advantages of being immune to electromagnetic interference and having small size and very low weight. The sensors associated with this system are non-intrusive and embeddable. A combination of axial and transverse strain sensing fiber gating sensors are used to determine deformation. Several of these sensors may be multiplexed along a single fiber line. The sensors and demodulation equipment in this system are compatible with other fiber grating sensors used for structural health monitoring. Phase I of this program will demonstrate the feasibility of this system to measure the out-of-plane deformation in a composite part.
