Imbedded optical fiber sensor of differential strain and temperature in graphite/epoxy composites

A novel optical fiber sensor for the measurement of strain and temperature in graphite-epoxy composite materials using differential interferometry is described. The sensor uses two single-mode optical fiber waveguides imbedded within the composite during prepreg ply lay-up. Strain and temperature ch...
