Shape and deformation measurement using multicore optical fibres

This thesis investigates the use of a novel optical fibre sensor (OFS) for structural monitoring in remote or inaccessible areas. OFSs are desirable for this application because they are intrinsically safe, add little weight and are free from electrical interference. Fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) in p...
