Optical health monitoring of composites using self-sensing E-glass fibre waveguides

Effective, non-destructive and in-situ damage detection in fibre reinforced composites (FRCs) is a field of great research interest worldwide. Currently employed optical fibre based sensors suffer from diameter mismatch between optical fibres and the reinforcing fibres, stress-transfer issues, bondi...
