Fiber optic micro sensor for the measurement of tendon forces

<p>Abstract</p> <p>A fiber optic sensor developed for the measurement of tendon forces was designed, numerically modeled, fabricated, and experimentally evaluated. The sensor incorporated fiber Bragg gratings and micro-fabricated stainless steel housings. A fiber Bragg grating is a...
