Monitoring Pre-Stressed Composites Using Optical Fibre Sensors

Monitoring Pre-Stressed Composites Using Optical Fibre Sensors

Residual stresses in fibre reinforced composites can give rise to a number of undesired effects such as loss of dimensional stability and premature fracture. Hence, there is significant merit in developing processing techniques to mitigate the development of residual stresses. However, tracking and...
