Finite element stress analysis of optical fiber due to mechanical expansion of hydrogel coating
This paper presents the stress analysis in optical fiber due to swelling of hydrogel material coated on it. The silica optical fiber was assumed to be coated by hydrogel that consists of hydroxyethyl methacrylate, acrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker. The hydrogel swelling...
