Structural Modifications

Structural fiber optic sensors include

By exploiting light propagation in optical fibers, fiber-optic sensors—such as Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs), interferometric sensors, and distributed sensing technologies (e., distributed strain, temperature, and acoustic sensing)—provide intrinsic advantages for structural. Structural health monitoring (SHM) is currently an extremely effective and vital safeguard measure. Because of the fiber-optic sensor's (FOS) inherent distinctive advantages (such as small size, lightweight, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and corrosion, and embedding capability), a. Conventional structural monitoring approaches typically rely on discrete electrical sensors and periodic inspections, which often provide limited spatial resolution, are vulnerable to electromagnetic interference, and can be costly to deploy and maintain across large or distributed assets. The working principle is based on the modulation of light properties (intensity, wavelength, phase, or polarization) in response to changes in the measured.
