Sensing of Surface Strain with Flexible Fiber Bragg Strain Gages

From now on we will inform you regularly with articles from the ‚Sensing of Surface Strain with Flexible Bragg Strain Gages’ series.

In this contribution series, a new class of flexible fiber-Bragg strain sensors is presented together with related fiber-Bragg temperature compensation gages and an optical interrogation technique. The properties and merits of this strain sensing instrumentation are documented and its practicability is outlined.
