- Abstract:
- This paper describes a single micro-optical fiber sensor capable of measuring four strains simultaneously in a composite structure. This single transducer is based on cascading four micro Fabry-Pérot cavities to measure three normal strains and one shear strain in the plane of the optical fiber cross-section. The development of the sensor fabrication and signal processing techniques are discussed. This fabrication includes designing and fabricating new optical fibers, optical fiber circuits, and an optical fiber multi-strain sensor head. This paper presents 2D and 3D finite element analysis to establish the transformation between fiber core and composite host strain states.
