Mizutani, Y. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)This paper describes the measurement of average strain, strain distribution and vibration of a cantilever beam made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP), using a single Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor mounted on the beam surface. Average strain is determined from the displacement of the peak wavelength of reflected spectrum from the FBG...journal article 2011

Miesen, N. (author), Mizutani, Y. (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Sinke, J. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This paper demonstrates that existing Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) techniques have potential during the production phase in addition to their application for maintenance and for in-flight monitoring. Flaws occur during composite fabrication in industry, due to an imperfect process control and human errors. This decreases production...conference paper 2011
