Wang, X. (author), Xiao, Y. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)Nanoparticle- (NP-) doped optical fibres show the potential to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and thus the sensitivity of optical fibre strain detection for structural health monitoring. In this paper, our previous experimental/simulation study is extended to a design study for strain monitoring. 100 nm spherical gold NPs were randomly...journal article 2024

Xiao, Y. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Embedding fiber optic sensors (FOSs) within parts for strain measurement is attracting widespread interest due to its great potential in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM). This work proposes a novel method of embedding FOSs using capillaries within solid structures and investigates fiber positions and orientation uncertainties...journal article 2023
