Structural Sensing Arrays

Readily embedded in composite structures at the time of manufacture/assembly, optical sensor arrays are designed for structural condition monitoring. They provide event-based (impact) or continuous (ongoing service loading and fatigue) data for a range of strain and damage conditions. Strains can also be detected from such environmental events as movements due to earthquakes or changes in tension due to river scouring on bridge footings. The sensing arrays as large area fabrics containing optical or optoelectronic transport channels.

Characteristics:

For:
Aircraft, ground vehicles, dams, bridges

Key Benefits:
An embeddable fabric, easy to install, reliable, EMI-immune
