Structural Monitoring with Fiber Optic Technology R. R. The changes that are takingThis book is the first to address the field of structurally integrated fiber optic sensors. Fiber optic sensors embedded within materials and systems are able to measure a variety of parameters (i. e. temperature, vibration, deformation, strain, etc.) that allows for real time non destructive evaluation. Examples include the following: monitoring structural fatigue in aging aircraft or loads in bridge structures. In more advanced applications, fiber
