Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing: Measuring Strain Along Leaf Spring
Short Summary
Demonstrates ability of distributed sensing to obtain holistic view of strain field along leaf spring
Abstract
This engineering note demonstrates the ability of fiber optic sensors to measure strain profiles along the length of a leaf spring. Results show that fiber optic strain data correlates well to foil gage strain data while providing a more complete profile of strain events over the length of the spring.
