Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing: Measuring Strain with PEEK-Buffered Fiber Optic Sensor
Short Summary
Discusses strain measurements obtained from PEEK fiber compared to polyimide fiber, when bonded onto a fiberglass coupon and loaded in tension.
Abstract
Optical fibers are manufactured with a variety of coatings to shield the fibers from abrasion and preserve their strength. The user’s end application and environmental conditions inform the choice in fiber coatings. This engineering note discusses strain measurements obtained from PEEK fiber compared to polyimide fiber, when bonded onto a fiberglass coupon and loaded in tension.
