Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing: Measuring Strain Across Welds
Short Summary
Demonstrates high spatial resolution capability of DFOS to look at strain across weld
Abstract
While strain gages adhered to welds will average the strain across the gage area, utilizing fiber optic sensing allows the user to measure the strain profile across a weld with a very high spatial resolution. This engineering note demonstrates measurement of strain across the welding joints of a motorcycle handle bar instrumented with a fiber optic sensor.
