Strain Gauges vs Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing, Part 1 of 3: Introduction
Fiber Optic Sensing (FOS) systems have an intrinsic advantage over traditional Strain Gauge (SG) technology, namely they are capable of measuring strain along the sensing fiber in multiple locations. Sensuron’s…
Nondestructive Damage Evaluation by Ensyso and Sensuron
In close collaboration with NASA, Sensuron developed compact fiber optic sensing systems that can provide continuous strain measurements. One major challenge facing the development of prominent nondestructive damage evaluation (NDE)…
Cost Comparison – Fiber Optic Sensing versus Strain Gauges
Sensuron’s fully distributed fiber optic sensing technology enables a paradigm shift to take place in the areas of structural testing and monitoring. One frequently overlooked aspect of this shift is…
We’re All Getting Older: Accelerated Lifecycle and Fatigue Testing
Shrinking military budgets often necessitate the use of vehicles and aircraft well beyond their service lives. For example, according to STARS and STRIPES, among the Navy’s concerns is a rapidly…
New Affordable Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing Platform Now available
Distributed fiber optic sensing has traditionally been a steep entry price technology to get behind. It has been a common issue for many years that has led many engineers to…
