Strain Gauges vs Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing, Part 3 of 3: Results and Benefits
1 Results The beam response subjected to a point force was obtained by hanging a weight with known magnitude at the end of the beam for…
Strain Gauges vs Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing, Part 2 of 3: Sensitivity and Setup
1 Fiber Strain Sensitivity The two direct measurements of all Sensuron interrogators are mechanical strain and temperature. This is due to the inherent sensitivity of the Bragg wavelength, as…
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…
