Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing – A Catalyst for Innovation

By

For decades, discrete point sensing technologies such as strain gauges and thermocouples have served as reliable tools for measuring strain and temperature. However, the concept of ‘good enough’ has often hindered innovation in the field. The emergence of distributed fiber optic sensing platforms has revolutionized the measurement landscape by offering spatially continuous, real-time data and […]

FIU Bridge Collapse: The True Value of Structural Health Monitoring

By

It’s been a year and a half since a pedestrian bridge collapsed at Florida International University in March of 2018, killing six people. Recently, OSHA came out with a 115-page report concluding that the tragedy could very well have been prevented. Just hours before the bridge collapsed, its design engineers inspected the deep structural cracks

Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensing – A Thousand Points of Light

By

Organizations that put a premium on safety and reliability have been using test and measurement solutions for years to validate structural integrity (strain), moderate temperature, and gain insight into places not visible with the human eye. Traditionally, strain and temperature were measured using electrical sensing technologies, such as foil (strain) gauges and electrical vibrating wire.
