[EN] The structural dynamic response of hydraulic turbines needs to be continuously monitored
to predict incipient failures and avoid catastrophic breakdowns. Current methods based on traditional
off-board vibration sensors ...
[EN] In structural applications of aerospace industry, weight efficiency, understood as
minimal weight and maximal stiffness, is of great importance. This criterion can be achieved by
composite lightweight structures. ...

In many civil and geotechnical applications it is of interest to monitor the strain deep inside the structure; consequently, it is necessary to embed the sensors into the structure's material. Construction and geotechnical ...
[EN] We demonstrate a largely tunable dispersion fiber Bragg grating (FBG) inscribed in a microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF). The bandwidth of the chirped FBG (CFBG) was achieved from 0.11 to 4.86 nm, which ...
