【 摘 要 】

The goal of our research is to prove that the single-mode optical glass fibre used in telecommunications and in the optical loss test set used for the characterization of telecommunication networks is suitable for the structural health monitoring of polymer composites made from unidirectional e-glass fabric (UD). We built optical fibre into UD specimens and analysed the relationship between the power of the emitted light from the optical fibre, and the deformation of the specimen. Based on these results, a cost-effective measurement method can be achieved.
