The next generations of materials and design will require sensing technologies that can monitor beyond the scope of point sensors such as thermocouples and strain gauges. New sensing platforms based ...

Over the past 60 years, fiber optic sensing (FOS) has been used to enhance and test the integrity, efficiency, safety, and durability of structures, vehicles, medical devices, and more across a ...

Proximion’s rugged FBG-based sensor provides reliable results up to 600°C. Rugged: Proximion's FBG-based finer optic temperature sensors. Proximion, Kista, Sweden, has launched the WistHeat series of ...

Strain gage sensors have been used to evaluate the local behavior of structures; however, there are limited studies for its application in bridge dynamic feature identification. In this study, fiber ...

A prototype optical sensor thought to be capable of providing an early warning if a bridge is at risk of scour - the number one cause of bridge collapse globally - has been developed by a Queen’s ...

Researchers have developed a wearable PDMS sensor that uses a FBG to sense movements. The sensors could be used to monitor wrist, finger or even facial movements. WASHINGTON — Imagine wearing a thin ...
