Can fiber Bragg gratings be used to measure deflection
In this work, we present and discuss on the deflection estimation of a bi-dimensional panel by using Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) as strain sensors embedded in the structure and a method based on the classical beam theory. A fiber Bragg grating is a small length of optical fiber that comprises a pattern of many reflection points that creates a reflection of particular wavelengths of incident light.
