Superposition of fiber Bragg and LPG gratings for embedded strain measurement
Abstract When a fiber Bragg grating strain sensor is embedded inside a structure, the interaction of the sensor with the host material can lead to spurious results if the radial strain is neglected. In this article, we use numerical simulations to...
