Fig. 1. Strip-type deformation sensors. One ply of cured carbon fiber/epoxy prepreg to be monitored is used as a thin, flexible sheet with optical fibers — one embedded in the upper surface and one in ...

Researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering have developed a solar-powered, wireless sensor system that can continually monitor bridge deformation and could be used to alert authorities ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...
