Composite Optical Cable Installation Monitoring
Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) techniques such as Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS), Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) are powerful tools for continuous monitoring of large assets. The CORECHECK® system allows to conveniently control the integrity of the composite core at any stage of its life: before, during and after installation. Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety, durability, and performance of civil infrastructure. This review delves into the significant advancements in optical fiber sensor (OFS) technologies such as Fiber Bragg. This paper describes the concept of a distributed fiber optic smart textile (DFOST) embedded into a composite panel that can be implemented during the fabrication process of bridges, planes, or vehicles without damaging the integrity of the composite.
