Abstract :
This communication reports on a novel intensity based FBG (Fibre Bragg Grating) sensors array. The FBG sensors were packaged on SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) to build a sensor array. The arrays could be embedded into the flexible surface with the technology of the smart materials and structures. Those could test the surface shape and vibration and apple to the health monitoring and damage recognition.
