High-Density Distributed Crack Tip Sensing System Using Dense Ultra-Short FBG Sensors

Crack generation starts at the crack tip, which bears the highest stress concentration. Under further stress, the crack propagates and leads to severe structural damage. To avoid such damage, the identification of the crack tips, and monitoring of the surrounding stress and strain fields, are very i...
