Fiber optical measurement systems come to the fore after having been intensively investigated during the last two decades. One example is Fiber-Bragg-Gratings (FBG). This
Because FBG sensors can measure strain (and not displacement) they also provide the superior advantages of the strain measuring principle, as metal foil strain gages do.
FBG strain gauge system for structures is mainly used for changing to-be-measured physical quantities into fibre grating wavelength through fibre
