Abstract
This paper describes embedment of a FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor in an aluminum matrix for health monitoring of aluminum based composites as a new application of FBG sensor in the field of structural materials. As FBG sensors are not handled at high temperatures, high temperature stability of them was investigated to select a method of embedding them in aluminum matrix. Taking the results into consideration, a FBG sensor was successfully embedded in aluminum by the interphase forming/bonding method using copper insert. The aluminum specimen was tensile tested under monitoring the peak shift of wavelength of the reflected light from the embedded FBG sensor, and the results showed that it has a possibility to work as a strain sensor in aluminum matrix.
