STRAIN MEASURING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210165 titled 'STRAIN MEASURING DEVICE
The patent application describes a strain measuring device that utilizes two sensing optical fibers to measure strain on a measurement target. The first sensing optical fiber is placed on the surface of the target, while the second sensing optical fiber is parallel to the first but spaced apart from the surface. An optical fiber guide with an inner cavity is bonded to the surface of the target, positioning the second sensing optical fiber within the cavity. A controller receives measured values from both fibers to determine strain.
