“…Nevertheless, since the outside diameter does not contribute in the calculation of C given by the Fitt model (Eq. (7)), it was still possible to predict the pressure needed, fabricate this asymmetric structure, and create a fiber useful for the intend application [50].…”

The efficient and accurate fabrication of Microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) requires a practical understanding of the 'draw process' beyond what is achievable by trial and error, which requires the ability to predict the experimental drawing parameters needed to produce the desired final geometry. Our results show that the Fitt et al. fluid-mechanics model for describing the draw process of a single axisymmetric capillary fiber provides practical insights when applied to more complex multi-hole symmetric and asymmetric MOF geometries. By establishing a method to relate the multi-hole MOF geometry to a capillary and understanding how material temperature varies with the draw tower temperature profile, it was found that analytical equations given by the Fitt model could be used to predict the parameters necessary for the chosen structure. We show how this model provides a practical framework that contributes to the efficient and accurate fabrication of the desired MOF geometries by predicting suitable fiber draw conditions.

“…20 Two different types of microstructured optical fibers were used in these experiments. The first is an exposed-core microstructured optical fibers (ECF) that has a suspended micron-scale core partially exposed to the external environment [21][22] ( Figure 2, left), which allows consistent washing, drying and refilling of the biosensor during its use. The second type of fiber has air holes within its cross section and is known as a suspended-core microstructured optical fibers (SCF), 23 see Figure 2 right.…”

The new agreement specifically addresses what authors can do with different versions of their manuscript -e.g. use in theses and collections, teaching and training, conference presentations, sharing with colleagues, and posting on websites and repositories. The terms under which these uses can occur are clearly identified to prevent misunderstandings that could jeopardize final publication of a manuscript (Section II, Permitted Uses by Authors). Easy Reference User Guide Posting Accepted and Published Works on Websites and Repositories:A digital file of the Accepted Work and/or the Published Work may be made publicly available on websites or repositories (e.g. the Author's personal website, preprint servers, university networks or primary employer's institutional websites, third party institutional or subject-based repositories, and conference websites that feature presentations by the Author(s) based on the Accepted and/or the Published Work) under the following conditions:• It is mandated by the Author(s)' funding agency, primary employer, or, in the case of Author(s) employed in academia, university administration.• If the mandated public availability of the Accepted Manuscript is sooner than 12 months after online publication of the Published Work, a waiver from the relevant institutional policy should be sought. If a waiver cannot be obtained, the Author(s) may sponsor the immediate availability of the final Published Work through participation in the ACS AuthorChoice program-for information about this program see http://pubs.acs.org/page/policy/authorchoice/index.html.• If the mandated public availability of the Accepted Manuscript is not sooner than 12 months after online publication of the Published Work, the Accepted Manuscript may be posted to the mandated website or repository. The following notice should be included at the time of posting, or the posting amended as appropriate: "This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in [JournalTitle], copyright © American Chemical Society after peer review and technical editing by the publisher.

“…The sensors development and monitoring techniques had been improved and the inclusion of the durability parameters has been an upgrade, to promote a better damage characterization and an accurate structural lifetime prediction [97]. A significantly quantity of optical sensors has been developed and implemented, motivated by the better signal to noise ratio, good sensitivity, electromagnetic interference immunity, multiplexing possibility, low size and weight, robustness, low attenuation on remote monitoring, and no electrical power needed at the measuring point, among other advantages [52,98,99].…”

Advances in the development of sensors, data processing systems, and numerical models have motivated the implementation of structural health monitoring (SHM) specially focused on the assessment of structural safety. Thus, this work presents a literature review about SHM platforms, especially from 1993 to 2015. In this way, a short history review about the recent advances on SHM, mainly related with dynamic monitoring, was summarized, and a benchmark and the main guidelines related with SHM platforms were also included in this review. Some case studies are also described here. Special attention was given to SHM platforms, and a method for their classification (an extension of Rytter's method) is presented. In addition, experiences related with heritage constructions, specially focused on maintenance, were included in this work. In the final section, some observations are made about the new prospects for SHM. The recent advances on SHM platforms contributed to the development of adaptive systems and to the cost reduction of the monitoring systems implementation, allowing the increase of its application in real structures. However, the monitoring systems should be implemented, optimizing all the available sensing technologies.
