Abstract:In the framework of using fiber optics (FO) for structural health monitoring, a true challenge is to fix the fiber onto structures guaranteeing both protection for the former and an effective adhesion on the latter. This work proposes a method to obtain such result via thermal spray technique on metallic structures, allowing its use in the most severe conditions of corrosion and wear. Since the transmission medium between the structure and the sensitive part of the optical fiber is represented by the fiber coa… Show more
