Tensile Characterizations of Optical Fiber Embedded in Epoxy Glass Composite

Abstract:

Photosensitive single mode optical fibers have been embedded in composite sample in order to be used in optical sensors which monitor the health of civil engineering structure.A simple composite with epoxy vinyl ester matrix reinforced with E-glass unidirectional fibers was implemented using two embedded optical fibers. Interfacial adhesion stress was determined using pull-out test and stress values are correlated to fracture mechanisms based on SEM observations.
