Abstract

Composite structures are made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties and they remain separate and distinct in a macroscopic level within the finished structure. This feature allows for introducing highly birefringent polymer microstructured optical fibers into the composite material. These new fibers can consist of only two polymer materials (PMMA and PC) with similar value of the Young modulus as the composite material so any stresses induced in the composite material can be easily measured by the proposed embedded fiber optic sensors.
