The Effect of Embedded Optical Fibers on the Static Mechanics of Composite Materials

Abstract:

This paper mainly investigates the effect of embedded optical fibers on the tensile and bending propertities of cross-ply glass fiber reinforced plastics. Different optical fibers and different embedded layers are both considered. The results show nearly all the specimens are varying within a small region. But 3 OF at 0°embedded in bending specimens exhibit about 18.3% reduction, and the effect of 3 OF in the under layer is more than that of 3 OF in the upper layer.
