  • Remote optical crack sensing system including fiberoptics
    Patent number: 4636638
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for remotely detecting cracks of sub-critical lth which originate from stress raisers in structural materials, wherein the apparatus typically comprises a source of light, a continuous length of optical fiber to conduct the light, strain responsive devices coupled to the fiber and bonded to the structural member in close proximity to the stress raisers, and a light responsive detector which is optically coupled to the fiber in order to detect breaks in the fiber induced by either tensile or shear forces eminating from cracks around the stress raisers.
