Abstract: A vehicle seat for a vehicle having a backrest part and a seat part are provided. The backrest part and the seat part each have an inner portion and side bolster portions arranged laterally on both sides of the inner portion The inner portions and the side bolster portions each have a cushion part and an upholstery part at least partially surrounding the cushion part. An abrasion-resistant coating that has a higher hardness and/or stiffness than the at least one upholstery part is at least in part arranged on at least one of the upholstery parts.

Abstract: A strain sensing device has a sub-assembly with at least one optical fiber therein, and a metallic coating encasing the sub-assembly. The metallic coating is strain coupled to the sub-assembly. A strain sensing system and a method of anticipating failure in a structure are provided. The strain sensing system and method of anticipating failure in a structure use the strain on the strain sensing device to calculate the strain on a structure of interest.
