Fiber Bragg grating-based thermometer for drill bit temperature monitoring

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

The temperature measurement of a drill bit during an implantology drilling process is proposed by using a fiber Bragg grating fitted inside the drill bit. Due to the rotational nature of the drilling process, a free-space fiber-optic rotary joint is used f ...

Delamination monitoring using low frequency stress waves for laminated composites

Wei Shi, Zhisheng Yang, Pingyu Zhu

Owing to the anisotropy of composite laminates, local responses happens at periphery of the drilled hole even under the same loads. The strain measurement is probably the most sensitive and better option to detect and quantify delamination inside composite ...
