The application of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems to civil engineering structures
has been a developing studied and practiced topic, that has allowed for a better …

Crack occurrence and propagation are among critical factors that affect the performance and
lifespan of civil infrastructures such as bridges, pipelines, and so on. As a consequence …

We review recent advances in distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) and their applications.
The scattering mechanisms in glass, which are exploited for reflectometry-based DFOS, are …

This paper is a review on distributed optic fiber sensing for structural health monitoring
applications, with a deeper focus on technologies relying on the Rayleigh backscattering …

All mechanical structures are subjected to deformation and cracks, due to fatigue, stress,
and/or environmental factors. It is, therefore, of uttermost importance to monitor the …

This paper explored the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of pipelines by using fiber optic
cables embedded into textiles and interrogated using Brillouin Optical Time Domain …

Many bridges worldwide are approaching the end of their lifespan and it is necessary to
assess their health condition in order to mitigate risks, prevent disasters, and plan …

Abstract Development of a model for the analysis of strain transfer mechanism in Brillouin-
based sensors with strain singularities is provided in this study. The main objective of the …

Natural disasters, in particular earthquakes, can cause damage to pipelines with disastrous
humanitarian, social, economic, and ecologic consequences. Thus, real-time, automatic, or …

In this paper, a method to obtain crack initiation, location and width in concrete structures
subjected to bending and instrumented with an optical backscattered reflectometer (OBR) …
