A force sensor apparatus includes a tube portion having a plurality of radial ribs and at least
one fiber optic strain gauge positioned over each of the plurality of radial ribs. The strain …

A multi-axis force sensor measures forces and moments occurring in more than one spatial
direction. In this way, a single multi-axis sensor can perform what is essentially a three …

The current status of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor technology was reviewed. Owing
to their salient advantages, including immunity to electromagnetic interference, lightweight …

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are one of the most exciting developments in the fields of
fiber-optic sensors in recent years. One of the problems in using grating sensors is the …
