Abstract

Most researches have been done for past few decades on distributed sensor and also fabricating the fibre optic to make sensor to detect vibration, cracks on the building and environmental factors. Due to the fact that fibre optic sensors are small, electrically isolated and immune to electromagnetic fields, they are an adequate choice to incorporate into the composite material designs. In this study, the transmission losses due to pressure on an optical fiber to determine the pressure sensitivity were investigated using a commercial optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). A multimode optical fiber (50/125) was subjected to pressure using various mass in the range of 500 g to 2000 g at 25 m and 50 m from the end of the fiber. The mass was placed on the fiber using microbend test rigs.
