FBGS seals strategic partnership with 4DSP LLC to deliver structural monitoring solutions
14.00
"Aligning with 4DSP gives our customers unique access to a cutting edge technology that perfectly complements our All Grating Fiber (AGF). We are providing the engineering community with a technology which for the first time impacts every facet of product development and deployment including design, test, implementation and monitoring” said Hugo Mertens, CEO of FBGS in a statement. All grating fiber and fiber optic strain, temperature and 3D shape sensing will go hand-in-hand to multiplex thousands of sensors for accurate strain or temperature measurements and shape sensing.
4DSP’s Fiber Optic Sensing System (FOSS) was developed in conjunction with NASA Dryden Flight Research Center and is now used in many different industries to revolutionise structural health monitoring, where very high density sensor networks are required on a single optical fiber.
Although developed to serve the aerospace industry, applications in automotive, oil and gas, medical devices and wind energy have been established. This new technology offers real-time knowledge of the behaviour of the component or entire structure, giving engineers the ability to optimise designs following FEA and other software tools used in the evaluation of new materials for longer, safer in-service life.
