Abstract
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a growing ensemble of techniques devoted to collect and analyse data from structures in order to detect early damage, thus allowing to continuously evaluate their integrity and performance. The use of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is particularly challenging for composite materials due to their heterogeneous nature. The anisotropic behaviour, complex damage mechanisms, and poor visual detectability of internal defects make traditional inspection methods less effective. Among others, Distributed Fibre Optic Sensors (DFOS) represent a promising technique, ensuring full-field strain measurements with high resolution and real-time monitoring capability. In this context, the present work investigates an innovative hybrid optical fibre designed to optimize both sensing accuracy and installation robustness.
The hybrid configuration consists of alternating sections of fibres with acrylate and polyimide coatings
