  • Fibre Bragg grating sensors for the analysis of pressure distribution at a disc brake/pad interface 
    Major, B. T.; Tiwari, Divya; Correia, Ricardo; James, Stephen W.; Tirovic, Marko; Tatam, James P. (SPIE, 2017-04-24)
    The use of optical fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) to monitor the Interface Pressure Distribution (IPD) on an automotive disc brake pad under a variety of loading conditions is studied. The results demonstrate successful strain ...
  • Monitoring the fabrication of tapered optical fibres 
    Mullaney, Kevin; Correia, Ricardo; Staines, Stephen; James, Stephen W.; Tatam, Ralph P. (SPIE, 2017-04-23)
    A variety of optical methods to enhance the process of making optical fibre tapers are explored. A thermal camera was used to both refine the alignment of the optical components and optimize the laser power profile during ...
