T1 - Monitoring of the rotor blades of wind turbines by fibre optic sensors T2 - Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Materials Testing "TEST 2005" N2 - In order to monitor the mechanical behaviour of the rotor blades of wind turbines, fibre optic sensors are increasingly attached to or embedded in the blades. Usually, fibre Bragg grating sensors arrays are then used. In order to investigate how stable and reliably work such sensors, fibre Bragg grating arrays were embedded into textile-reinforced composite. Long-term temperature and tensile (fatigue) tests have been carried out with composite structure specimens. This paper reports on selected results of the tests and discusses important reliability aspects with regard to the fibre design and the fibre material.
