T1 - Fiber Bragg grating sensors for monitoring of wind turbine blades N2 - Fiber Bragg grating sensor arrays can be used to monitor the mechanical behavior of rotor blades of wind turbines. In order to investigate how stable and reliably work such sensors, different fiber Bragg gratings 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 fiber design and the fiber material.
