Results for tag: "Distributed Strain Sensing"

Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS) is a type of sensor technology used to measure strain in a distributed manner. It is used to measure strain in a variety of applications, such as structural health monitoring, bridge monitoring, and pipeline monitoring. DSS sensors are typically embedded in a structure and measure strain in multiple locations. This allows for a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the strain in the structure. The data collected by the sensors can be used to detect changes in the structure, such as cracks or other damage. DSS sensors are typically made of fiber optic cables, which are embedded in the structure and measure strain by detecting changes in the light passing through the cables. The data collected by the sensors is then transmitted to a central monitoring system, which can be used to analyze the strain in the structure. Companies in the DSS market include OptaSense, Fotech Solutions, and FiberSensing. Show Less Read more
