In situ strain and temperature monitoring of adaptive composite material

René Salathé, Véronique Michaud, Hans Georg Limberger

An optical fiber sensor is designed to simultaneously measure strain and temperature in an adaptive composite material. The sensor is formed by splicing two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) close to each other, which are written in optical fibers with different ...

Influence of lamination parameters on LTCC shrinkage under unconstrained sintering

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Yannick Sébastien Fournier, Louis-Séverin Bieri

LTCC (Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramic) has attracted considerable interest as a material for sensors and microfluidic circuits, for which dimensional accuracy is essential. The irregular shrinkage behaviour of LTCC tapes must be taken into account when des ...
