Abstract

Smart structures research has focussed upon the many different subsystems making up the smart structure with the exception of the power/communication interface. In the case of embedded fiber optic sensors, an acceptable solution has yet to be found. A preferred solution would not involve physical interconnection between the power/interrogation subsystem and any embedded electronics. One method which offers promise to provide this solution is based upon inductive coupling between a surface mounted interrogation coil and an embedded coil connected to some local system. In this paper, a description of such a system is provided detailing its basic operating principles, the design/performance of a pc based demonstration system, results from sensors embedded in composite coupons and a discussion of how the system may properly be called a smart subsystem.
