Popis:	Understanding elastic interactions that occur between an embedded optical fiber and its host matrix is important for implementation of optical strain sensors into aerospace structures. A previously developed analytical model predicted the effects of fiber coating thickness and elastic modulus on the strain transfer from an isotropic matrix to an embedded coated fiber optic.To verify this, a series of tungsten coatings were magnetron sputtered onto bare intrinsic Fabry-Perot sensors that were embedded into a neat epoxy resin block. The block was then compression loaded and the optical strain response measured. Comparisons between the responses of both coated and uncoated sensors indicated that the experimental measurements of strain transfer in embedded fiber-optic devices yielded good agreement with the analytical model.
