...Hamidreza Alemohammad; Ehsan Toyserkani This paper describes laser-based layered manufacturing processes for embedding optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in metal structures to develop cutting tools with embedded sensors. FBG is a type of optical fiber that is used for the measurement...

... for validating or improving designs during the prototype stage or to obtain information on the performance and structural integrity of functional components in service. A sequence for embedding fiber optic sensors in metals via Layered Manufacturing is developed. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors, embedded...
