Abstract
A sensing assembly including a fiber for monitoring at least one condition or parameter and a strip formed from a pair of laminae disposed with the fiber. The laminae are arranged parallel to each other and engaged longitudinally along the fiber for enabling the strip to secure the fiber in place. A method of monitoring a parameter or condition with a sensing assembly is also included.
Claims18
A sensing assembly, comprising:
- a fiber for monitoring at least one condition or parameter;
- and
- a strip formed from a plurality of laminae disposed with the fiber, the plurality of laminae arranged parallel to each other and engaged longitudinally along the fiber for enabling the strip to secure the fiber in place, wherein the strip is plastically deformed about the fiber forming a fold that is displaced from the fiber.
A system for enabling the monitoring of a condition or parameter comprising:
- a component having or located adjacent to a location having a condition or parameter to be monitored;
- a fiber operatively engaged against the component for enabling monitoring of the condition or parameter;
- and
- a strip extending longitudinally along the fiber and operatively deformed about the component and plastically deformed about the fiber forming a fold that is displaced from the fiber, the strip securing the fiber to the component.
A method of monitoring a parameter or condition with a sensing assembly comprising:
- attaching a fiber of a sensing assembly to a component with a strip of the sensing assembly, the strip formed from a plurality of laminae disposed with the fiber, the plurality of laminae arranged parallel to each other and engaged longitudinally along the fiber, wherein attaching the fiber includes plastically deforming the strip about the fiber forming a fold that is displaced from the fiber.
