Abstract
A composite fiber braid arrangement includes at least one fiber optic sensor embedded in a polymer resin. The polymer resin encloses a tow formed from an untwisted bundle of graphite fibers, and the untwisted bundle, together with the polymer resin, is enclosed by an outer jacket comprised of relatively dry, non-resin-impregnated, graphite fibers. Techniques for controlling alignment of an assembly of structural members, each structural member including such a fiber braid arrangement are also disclosed.
