Abstract
A method for the monitoring of deformation of components with light waveguides which are connected securely to the component at least over part of the length of the latter and are connected to a measuring apparatus with which the transmitting capacity of the light waveguide and the transit time and/or the damping of the light pulses sent through the light waveguides are continuously or intermittently monitored. The light waveguides are prestressed such that they remain in tension at all levels of deformation expected.
