Abstract
A sensored composite structure comprises a coherent bundle of fibers having structural strength and optical transmissivity properties embedded in a matrix, whereby stresses and other parameters of the structure may be measured by reference to the image resulting from light transmitted through said coherent fiber bundle. Other properties of the fibers, such as magnetic and thermochromic, may be utilized to measure other parameters such as temperature and magnetic flux.
