Abstract
A shear-stress sensing system can include a floating element whose displacement can be detected through use of optical measurements. The system can utilize high temperature materials to deliver the optical signal to the structure to be measured, which can also utilize high temperature materials. In one embodiment, an intensity modulation or phase modulation of a reflected signal can be measured to determine the shear stress. In another embodiment, a Moire fringe pattern can be used to determine the shear stress.
