In future aircraft, integrated sensors for monitoring structural performance and structural integrity will become increasingly important. For integration into carbon-fiber- reinforced composite structures, fiber-optic Bragg grating sensors represent a very promising approach. In order to characterize the behavior of integrated sensors for different mechanical load cases theoretical and experimental investigations were conducted.
