Abstract

A sensor system for a reinforced elastomer panel (100) has an optical source (104) emitting an optical signal. An optical strain sensor (102) is embedded in an elastomer sheet (40) of the reinforced elastomer panel (100) and receives the optical signal. A strain processing system (108) is optical coupled to the optically strain sensor (102).
