Abstract
A fiber optic system and method of use is disclosed. The fiber optic system comprises a laminated, pre-stressed, piezoelectric actuator; and a fiber optic strain gage having an input/output fiber, wherein the fiber optic strain gage is attached to a surface of the laminated, pre-stressed, piezoelectric actuator. The fiber optic system is useful for performing dynamic mechanical analysis on a sample.
