Force measurements in magnetic bearings using fiber optic strain gauges /

The research presented here develops a new method for measuring forces in magnetic bearings. Fiber-optic strain gauges (FOSGs) mounted to the side of the magnet poles are used to detect the small levels of strain that the metal experiences as the bearing exerts a force. These strains can be conver...
