Such energetic materials form the core propellant of Solid Rocket Motors and their structural health monitoring is a key issue in the management and maintenance of guided missiles’. Bare and jacketed POF cables were embedded in to the propellants in a longitudinal manner as well as in a closed-loop fiber scheme. The intrinsic elasticity of the POFs and also the macro-bend originated losses under strain provide monitoring capability for strain and stress, higher than 10%, suggesting an efficient tool for real time condition monitoring.}, booktitle={POF 2014 - 23rd International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibers, Proceedings}, publisher={International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibers}, author={Riziotis C. and Eineder L. and Bancallari L. and Tussiwand G.}, year={2014}, pages={222–224} }
