Strain Measurement with a Fibre-Optic Rayleigh Sensor to Determine the Thermal Load in the In-Situ Automated Fiber Placement. Presents a reliable method to separate thermal and mechanical strain in thermoplastic AFP by integrating a fiber optic sensor into the compaction roller. It reveals that optimizing laser power, placement speed, and groove design reduces residual strain, improving process reliability for aerospace composites.
