Patent abstract
A fiber Bragg grating compression sensor and a flexure mount that is attached to the sensor to significantly enhance its compression sensitivity. By incorporating the flexure mount, compressive forces are converted to tensile forces allowing an entire new set of measurement possibilities. The sensor may be used in implantable tendon and ligament force sensing or as a generalized compression sensor.
