Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for monitoring at least the bending strain of at least one electric cable provided with at least one peripheral mechanically non-symmetric strength member is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A deformation monitoring method for measuring at least the bending strain of an electric cable having a geometric axis, comprising: providing the cable with at least one peripheral mechanically non-symmetric strength member having higher resistance to tensile loads than to compressive loads, at least two longitudinal structural elements, and an optical fiber sensor located in a geometrical axis region of the cable and comprising an optical fiber, where…
