Monitoring of Curing Process of Epoxy Resin by Long-Period Fiber Gratings (2024)
Journal Article
Ivanov, O. V., Bhavsar, K., Morgan-Clague, O., & Gilbert, J. M. (2024). Monitoring of Curing Process of Epoxy Resin by Long-Period Fiber Gratings. Sensors, 24(11), Article 3397. https://doi.org/10.3390/s24113397

The curing of epoxy resin is a complex thermo-chemical process that is difficult to monitor using existing sensing systems. We monitored the curing process of an epoxy resin by using long-period fiber gratings. The refractive index of the epoxy resin...

Robustness of embedded fibre optic sensor mesh configurations for monitoring composite structures (2024)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. M., Bhavsar, K., & Ivanov, O. V. (2024). Robustness of embedded fibre optic sensor mesh configurations for monitoring composite structures. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 373, Article 115445. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2024.115445

Fibre optic sensors are attractive for monitoring of composite structures but the significant risk of damage to fibres where they enter the structure and within the structure itself can make their use unreliable. Mesh configurations of embedded fibre... Read More about Robustness of embedded fibre optic sensor mesh configurations for monitoring composite structures.

Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips (2024)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. (in press). Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips. The journal of animal ecology,

1. Behavioural variation among individuals is a hallmark of cooperative societies, which commonly contain breeders and non-breeders, helpers and non-helpers. In some cases labour is divided, with non-breeders “helping”. Conversely, in some societies... Read More about Investigating the role of non-helpers in group living thrips.
