## Abstract A novel temperature‐independent strain sensor based on a fiber Bragg grating is demonstrated. The front section of the fiber Bragg grating is fixed to a crystal plate, and the other section is linearly etched in HF acid. The reflected power of the grating varies linearly with strain and

Abstract
A smart laminated composite with a simple geometry was produced with embedded fiber Bragg grating sensors. The smart structure is composed of two Bragg gratings located in regions of different thicknesses of the laminated composite. Although one of the Bragg gratings is embedded between two layers, the other is embedded in four layers. When the strain is applied to the smart composite, different response is obtained. Because of this characteristic it is possible to discriminate strain and temperature using a traditional matrix method. To reduce the inherent error, an artificial neural network approach is proposed that will improve the strain and temperature measurement discrimination when using this new configuration. These instrumented carbon fiber laminates can be used for monitoring of reinforcement and protection of structures. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
