Tensile stress loaded on smart composite structures and thermal stress occurred during the curing process of the smart composite materials with embedded optical fiber sensors affect directly the mechanical behavior of the embedded optical fiber sensors within the smart composite structures. Stress distribution within the optical fiber sensors varies with respect to the stacking sequence of the composite laminate and the coating conditions of the optical fibers. The cracks occurred within the composite laminate affect not only the fracture of the composite laminate but also the fracture of the optical fiber sensors embedded within the composite laminate. In this study, firstly, stress distribution of the optical fiber sensors embedded within the composite laminate which is subjected to the tensile and thermal stresses was analyzed using Finite Element Method. And, secondly, the effect of the stacking sequence of the composite laminate and the coating conditions of the optical fiber sensors on the stress distribution of the optical fiber sensors was investigated. Finally, the effect of the crack occurred within the smart composite laminate on the fracture behavior of the optical fiber sensors was also observed through the tensile test.
