Abstract:
Strength member assemblies including a strength member and at least one glass optical fiber operatively coupled to the strength member. The optical fiber is coupled to the strength member in a manner such that mechanical strains experienced by the strength member are transferred to the optical fiber so that the optical fiber may be interrogated to assess the state of the strength member.
