abstract = "The application of fibre Bragg grating sensors for strain and force measurements in fluid dynamic experimental studies is presented. In the first example, a fibre Bragg grating is used as both a tether and a strain gauge for studies of neutrally buoyant spheres. The measured strains on the tether were found to agree well with the theory for the flow rates tested (0.14 to 0.33 m/s). In the second example a Bragg grating sensor has been used to monitor the forces acting on a cylinder as a function of flow rate and when the cylinder is translated in a stationary fluid. Excellent agreement was found between the vibration frequencies of the cylinder as measured by the Bragg grating and with a camera use to record the motion of the cylinder.",
