Patent ID: 7552644

Claim:
An arrangement for determining loads on a fiber composite component, comprising: a fiber composite component including plural fiber layers comprising a fiber composite material; and at least one strain sensor unit, which strain sensor unit comprises a foil strain gage including a measuring grid covered with insulating layers on both opposite sides of said measuring grid, and which strain sensor unit further comprises electrical connecting pins electrically conductively connected to and extending perpendicularly from said measuring grid; wherein: said at least one strain sensor unit is respectively integrated into said fiber composite component in that said strain gage is sandwiched between at least one of said fiber layers on a first side of said strain gage and at least one of said fiber layers on a second side of said strain gage opposite said first side, and said connecting pins extend perpendicularly through and protrude outwardly from said at least one fiber layer on at least one of said sides of said strain gage so that respective contact portions of said connecting pins are externally accessible for making electrical contact therewith outside of said fiber layers of said fiber composite component.
