ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a structure at least partially comprising a composite material, the material being made by means of sheets of fibers embedded in a matrix, the different sheets forming plies of the material, the material comprising intrinsic means for the detection and localization of a mechanical irregularity, these means comprising at least one polarization-maintaining birefrigent optical fiber having a so-called slow axis and a so-called fast axis, embedded in the matrix and describing a known path inside the material, wherein the optical fiber is included inside a casing with an internal diameter that is greater than the external diameter of the fiber.
