The studies on the strain measurements in as-cast condition and its comparison after thermal cycling of the composites using the bandwidth measured are discussed. Analysis of the bandwidth offers a tool to understand that the wavenumber shift is strain induced. With this, the compressional state of the fibres embedded in the matrix can be analysed.
