متن کاملFiber Bragg Grating-Based Vibration Sensing for Machine Prognostics
We report results from a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based scheme for vibration sensing in combustion engines. The vibration sensing is carried out using a commercial high speed spectrometer. We compare the performance of the FBG sensor with commercial PZT-based sensors and find that the FBGs perform as well.
متن کاملFiber optic-based in-cylinder pressure sensor for advanced engine control and monitoring
This paper describes the design and performance of a miniature cylinder pressure sensor packaged either as a stand-alone device or integrated with a cylinder head gasket, glow plug, fuel injector, or spark plug. Benefitting from a fiber-optic based design the sensing element can operate at ultra-high temperatures and is not affected by EMI. This low cost device utilizes the principle of light i...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF DIFFERENT GLASS COMPOUNDS FOR INTRINSIC FIBER OPTIC TEMPERATURE SENSORS
Different glasses suitable for temperature sensing in the fiber optic sensors were studied in this article. The phase changes for eight different glass materials were calculated and results were compared. Our results showed that extra dense flint glass is the most sensitive one, while pure silica results in the lowest phase change. In another study the effect of wavelength on the phase variatio...
