A Magnetostrictive Composite-Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a light and compact optical fiber Bragg Grating sensor for DC and AC magnetic field measurements. The fiber is coated by a thick layer of a magnetostrictive composite consisting of particles of Terfenol-D dispersed in a polymeric matrix. Among the different compositions for the coating that were tested, the best magnetostrictive response was obtained using an epoxy resin as binder and a 30% volume fraction of Terfenol-D particles with sizes ranging from 212 to 300 μm. The effect of a compressive preload in the sensor was also investigated. The achieved resolution was 0.4 mT without a preload or 0.3 mT with a compressive pre-stress of 8.6 MPa. The sensor was tested at magnetic fields of up to 750 mT under static conditions. Dynamic measurements were conducted with a magnetic unbalanced four-pole rotor.

In this paper, we present strain monitoring of a filament wound composite tank using fiber Bragg grating sensors during hydrostatic pressurization. 20 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors and 20 strain gauges were attached on the domes and cylinder of the composite tank. A wavelength-swept fiber laser (WSFL) was used as a light source to supply high signal power. From the experimental results, it ...
متن کاملComposite Failure Detection in π-Joint Structure Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors
The use of composite structures in engineering applications has proliferated over the past few decades. This is mainly due to their distinct advantages of high structural performance, high corrosion resistance, high strength and weight ratio. They are however prone to fiber breakage, matrix cracking and delaminations which are often invisible. Although there are systems to detect such damage, t...

متن کاملUnique Solution of Short Pulse Propagation in Nonlinear Fiber Bragg Grating
In this study, a new numerical method is introduced to obtain the exact shape of output pulse in the chalcogenide fiber Bragg grating (FBG). A Gaussian pulse shape with 173 ps width is used as an input pulse for lunching to a 6.6 mm nonlinear FBG. Because of bistable and hysteresis nature of nonlinear FBG the time sequence of each portion of pulse is affected the shape of output pulse. So we di...
