Fibre Optic Sensing and Intelligent Processing of Sensor Data for Structural Health Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
An intelligent monitoring procedure has been applied to fibre optic sensors (FOS) field data collected from an innovative structural system-The Taylor Bridge--in Headingley, Manitoba, Canada. The results show that FOS offer unique benefits for effective structural health monitoring of smart structures.

متن کاملFiber - Optic Sensing of Linear Thermal Expansion (RESEARCH NOTES)
The use of a LED fiber-optic sensor to measure displacement and linear thermal expansion is described. It has a sensitivity of about 0.6 mV/mm, a resolution of 1.25 mm, and a dynamic rang of 400 mm for displacement measurements. For thermal expansion, it shows a sensitivity of about 3.5 mV/C, and the experimental linear expansion values are in agreement with those calculated. The reported senso...
