Dynamic Strain Measurement Using Improved Bonding Fiber Bragg Grating
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study proposes an improved bonding method for attaching a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) on surface of a structure to measure its dynamic strains. The improved bonding fiber Bragg grating is called IBFBG for short in this study. The bonding method provides the chance to let the IBFBG and resistance strain gauge measure the longitudinal strain at the same point. This study use two steel cantilever beams, one with rectangular cross section and the other with circular, to demonstrate the ability of the IBFBG in dynamic strain measurements. Their dynamic strains are induced by impacts of a steel ball in free-fall transversely or in pendulum axially, respectively. The obtained strain time histories from both the IBFBG and strain gauge are nearly proportional in amplitudes; in addition, the Fourier spectra of those time histories show the IBFBG recognizes the natural frequencies of the cantilever beams up to 20000 Hz.

Using Genetic Algorithm for Parameter Reconstruction of a Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating
We propose a novel method for multiple parameters and phase reconstruction of a chirped Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) through two thermally-modulated reflection intensity spectra and genetic algorithm. Two temperature distributions are used to modulate the chirped FBG’s intensity spectrum in order to synthesize FBG’s parameters through a genetic algorithm. Thus, the phase response can be reconstruc...

We propose and demonstrate a novel sensor by using a single-fiber Bragg grating that can simultaneously measure strain and temperature with the aid of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. By using a linear variation in the amplified spontaneous emission power of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier with temperature, we determine the temperature. By subtracting the temperature effect from the fiber Brag...
متن کاملIn Search of Multi-Peaked Reflective Spectrum with Optic Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor for Dynamic Strain Measurement
Abstract: In a typical optic fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain measurement, unless in an ideal static laboratory environment, the presence of vibration or often disturbance always exists, which often creates spurious multiple peaks in the reflected spectrum, resulting in a non-unique determination of strain value. In this report we attempt to investigate the origin of this phenomenon by physical...
