Abstract

In this study, an experiment was performed to monitor the two-dimensional shape of a cantilever composite structure using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. To monitor the shape of a composite structure, a deflection equation developed by NASA was applied and a composite beam attached to three FBG sensors was used. In the experiment, the shape of the composite beam was successfully estimated and an error was evaluated by comparing a real deflection. The error increased with real deflection; therefore, it was compensated by using the linear relationship between the error and the real deflection. After compensating the error, the measured deflection shows good agreement with the real deflection. Finally, the experiment shows that the FBG sensor and the deflection equation are suitable for monitoring the deflection curve of the beam structure with compensation of the error.

본 논문에서는 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 이용한 외팔보 형태의 복합재 구조물 2차원 형상 모니터링 연구를 수행하였다. 복합재 구조물의 형상을 모니터링하기 위해 NASA에서 개발한 처짐 방정식과 FBG 센서가 부착된 복합재 보를 이용하였으며, 처짐에 따른 복합재 보의 형상을 추정하고 동시에 실제 처짐과 측정된 처짐 크기를 비교하였다. 실험 결과 보의 형상을 성공적으로 추정할 수 있었으나 실제 처짐과 측정된 처짐이 오차가 발생하였다. 하지만 이러한 오차가 선형 관계를 갖고 있어 이를 정량화하여 보정한 후 재 실험한 결과 실제 처짐과 동일한 처짐 크기를 구할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 오차 보상을 잘 활용한다면 외팔보 구조물의 형상 모니터링을 위해 FBG 센서와 처침 방정식이 매우 유용하다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다.
