초록

배관 구조물은 긴 길이를 가지며, 일정한 거리에 위치한 고정부에 설치되거나, 지중에 매설된다. 따라서 자중 또는 지반의 움직임으로 변형과 처짐이 발생하기 쉽다. 이러한 배관의 건전성 평가에는 형상 감시 기법이 매우 유용할 수 있다. 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서 (fiber Bragg grating, FBG)는 다중화의 장점이 있어 배관과 같이 긴 길이를 가지는 구조물의 여러 지점에서 변형률 측정에 매우 유용하다. 본 연구에서는 배관의 건전성 평가를 위하여 변형률 기반의 형상추정기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법의 유용성을 확인하기 위하여 실험을 통한 검증을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 제안된 FBG를 이용한 형상추정기법이 시험편의 변형에 따라 유사한 형상을 표현할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 형상추정기법을 통해 도출된 처짐량이 실제 배관에 가해진 처짐과 동일하게 계산됨을 확인하였다.

Long pipe structures are usually installed in fixtures located with regular intervals or laid underground. Therefore, deflection and deformation could easily occur due to their weight or ground activity. A shape monitoring technique can be used effectively to evaluate the integrity of the pipe structures. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, which have an advantage of multiplexing could be used to measure strains at multiple-points of a long structure. In this study, to evaluate the integrity of a pipeline, a shape estimation technique based on strain information was proposed. Furthermore, different experiments were conducted to verify the performance of the proposed technique. Thus, the proposed shape estimation technique can represent the shape according to the deformation of the specimen using the FBGs. Moreover, calculated deflection of the pipeline using the estimation technique showed a good agreement with the actual deflection of the pipeline.
