Medium-scale levee experiments were performed to monitor the infiltration and failure of levee body by applying fiber optic temperature sensing. In this study, bio-polymer soil was spread in the levee slope to increase the strength and intensity. Therefore, the infiltration and failure by overflows were produced in a different way compared to general soil type of levees. This was also observed in the experiment data for temperature changes monitored by fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing system. Through the analysis of temperature changes at specific location by time, the location and initiation time for physical changes and infiltration in levee body could be identified based on temperature variation. In this experiment, the time of rapid changes in temperature was ahead in the inland slope rather than the forceland slope. It was corresponding to the levee failure sequence of first inland slope failure and then the forceland slope failure.

본 연구는 출력특성의 안정성과 정밀성이 우수한 광전류센서의 개발을 위하여 센싱부의 온도변화에 따른 출력신호를 검토하고, 온도변화에 따른 출력특성이 안정된 센싱부를 적용하여 출력특성을 연구하였다. 기존 광전류센서에서 중요시스템인 센싱부의 광섬유의 온도특성과 Verdet 상수의 온도의존도에 따라 출력신호가 불안정하다. 이러한 광전류센서의 온도변화에 따른 오차를 개선하기 위해 센싱부에 대한 온도특성을 분석하고, 온도변화에 내구성이 뛰어난 소재를 적용함으로써 센싱부의 안정된 출력특성을 가지는 광전류센서를 개발하고자한다.

In this study, a temperature distribution sensing method using optical fiber was applied to a large-scale levee experiment, and the applicability of wide-area levee or embankment monitoring technology to observe the changes inside the levee was reviewed. The optical fiber was buried in a large-scale levee, and the temporal and spatial temperature changes were measured according to the water level changes in the reservoir. As the water level of the reservoir increased, the temperature of the embankment slope decreased, and as the infiltration progressed, a change in the spatial location of the temperature change was detected. The temperature change due to embankment infiltration varied depending on the time of the infiltration progress, and the change assumed to be the seepage line could be observed. This study has demonstrated that information about temperature changes inside the levee can be interpreted as the information on the locations that are judged to be relatively vulnerable, investigating the changes in the condition inside the levee.

본 논문에서는 광섬유 장주기 격자쌍과 두 장주기 격자 사이에 삽입된 어븀 첨가 광섬유를 이용하며, 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서 헤드에 가해지는 동적 스트레인을 측정하기 위한 새로운 고분해능 파장 측정 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 측정 시스템에 대한 실험을 통해 제안된 시스템이 기존의 비대칭 마하 젠더 간섭계를 이용한 파장 측정 시스템에 비하여 훨씬 높은 분해능을 갖고, 외부 온도 변화에 대한 변동 또한 훨씬 적어진 것을 보였다.

We propose a multiplexed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network for vessel monitoring to measure the variation of strain and temperature by environmental perturbation based on code division multiple access (CDMA). The center wavelength of FBG was linearly changed by environmental perturbation such as strain and temperature variation so that we could be monitoring the state of sensors. A RSOA was used as optical broadband source and which was modulated by using pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) signal. The correlation peak of reflected signal from sensor networks was measured. In this paper, we used the sliding correlation techniques for high speed response and dynamic rage of sensors.

레이저 다이오드 구동 전류펄스기간의 발진주파수 변조와 간섭계 출력신호의 시간지연 샘플링을 이용하여 3x3 coupler등과 같은 특수 광부품을 사용하지 않고도 1개씩의 광원과 광검출기를 이용하여 측정신호의 변화방향과 함께 half fringe의 수를 count할 수 있으며 광연결선 주변환경의 변화에 의한 세기변화 에러도 피할 수 있는 간섭형 센서를 위한 새로운 신호처리방식을 제안하고 이 방식을 거울내장형 FP간섭계를 이용한 온도센서에 적용하였다. 온도센서소자로 cavity length가 1cm인 FP간섭계를 이용하여 실온에서 360.deg.C에 걸쳐 분해능 2.7.deg.C로 측정하였으며 이때 최대측정속도는 $ 1.378*10^{5}$.deg.C/sec로 계산되었다. 이 방식에서 분해능과 최대측정속도는 반비례 관계를 가지며 감지 광섬유의 길이에 비례하여 분해능을 높일 수 있다. 또한 6개까지의 센서소자를 한개의 광원과 광검출기로 모니터하는 다중화 센싱 또한 가능한 신호처리 방식으로써 불평형 간섭계를 이용한 모든 종류의 센서에 대해 적용이 가능하다.

An optical current sensor device that measures electric current by the principle of the Faraday effect was designed and fabricated. The polarization-rotated reflection interferometer and the quadrature phase interferometer were introduced so as to improve the operational stability. Complex structures containing diverse optical components were integrated in a polymeric optical integrated circuit and manufactured in a small size. This structure allows sensing operation without extra bias feedback control, and reduces the phase change due to environmental temperature changes and vibration. However, the Verdet constant, which determines the Faraday effect, still exhibits an inherent temperature dependence. In this work, we tried to eliminate the residual temperature dependence of the optical current sensor based on polarization-rotated reflection interferometry. By varying the length of the fiber-optic wave plate, which is one of the optical components of the interferometer, we could compensate for the temperature dependence of the Verdet constant. The proposed optical current sensor exhibited measurement errors maintained within 0.2% over a temperature range, from 25℃ to 85℃.

FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is an excellent new constructional material in resistibility to corrosion, high intensity, resistibility to fatigue, and plasticity. FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor is widely used at present as a smart sensor due to lots of advantages such as electric resistance, small-sized material, and high durability. However, with insufficiency of measuring displacement, FBG sensor is used only as a sensor measuring physical properties like strain or temperature. In this study, FRP and FBG sensors are to be hybridized, which could lead to the development of a smart FRP rod. Moreover, developing the estimated model for deflection with neural network method, with the data measured through FBG sensor, could make conquest of a disadvantage of FBG sensor - uniquely used for sensing strain. Artificial neural network is MLP (Multi-layer perceptron), trained within error rate of 0.001. Nonlinear object function and back-propagation algorithm is applied to training and this model is verified with the measured axial displacement through UTM and the estimated numerical values.
