In this study, an acceleration sensor that has optical fibers to measure the inclination and acceleration of a structure through contradictory changes in two-component FBG sensors was examined. The proposed method was to ensure precise measurement through the unification of the deformation rate sensor and the angular displacement sensor. A high sensitivity three-axis accelerometer was designed and prepared using this method. To verify the accuracy of the accelerometer, the change in wavelength according to temperature and tension was tested. Then, the change in wavelength of the prepared accelerometer according to the sensor angle, and that of the sensor according to the change in ambient temperature were measured. According to the test results on the FBG-based vibration sensor that was developed using a high-speed vibrator, the range in measurement was 0.7 g or more, wavelength sensitivity, 2150 pm/g or more, and the change in wavelength change, $9.5pm/^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the structural performance tests, i.e., static tests and dynamic tests of the composite wind turbine blade, were carried out by using the embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. The composite wind turbine blade used in the test is the 1/23 scale of the 750 kW composite blade. In static tests, the deflections along the blade were evaluated. Evaluations were carried out with simple beam theory and quadratic fitting method by using the embedded FBG sensors to predict the structural behavior with respect to the load. The deflections were compared to those obtained from the laser displacement sensor and electric strain gauges. They showed good agreement. Modal tests were performed to investigate the dynamic characteristics using the embedded FBG sensors. The natural frequencies obtained from the FBG sensors corresponding to the nine mode shapes of the blade were compared to those from the laser Doppler vibrometer. They were found to be consistent with each other. Therefore, it is concluded that the embedded FBG sensors have a great capability for measuring the structural performances of the composite wind turbine blade when structural performance tests are carried out.

This study presents an experimental technique to monitor the dynamic behavior of the railway bridge system simultaneously using multiplexed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. The measuring quantities include stains, curvatures, vertical deflections, and vertical accelerations. The strains are directly measured from multiplexed FBG sensors at various locations of the test bridge followed by curvature calculations based on the plane section assumption. Vertical deflections are then estimated using the Bernoulli beam theory and regression analysis. Finally, vertical accelerations are obtained from the numerical differentiation in time domain. In order to verify the proposed method, several conventional electric strain gauges, displacement transducers, and accelerometers are installed at the mid-span of the bridge for comparisons. A test train is passed over the bridge to monitor the dynamic response of the bridge. The monitoring results show that the multiplexed FBG sensing system is able to capture the essential behavior of the test bridge while resolving wiring problem in practice.

This paper describes the flexible force sensor using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and silicone rubber for the tactile sensation to detect the distributed normal force. The newly designed FBG flexible force has simple structure and can be easily multiplexed with simple wiring compared with the other electric mechanical sensors. We designed the flexible silicone rubber transducer and found the optimum embedding position of FBG in the transducer using the finite element analysis. This flexible force sensor has good performance and is immunity to the electromagnetic field compared with any other kinds of small force sensors for tactile sensation.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are considered suitable candidates for structural materials of spacecrafts due to their excellent properties of high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. An online health monitoring method for FRP composites must be applied to space structures. However, the application of existing health monitoring methods to space structures is limited due to the harsh space environment. Here, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites embedded with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were prepared to explore the feasibility of strain monitoring using embedded FBG sensors in γ-radiation environment. The analysis of the influence of radiation on the strain monitoring demonstrated that the embedded FBG can be successfully applied to the health monitoring of FRP composites in radiation environment.

Measurement of blade strain with sensors directly installed on the blade has one critical issue, how to send the sensor signal to the ground. Strain-gauges have been dominantly used to directly measure stress of a blade and either a slip ring or a telemetry system has to be used to send measured signal to the ground. However, both systems have many inherent problems and sometimes very severe limitations to be practically used. In this paper, new on-line strain monitoring method using. FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors and a beam coupler is introduced. Measurement of rotor stress using FBG sensors is nothing new, but unlike other system which installs all necessary instruments on the rotor and use telemetry system to send data to the ground, this system makes use of light's unique characteristic - light travels through space. In this new approach, single optical fiber with many FBG sensors is installed on the blade and all other necessary instruments can be installed at ground thereby giving tremendous advantages over slip ring or telemetry system. A reference sensor is also introduced to compensate the beam coupler's transmission loss change due to rotation. The suggested system's good performance is demonstrated with experiments.

본 논문에서는 800nm급 펨토초 레이저와 위상마스크를 이용하여 게르마늄이 첨가된 일반 광섬유(Corning SMF-28)에 FBG 센서를 가공하였다. 제작된 FBG 센서는 누적방사선 100 kGy급 감마선에 조사하여 방사선 영향을 평가하였다. fs-FBG-2 센서는 방사선 조사 중에 불완전한 광특성을 보였지만, fs-FBG-1 센서는 누적선량 100kGy에서 Bragg 파장변화가 10pm 이하로 나타나 뛰어난 내방사선 특성을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 프리텐션된 고강도 콘크리트 부재에서의 전달길이를 측정하기 위해 FBG 센서가 기입된 스마트 강연선을 활용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 전달길이 측정을 위해 길이 3m, 단면 $150{\times}150mm$의 고강도 콘크리트 시험체를 총 5개 제작하였으며, 프리텐션 도입 시 콘크리트 압축강도는 58MPa로 측정되었다. 실험 결과 콘크리트 표면에 부착하는 기존의 전기 저항식 게이지보다 FBG 센서로부터 보다 정밀하고 신뢰성있는 강연선의 전달길이를 계측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 계측결과로부터 산정된 강연선 전달길이를 기존의 여러 모델들과 비교하였으며, 이를 통해 고강도 콘크리트 부재에서의 전달길이 산정에 대한 기존 모델들의 적용성을 분석하였다. 본 연구 내용은 향후 강연선의 부착 특성 분석 등의 관련 분야 연구 등에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.
