여러 광섬유 센서 중에서, FBG 센서는 다중화의 큰 장점으로 인해 다른 광섬유 센서에 비해 더 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있다. 최근, FBG 센서의 적용 연구는 부착보다는 복합재료 내부에 삽입 적용되는 경우가 많아지고 있다. 하지만, FBG 센서의 삽입 시 복합재료의 강화섬유와 평행하지 않게 삽입할 경우 발생하는 센서의 복굴절 현상으로 인해 삽입에 많은 제한이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 제작이 간편하고 다중화에 영향을 받지 않으며 복합재료 내부에 삽입 시 복굴절의 영향으로부터 보다 안정한 다양한 격자 길이의 FBG 센서 제작 기법에 대해 연구하였다. 그리고, 2 가지 종류의 복합재료에 대한 성형 모니터링을 통해 제작된 센서의 신호 특성에 대해 고찰하였다.

The optical fiber is known for the proper sensor which can accomplish the structural health monitoring, Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are being studied more than any other fiber optic sensors due to good multiplexing capabilities. But because the signal stability of FBG sensors can be influenced by the strain gradient, it needs to analyze signal of FBG sensors. Particularly acoording to strain gradient induced by structural geometry or cracks, the spectrum peak of the FBG sensor signal can be split easily. In this paper, the spectrum analysis of the FBG sensor signal was performed and the region of embedment of FBG sensors was determined in $H_2$ pressure vessel by numerical method.

The deformations of concrete specimens were measured at early at early ages, in order to verify the applicability of FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors. The FBG sensors were directly buried at various locations in the beam-type RC specimens at the time of fabrication. In this experiment, the changes of strains in concrete at early age were successfully measured as the movement in wavelength of light signals. The FBG sensors may be a very effective tool to investigate the mechanical/thermal behavior inside of concrete structures.

Fiber Bragg Grating sensors currently attract a great deal of attentions, mainly due to their potentials in health monitoring for civil structures and composite materials. In this experimental study, the strains of reinforced concrete beams were measured to failure In order to verify the applicability of FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors. The FBG sensors were directly buried in concrete and attached to re-bars at the time of fabrication. In this experiment, the changes of strains in concrete and re-bars were successfully measured as the movement in wavelength of light signals. The FBG sensors may be a very effective tool to investigate the behavior inside of reinforced concrete structures.

We suggested the use of miniature hollow glass tubes having high ultraviolet (UV) transmission characteristics for the protection of optical-fiber-type UV sensors. We have recently proposed a highly sensitive optical sensor in the UV spectral range, using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) coated with an azobenzene polymer as the photoresponsive material. In this study, we used UV-transparent miniature glass tubes to protect the etched FBG with the azobenzene polymer coating. This technique will be very useful for protecting various fiber-based UV sensors.

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.

광섬유 센서 중 대표적인 FBG센서를 철도 구조물에 실제 적용하기 위해서는, 센서 자체의 기계적 강도에 대한 내구성이 확증되어야 하고, 철도 구조물의 파손 시까지 FBG 센서가 측정치를 측정할 수 있도록 충분한 변형률 한도를 가져야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 FBG센서의 기계적 강도에 영향을 미치는 변수들에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 기계적 인장 강도 시험을 위한 시험 셋업을 구성하였고, 광섬유의 광민감성을 증진하기 위해 사용된 수소함침법과 코팅층을 제거하기 위한 피복 제거기법을 사용한 FBG 센서의 인장 강도 변화를 시험 및 통계 처리를 이용하여 측정하였고, 강도저하가 거의 없음을 보여 주었다.

Fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor arrays can be used to monitor the mechanical behavior of the large composite structures such as wind turbine rotor blades and aircrafts. However, brittle FBG sensors, especially multiplexed FBG sensors are easily damaged when they are installed in the flexible structures. As a protection of brittle FBG sensors, epoxy packaged FBG sensors have been presented in this paper. Finite element analysis and experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of adhesives, packaging materials and the bonding layer thickness on the strain transmission. Two types of epoxy were used for packaging FBG sensors and the sensor probes were attached with various bonding layer thickness. It was observed that thin bonding layer with high elastic modulus ratio of the adhesive to packaging provided good strain transmission. However, the strain transmission was significantly decreased when elastic modulus of the adhesive was much lower than the packaged FBG sensor probe's one.

FBG 센서는 다중화의 큰 장점으로 인해 다른 여러 광섬유 센서에 비해 더욱 활발한 연구가 진행 되어오고 있다. FBG 센서는 센서 피크 신호의 파장 이동량을 감지함으로써 변형률, 온도 등의 물리량을 측정하는 복조기법을 가지고 있다. 하지만, 센서를 구조물에 부착 혹은 삽입 적용하는 과정에서 구조물의 기하학적인 특성이나 결함 등에 의해 구조물에 변형률 구배가 발생할 수 있으며 이는 센서의 격자 부분에 작용할 경우 센서 피크 신호의 안정성에 영향을 미처 측정 오차로 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 FBG 센서의 격자 부분에 변형률 구배가 작용할 경우 변형률 구배에 따른 FBG 센서의 신호 특성을 고찰하였고 또한 격자의 길이와 변형률 구배의 상관관계에 대해 알아보았다. 이를 통해, 변형률 구배가 작용할 경우 FBG 센서의 적절한 사용 영역을 FBG 센서의 격자 길이에 따라 정량적으로 제시하였다.

In-situ structural health monitoring of filament wound pressure tanks were conducted during water-pressurizing test using embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. We need to monitor inner strains during working in order to verify the health condition of pressure tanks more accurately because finite element analyses on filament wound pressure tanks usually show large differences between inner and outer strains. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG sensors can be easily embedded into the composite structures contrary to conventional electric strain gages (ESGs). In addition, many FBG sensors can be multiplexed in single optical fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques. We fabricated a standard testing and evaluation bottle (STEB) with embedded FBG sensors and performed a water-pressurizing test. In order to increase the survivability of embedded FBG sensors, we suggested a revised fabrication process for embedding FBG sensors into a filament wound pressure tank, which includes a new protecting technique of sensor heads, the grating parts. From the experimental results, it was demonstrated that FBG sensors can be successfully adapted to filament wound pressure tanks for their structural health monitoring by embedding.
