피복이 없는 FBG센서는 내구성이 매우 약하기 때문에 FBG센서 주위의 피복이 없이는, 많은 변수가 존재하는 실제 자연환경에서의 정확한 데이터수집이 어렵다. Steel sleeve packaged FBG 변형률 센서는 토목공학에서 널리 사용되고 있는 센서 중 하나이다. 변형률과 온도가 동시에 측정되는 FBG센서의 도입 이후로, 변형률과 온도의 정확한 보정은 필수적인 과정이 되었다. 이 논문에서는 FBG의 변형률과 온도의 측정 원리에 기초하여 steel sleeve packaged FBG센서의 온도보정 기술을 도출하였다. 그리고 두개의 FBG센서를 이용한 콘크리트 초기재령의 건조수축 실험을 통해 온도보정의 실행 가능성을 확인하였다.

Bridge vibration displacements have been directly measured by LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers) or laser equipment and have also been indirectly estimated by an algorithm of integrating measured acceleration. However, LVDT measurement cannot be applied for a bridge crossing over a river or channel and the laser technique cannot be applied when the weather condition is poor. Also, double integration of accelerations may cause serious numerical deviation if the initial condition or a regression process is not carefully controlled. This paper presents an algorithm of estimating bridge vibration displacements using vibration strains measured by FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors and theoretical mode shapes of a simply supported beam. Since theoretically defined mode shapes are applied, even high modes can be used regardless of the quality of the measured data. In the proposed algorithm, the number of theoretical modes is limited by the number of sensors used for a field test to prevent a mathematical rank deficiency from occurring in computing vibration displacements.89The proposed algorithm has been applied to various types of bridges and its efficacy has been verified. The closeness of the estimated vibration displacements to measured ones has been evaluated by computing the correlation coefficient and by comparing FRFs (Frequency Response Functions) and the maximum displacements.

파장을 스케닝하기 위해 Fabry-Perot 필터를 사용하는 기존의 광섬유 브래그 격자(FBG) 스트레인 측정시스템은 PZT의 히스테리시스 특성과 필터의 느린 스케닝 시간 그리고 높은 가격으로 인해 응용이 제한적이다. 광원으로 비교적 저가인 발광 다이오드(LED)를 사용하고 FBG 센서를 다중화하기 위해 코드 분할 다중화(CDM) 방식을 도입한 다중 FBG 센서 시스템을 제안하였으며 실험을 통해 특성을 측정하였다. 실험은 정적 스트레인과 동적 스트레인을 측정하기 위한 두 가지 구조의 시스템에 대한 출력과 센서 신호간의 누화를 측정하였다. 구성한 시스템은 매우 저가이고 빠른 응답속도를 갖으며 누화의 레벨은 -30 dB 이하로 측정되었다.

광섬유 센서의 복굴절 현상을 방지하기 위해 리코팅이나 유리 튜브를 이용하여 보호하는 방법이 있다. 하지만, 이와 같은 처리를 하였을 경우 센서의 변형률 전달성에 대한 검증이 아직 이루어지지 알았다. 본 연구에서는 세가지 형태(재킷이 벗겨진, 리코팅을 한, 유리 튜브로 보호한)의 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 제작하여 그라파이트/에폭시 복합재료 적층시편의 인장 실험을 통해 변형률 전달성을 검증하였다. 광섬유 센서는 삽입 적용하였고 표면에 부탁한 변형률 게이지와 값을 비교하였다. 그리고 변형률 구배가 존재하는 경사진 알루미늄 시편의 인장 실험을 통해 각 센서의 신호 특성을 비교하였다.

When subjected to fatigue loading, the main failure mode of partially prestressed concrete (PPC) structure is the fatigue fracture of tensile reinforcement. Therefore, monitoring and evaluation of the steel stresses/strains in the structure are essential issues for structural design and healthy assessment. The current study experimentally investigates the possibility of using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to measure the steel strains in PPC beams in the process of fatigue loading. Six full-scale post-tensioned PPC beams were exposed to fatigue loading. Within the beams, the FBG and resistance strain gauge (RSG) sensors were independently bonded onto the surface of tensile reinforcements. A good agreement was found between the recorded results from the two different sensors. Moreover, FBG sensors show relatively good resistance to fatigue loading compared with RSG sensors, indicating that FBG sensors possess the capability for long-term health monitoring of the tensile reinforcement in PPC structures. Apart from the above findings, it can also be found that during the fatigue loading, there is stress redistribution between prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcements, and the residual strain emerges in the non-prestressed reinforcement. This phenomenon can bring about an increase of the steel stress in the non-prestressed reinforcement.

A tunnel deformation monitoring system is developed with the use of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technique, aiming at providing continuous monitoring of railway tunnel deformation in the long term, and early warning for the rail service maintainers and authorities to avoid catastrophic consequences when significant deformation occurs. Specifically, a set of FBG bending gauges with the ability of angle measurement and temperature compensation is designed and manufactured for the purpose of online monitoring of tunnel deformation. An overall profile of lateral tunnel displacement along the longitudinal direction can be obtained by implementing an array of the FBG bending gauges interconnected by rigid rods, in conjunction with a proper algorithm. The devised system is verified in laboratory experiments with a test setup enabling to imitate various patterns of tunnel deformation before the implementation of this system in an in-service high-speed railway (HSR) tunnel.

Smart sensors and actuators have recently been developed. In this study, first, small-diameter fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors developed by the author, whose cladding and polyimide coating diameters were 40 and $52{\mu}m$, respectively, were embedded inside a laminate without resin-rich regions around sensors and the deterioration of mechanical properties of the composite laminate. The small-diameter FBG sensor was embedded in $0^{\circ}$ ply of a CFRP laminate for the detection of transverse cracks in $90^{\circ}$ ply of the laminate. The reflection spectra from the FBG sensor were measured at various tensile stresses. The spectrum became broad and had some peaks with an increase of the transverse crack density. Furthermore, the theoretical calculation reproduced the change in the spectrum very well. These results show that the small-diameter FBG sensors have a potential to detect the occurrence of transverse cracks through the change in the form of the spectrum, and to evaluate the transverse crack density quantitatively by the spectrum width. On the other hand, shape memory alloy (SMA) films were used to suppress the initiation and growth of transverse cracks in CFRP laminates. Pre-strained SMA films were embedded between laminas in CFRP laminates and then heated to introduce the recovery stress in SMA films and compressive stresses in the weakest plies ($90^{\circ}$ ply). The effects of recovery stresses are demonstrated in the experiments and well predicted using the shear-lag analysis and the nonlinear constitutive equation of SMA films.

In this study, a method predicting the displacement responseof structures from the measured dynamic strain signal is proposed by using a mode decomposition technique. Dynamic loadings including wind and seismic loadings could be exerted to the bridge. In order to examine the bridge stability against these dynamic loadings, the prediction of displacement response is very important to evaluate bridge stability. Because it may be not easy for the displacement response to be acquired directly on site, an indirect method to predict the displacement response is needed. Thus, as an alternative for predicting the displacement response indirectly, the conversion of the measured strain signal into the displacement response is suggested, while the measured strain signal can be obtained using fiber optic Bragg-grating (FBG) sensors. To overcome such a problem, a mode decomposition technique was used in this study. The measured strain signal is decomposed into each modal component by using the empirical mode decomposition(EMD) as one of mode decomposition techniques. Then, the decomposed strain signals on each modal component are transformed into the modal displacement components. And the corresponding mode shapes can be also estimated by using the proper orthogonal decomposition(POD) from the measured strain signal. Thus, total displacement response could be predicted from combining the modal displacement components.
