Strain-gauges have been dominantly used to measure strain at various points on a rotor, however, either a slip ring or telemetry has to be used to send sensor signals to data acquisition instruments at stationary side. Both slip ring and telemetry have numerous inherent problems which force severe limitations in real applications. This paper introduces a new rotor condition monitoring system using FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors and a rotary optical coupler. A single optical fiber with many FBG sensors is installed on the rotor and an optical dynamic interrogator is installed at stationary side. The sensor signal connection between rotating part and stationary part is made by the rotary optical coupling method which makes use of light's unique characteristic-light travels through space. Broad band light source from the interrogator travels to the optical fiber on the rotor and reflected FBG sensor signals travel back to the optical fiber on stationary side and are connected to the interrogator. Rotary optical coupler's insertion loss change due to rotation is compensated by using a reference sensor installed at the center of the rotor. The proposed system's performance has been successfully demonstrated by accurately measuring strains at 5 points on a blade rotating at high speed.

This paper reports on measurement method for the fiber optic strain monitoring of overhead contact line systems of trains, We used FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors to measure the strain variation of overhead contact line. FBG sensors can sensitively measure the variation of strain and! or temperature by the shift wavelength of reflected wave according to the lattice variation during the measurement. FBG sensor were attached on the contact line and connected to the monitoring system with optical fibers. The monitering system with FBG sensors showed very good sensitivity to measuring strain variation and this system could be applied to the overhead contact line of KTX (Korea Train eXpress).

최근 국내에서 개발된 광섬유 격자소자(FBG: Fiber Bragg Grating)를 이용하여, 3종의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer를 설계 및 제작 하였다. 제작된 3종류의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer는 기존의 광섬유 센서가 지니고 있는 우수한 장점들을 지니고 있을 뿐만 아니라, sensor arm 구성이 간단하여 실용화에 큰 장점을 지니고 있다. 제작된 3종류의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer 는 주파수 특성이 10 Hz~18 kHz 대역에서 음파 검출이 가능하였고, 트랜스듀서의 최적 공진 조건을 이용하여 최대 8.6 m 거리까지 신호 검출이 가능하였다. 특히, 기존의 음향 센서를 대신하여 전기적 잡음이 많고, 열악한 환경에서 저 주파수 신호 검출에 실용화를 기대할 수 있고, 센서 어레이(array)시스템 구성을 통하여 고감도 및 다중점 음파 검출 시스템으로 발전될 수 있다.

광섬유 격자는 외부의 가해진 물리량에 대해 선형적인 응답을 하며, 광섬유 격자의 파장 인코딩 특성으로 인해 S/N비가 높은 신호 처리를 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 편광 유지 광섬유 격자를 이용한 압력 센서에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 편광 유지 광섬유 격자는 위상 마스크를 이용하여 Bow-Tie형 광섬유에 형성시켰는데, 편광 유지 광섬유는 두 개의 고유 편광 축을 가지므로 두 개의 브래그 peak을 가진다. 종방향 스트레인과 온도 변화에 따른 두 개의 브래그 파장 변화를 측정한 결과 각각 1.2 pm/.mu..epsilon.의 종방향 스트레인에 대한 파장 민감도와 11.4 pm/.deg. C의 온도에 대한 파장 민감도가 관측되어, 단일 모드 광섬유 격자의 보고된 값과 거의 일치하였다. 반면에 편광 유지 광섬유 격자에 횡방향 스트레스를 가하면 두 브래그 파장사이의 간격이 변화함을 관측하였고, 두 브래그 파장 간격에 대하여는 14.6 pm/N의 횡방향 스트레스에 대한 파장 민감도를 얻었다. 편광 유지 광섬유 격자 센서는 온도의 변화에 무관한 횡방향 스트레스 즉, 압력센서로 이용할 수 있음을 보였다.

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.

The tactile force sensor was studied using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). The FBG is able to multiplex easily and is immune to electromagnetic environment. A sensor frame was designed to a cantilever beam type. Strain of a beam is related with the peak shift of a bragg wavelength. Finite Element Method (FEM) was used for getting an appropriate thickness from 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm thick. FEM results showed that 0.3 mm thick was suitable for the force range 10 N. The force resolutions of 0.039 N and 0.113 N were obtained with optical spectrum analyser and tunable Fabry-Perot filter, respectively.

In this paper, we present thermal characteristics of high-temperature measurement sensor using fiber Bragg grating(FBG), including peak reflectivity, FWHM bandwidth and various normalized refractive index change along temperature variation. The temperature stability of FBG temperature sensor can be changed by varying the refractive index change and grating length. The proposed FBG temperature sensor can measure up to about $600^{\circ}C$ and 1000 hours of heating time.

Recently, composite materials are widely used for nozzle, pressure vessel, skins of satellite and many structures under condition of high temperature due to good thermal characteristics such as low CTE, heat-resistance, etc. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG(fiber Bragg grating) sensors, can be a good counterproposal of strain gages for the measurement of material properties of composites under high temperature. In this research, T700/Epoxy specimens with embedded FBG sensors were fabricated and tested at the Instron with thermal chamber from room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$. The effects of embedding optical fiber on material properties were also verified. And, the experimental results were discussed and analyzed by microphotographs of the composite specimen.
