Three dimensional circular braided Glass/Aramid hybrid fabric/epoxy resin composite was fabricated. FBG sensor was embedded along the braid yam in order to monitor the internal dimensional changes of the 3-D braid composite. The amount of cure and thermal shrinkage of epoxy resin was also determined using FBG sensor system. FBG sensors with different grating length were embedded and their response were compared. The thermo-optic coefficient of FBG sensor was measured by several preliminary experiments. The internal strain that measured by FBG sensor and electric strain gauge was compared during compressive test. The released residual strain of the fabricated tubular composite was estimated using cutting method. The internal strain of the composite was estimated using FBG sensor system, and the result was compared with the value from electric strain gauge. It was found that FBG sensor system is a very useful technique to investigate inside region of complicated structure.

PVDF film sensor was applied to measure the stress concentration for monitoring the structural integrity. The strain calibration of this film sensor was performed by the bending test of aluminum beam. The PVDF sensor and the electrical strain gage were bonded on the beam. When the beam was loaded, the output of electrical strain gage was compared with the output of the PVDF sensor. The waveform of PVDF sensor output was shown as the same form of the output of electrical strain gage. The gain was determined as 1.7 by comparing these two signals to determine the exact value of the strain. In order to experiment the stress concentration, the stress field was analyzed by finite element analysis. The tensile test of notched steel specimens was conducted to develop the measurement technique of stress concentration. The output voltage ratio between the PVDF sensor near the notch and the PVDF sensor far from the notch could give the information about the load bearing capacity of steel specimen.

광섬유 센서는 구조물에 대한 비파괴적인 측정이 가능하고, 전자파에 의한 간섭이 발생하지 않으므로, 전자파 장애의 영향을 무시할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 구조물 건조시 콘크리트 같은 대상체에 광섬유를 내장시킬 경우에는 검사시 대상체를 파괴시키지 않고서도 대상체의 손상여부와 역학적 거동을 측적 및 해석할 수 있는 비파괴 검사기술이다. 특히 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 그러한 대상체에 대한 비파괴 검사를 수행하는데 가장 적합한 센서이다. 광섬유 브래그 격자는 특정파장의 빛을 반사 또는 제거시키는 특성을 지니고 있으며, 스트레인 같은 물리량이 광섬유 브래그 격자에 가해지면, 반사되는 빛의 중심파장이 이동하여 이를 통해 물리량을 측정할 수 있다. 정 동적 스트레인을 측정할 수 있는 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 건축물이나 토목구조물 등의 안전 진단(health monitoring)을 위해 사용되고 있으며, 최근에는 도로나 교량과 같은 토목 구조물로의 응용에 있어서 필수적인 동적 스트레인의 측정에 대해 그 관심이 집중퇴고 있다. 본 연구에서는 패브리-페로(Fabry-Perot) 필터를 이용하여 다중점에서 동적 스트레인을 측정할 수 있는 센서 시스템을 제작하였으며, 제작된 센서 시스템을 모의 구조물(외팔보)에 적응하여 모의 구조물에 가해지는 정적, 동적 스트레인을 측정하였다. 측정 결과는 기존의 전기적 센서와 유사하였다.

FBG sensor의 다중 측정성을 이용하여 모르타르 시편의 열 변형률과 온도 변화를 동시에 측정하였다. 또한, 광섬유 격자 센서를 이용하여, 열 변화에 따른 모르타르 시편의 내부 온도 구배를 측정하였다. 열 변형률을 기존 strain gauge와 함께 측정하였을 때, strain gauge는 섭씨 60도 이상의 온도에서 오차를 보이는 반면, FBG 센서는 안정된 측정값을 나타냈다. FBG 온도 sensor로 측정한 온도 변화량은 thermocouple로 측정한 값과 비교하였으며, 선형적인 대응관계를 보였다.

단일 광섬유 격자와 Yb와 Er이 첨가된 광섬유를 이용한 스트레인 및 온도의 동시 측정을 시행하였다. 스트레인과 온도에 대해서 $1100\;{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ and $50-180\;^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 $55.8\;{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ 와 $3\;^{\circ}C$의 오차를 가지고 측정하였다. 본 센서의 소형 및 저가의 특성으로 미루어 볼 때 넓은 범위의 스트레인 센서로 활용가치가 높다고 사료된다.

Recent development of fiber optic sensors and wireless sensor technology, made structural health monitoring of railway structures cost effective. In this paper, a micro bending fiber optic rail pad sensors are evaluated for train axle force measurement. In order to assess the usability of FBG fiber optic sensors for short-term bridge measurement, the FBG sensors and conventional strain gauges are installed at the same points and the strain results are compared. Also the impact factors are calculated using the FBG strain responses and the results are compared with the conventional sensor responses. A running KTX train was instrumented with wireless sensor system to measure the vibration characteristics and the results are compared with conventional wire sensor system.

This paper describes a fabrication multiplexing sensor probe that employs a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) based on multiple measurements to determine the blade deflection of a wind power generator the reliability analysis of this probe is also presented. To diminish the temperature sensitivity of the FBG sensor, we form multiple CFRPs onto the upper and lower layers of the FBG and package it with an epoxy resin. As a result, the depth of the CFRP is 1mm, and the temperature sensitivity is $2.39pm/^{\circ}C$. We construct a sensor network utilizing the fabricated sensor with a blade beam model. As the number of pendulums is increased on the fore-end of the beam, the strain value is measured. The strain variation is calculated from the measurement of the load on the blade beam model by monitoring the strain of the FBG sensor. When the linear equation is applied, the strain error is 0.4% and when the finite difference method is used, the tip deflection error is 3.3%. The displacement error derived from the strain value of the FBG sensor is 4.39%. The calculated result between the measured value of the dead-end of the beam and the strain is less than 2.46% tip distortion error. Therefore, our proposed multiplexing sensor probe is a low-cost and high-reliability solution for a commercial wind power generator.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are electrically conductive. When CNFs are used as fillers in resin, this electrical conductivity can be yielded without adversely affecting the mechanical properties of the resin. When an elastomer is adopted as the resin, a conductive elastomer can then be produced. Due to its flexibility and conductive properties, a large strain sensor based on changes in resistivity may be produced, for strain sensing in flexible structures. In this study, a patch-type large strain sensor using resistivity change in a CNF/elastomer composite was proposed. The measurement limits of the sensor were investigated experimentally, and the limit was found to be 40%, which greatly exceeded the limits of conventional metal-foiled strain gages. Also, the proposed CNF/elastomer large strain sensor can be used to measure flexible materials, while conventional strain gages cannot be used to measure such strains.

For monitoring of the civil and building structure, optical fiber sensors are very convenient. The fiber sensors are very small and do not disturb the structural properties. They also have several merits such as electro-magnetic immunity, long signal transmission, good accuracy and multiplexibility in one sensor line. Strain measurement technologies with fiber optic sensors have been investigated as a part of smart structure. In this paper, we investigated the possibilities of fiber optic sensor application to the monitoring of beam-column joints of structures. We expect that the fiber optic sensors replace electrical strain gauges. The commercial electric strain gauges show good stability and dominate the strain measurement market. However, they lack durability and long term stability for continuous monitoring of the structures. In order to apply the strain gauges, we only have to attach them to the surfaces of the structures. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using fiber optic Bragg grating sensors to joint structure. The sensors show nice response to the structural behavior of the joint.
