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 multiplicity of 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 und dominate tile 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.

온도 변화에 민감한 1480 nm LD로 펌핑되는 erbium doped fiber와 단일 광섬유 브래그 격자를 사용하여 스트레인과 온도를 동시에 측정할 수 있는 센서 헤드를 구성하였고 optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) 대신에 마하젠더 간섭계를 demodulator 로 사용하여 측정 정밀도와 속도를 향상 시켰다. 출력 신호의 진폭 변화로 측정한 온도의 최소 측정 단위는 0.05$^{\circ}C$이고 위상 변화로 측정한 스트레인의 경우는 0.1$\mu$strain으로서 0.07 nm의 측정 해상도를 가지는 OSA를 demodulator로 사용하는 경우보다 측정 정밀도가 각각 140배 이상과 700배 이상 향상되었음을 볼 수 있었다.

This Paper describes a matched-filter type strain sensor system using optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor. Matched-filter type uses another wavelength-matched FBG filter to track wavelength shift in the FBG sensor. Filter FBG is attached on a fiber stretcher and stretched by PZT actuator. To overcome the nonlinearity and hysteresis of the PZT actuator that degrades system accuracy, a string resonator which can measure an absolute strain is employed. And the effect of vibration modes on string resonator is investigated particularly regarding its sensitivity and stability.

The measuring method of structural strain by a 3*3 passive-demodulated fiber optic interferometric sensor was developed to implement the real-time monitoring of structural status. A 3*3 fiber optic Michelson interferometric sensor was constructed to sense the value and the direction of structural strain. This sensor was applied on the cantilevered aluminum beam to experiment the sensing of the structural deformation. The digital signal processing was programmed by LabVIEW to determine the structural strain from the fiber optic signals. This program was verified by various simulated fiber optic signals. Finally, the structural was well determined by this developed program from real fiber optic signals.

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.

Longitudinal strains({$varepsilon}_x$) of the core and skin layers in glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) cross-ply composite laminates have been studied using the embedded optical fiber sensor of totally-reflected extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer(TR-EFPI). Foil-type strain gauges bonded on both the upper and lower surfaces were used for the measurement of the surface strains. Both TR-EFPI sensor and strain gauge bonded on the specimen surface showed excellent agreement within -0.0086 ~ +0.0302% strain. It was shown that values of {$varepsilon}_x$ in the interior of the surface layer and the core layer measured by embedded TR-EFPI sensor was significantly higher than that of the specimen surface measured by strain gauges. The experimental results were ascertained with finite element analysis. Embedded TR-EFPI optical fiber sensor could measure accurately the internal strains which were different from the surface.

In LNG Tank, it is very important to measure the strain in Membrane by theoretical and experimental stress analysis. In this paper, perform the test about strain gage, thermal sensor and lead wire to make clear the properies. The test results conclude that stress measurement by strain gage must consider the effect of many factors to measure strain acculately. The corrections should be made on apparent strain, lead wire length and Membrane shape. It is also important to measure the temperatures accurately at the strain gage location

본 연구에서는 광섬유 센서의 일종인 격자소자(Fiber Bragg Grating sensor)를 모형말뚝에 설치하고 말뚝의 하중전이 측정을 시도하였다. 말뚝의 축방향 하중 및 주면 마찰력의 분포를 측정/분석시 사용되고 있는 스트레인 게이지에 의한 방법에 비해 광섬유 격자소자는 한 라인에 여러 개의 센서를 설치함으로써 여러 지점을 동시에 측정할 수 있다는 것과 센서의 설치가 용이하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 광섬유 격자소자와 스트레인 게이지를 모형말뚝에 함께 매설하고 재하시험중 하중전이를 측정한 결과, 두 측정치가 상당히 유사한 경향을 보였으며, 센서의 생존정도와 설치의 용이성에 있어서는 광섬유센서가 우수한 결과를 보였다. 따라서, 광섬유 격자소자의 말뚝 하중전이 측정에 대한 적용 가능성이 충분한 것으로 결론지었다.

In this paper, we implemented a polarimetric strain sensor using a Sagnac birefringence interferometer composed of a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF). By changing the length of the PM-PCF employed as the sensor head of the proposed sensor, the length dependence of the strain sensitivity was investigated. With respect to 5.0-, 7.5-, and 10.0-cm-long PM-PCFs, strain measurements were done in a measurement range of $0{\sim}6m{\varepsilon}$, and strain sensitivities of ~2.04, ~1.92, and ${\sim}1.73pm/{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ were obtained, respectively. If an ideal PM-PCF with no length dependence of a modal birefringence is used for the proposed sensor, the strain sensitivity is independent of the length of the sensor head (PM-PCF). In the practical PM-PCF used in experiments, however, a shorter PM-PCF has a higher length dependence of the modal birefringence due to its imperfectness and nonuniformity of the internal structure, resulting in a higher length dependence of the strain sensitivity.
