TY - JOUR A1 - Zabihi, Mohammadmasoud A1 - Krebber, Katerina T1 - Approach for Faster Signal Processing in Փ-OTDR Systems Based on Directional Measurement of Fiber Slices Interaction N2 - In this study, a signal processing approach for heterodyne Փ-OTDR and C-OTDR systems that can obtain external perturbation and its frequency content in a faster way is proposed. We can detect vibrations with the same or better SNR using this processing approach, only with a single step and fast calculation. Fig. 12 shows the comparison of the normalized measurement time for the gamma matrix method and the conventional method throughout the three experiments. The speed of processing using a gamma matrix is ~35%–50% faster compared to a conventional method in high frequency test (PZT), low frequency test (walking) and street monitoring test. The processing speed in low frequency test is normally a bit lower than the similar high frequency one, since we must use higher number of time frames. Also, in street test we have higher speed because we can select wider gauges.

By using one probe pulse as a reference in a system with two or more probe frequencies, we can remove unwanted low frequency noise that is originally caused by the laser source. Although LSFD is problematic issue, it is not the only source of low frequency noise. Change in temperature, humidity, physical surroundings, environment, etc., can result in such noises. The proposed method; however, is expected to highly suppresses all of these effects, regardless of their source, either in the time or frequency domain. For comparing reference and probe signals, there are sophisticated methods, rather than normal differentiation, available for use. Some of these methods have a close relationship with CPD methods and can further enhance the results. These methods can be further discussed in an independent research or future work. The proposed method is very helpful for increasing accuracy in passive and active seismic monitoring, reservoir monitoring, underwater monitoring, etc. It also helps using relatively simpler laser sources and make the whole system price-efficient, as well as processing data without lengthy compensation algorithms.

Compared to conventionally produced cylindrical steel tanks, the fiber-reinforced solutions allow greater flexibility in the tank design. Despite a number of further material-related benefits of fiber-reinforced composites as non-conductive and non-magnetic behavior as well as corrosion resistance and high strength, the optimization of their thermal degradation properties during combustion is still a challenge. To improve the fire performance of lightweight composite containers, special intumescent fire protection coatings can be applied onto the outside tank surface. This paper presents fire tests on glass-fiber-reinforced plastic transport tanks with complex geometries sheltered with different surface-applied fire protection systems. To evaluate the fire resistance of the tank structures, a fiber optic monitoring system was developed. This system is based on distributed temperature measurements using high-Resolution optical backscatter reflectometry and pointwise reference measurements using fiber Bragg gratings. Thereby, all the fiber optic sensors were directly integrated in the composite layer structure of the tanks. The focus of the presented work is on the demonstration of capability of fiber optic monitoring system in such high-temperature application. Moreover, the fiber optic measurements provide new insights into the efficiency of intumescent coating applied for fire protection of fiber-reinforced plastic transport tanks.

Auch die offenen Sicherheitsfragen bei der Entsorgung radioaktiver Abfälle einschließlich Zwischen- und Endlagerungsproblematik verstärkt die Nachfrage nach effizienten Monitoringsystemen zum Schutz von Mensch und Umwelt vor ionisierender Strahlung. Aufgrund ihrer messtechnisch vorteilhaften Materialeigenschaften stellen die faseroptischen Strahlungssensoren eine vielversprechende Alternative zu traditionellen Dosimetern dar. Bedingt durch ihre kleinen Abmessungen, elektromagnetische Unempfindlichkeit und ihr geringes Gewicht können faseroptische Sensoren in einer harschen Umgebung an schwer zugänglichen Stellen eingesetzt werden. Darüber hinaus bietet diese Art der Sensoren die Möglichkeit der ortsverteilten Messung entlang der gesamten Sensorfaser. Somit kann durch eine einzelne optische Faser eine Vielzahl an punktuell messenden Sensoren ersetzt werden. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die in der BAM vorangetriebenen Entwicklungen unterschiedlicher Sensorprinzipien, -lösungen und -verfahren zur Detektion ionisierender Strahlung. T2 - 2.

Dabei tragen die Ergebnisse der an der Amsterdamer Brücke 705 durchgeführten Belastungstests wesentlich zum Verständnis des Strukturverhaltens bei. Das Konzept der statischen Belastung basierte auf dem Einsatz von zwei 36-Tonnen-Lastwagen, die an mehreren vorbestimmten Stellen auf der Brücke anhielten. Die auf diese Weise aufgebrachte Last führte zu ortsabhängigen kleinen Durchbiegungseffekten, die als lokale Längsdehnung der an der Unterseite der Brücke integrierten Sensorfaser aufgezeichnet wurden. Die reflektometrischen Messungen beruhten auf dem Prinzip genannt TW-COTDR (Tunable Wavelength Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry). Die Messgenauigkeit lag im Bereich von 0,5 µm/m.

In the face of increasing traffic density and severe traffic loading, the results of the load tests on the Amsterdam bridge 705 make an important contribution to the understanding of its structural behavior. The concept of the static loading was based on the use of two 36-ton trucks stopped on the bridge at multiple pre-determined locations. The load applied in this way led to location-dependent small deflection effects recorded as longitudinal strain of the sensing fiber embedded at the underside of the bridge. The measurements were performed with a commercially-available solution based on Tunable Wavelength Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry with the measurement accuracy in the range of 0.5 µm/m.
