TY - CHAP A1 - Wosniok, Aleksander ED - Werneck, M.M. ED - da Silva Barros Allil, R.C T1 - POF Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring N2 - The ever more ambitious strategic goals of meeting the requirements in ensuring technical safety and security of civil structures have resulted in flourishing development of innovative structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies for early damage diagnosis and prognosis. At the same time, implementing SHM systems provides tangible economic benefits derived from lower life-cycle costs associated with reduction in the maintenance, repair and insurance expenses. Due to the large size and harsh environmental conditions common to most civil structures, the broad range of favorable physical-mechanical properties of POFs allow for customized monitoring solutions for a wide variety of applications. In addition to common SHM-related advantages of optical fibers including their electromagnetic immunity, small size, lightweight as well as spark-free and non-conductive characteristics, POFs offer better bending and fracture resistance then their glass-counterparts. Particularly, the improved robustness of POFs, their ease of handling, low Young’s Modulus and high elastic limit of 10% compared to 1% in silica glass [1] are relevant to practical applications. Depending on the composition, dopants, drawing process and geometry [2], strain measurement up to 45% [3] or even above 100% [4,5] has been demonstrated with standard POFs. Therefore, the dominant market expected for POF sensors includes monitoring of high-strain-rate deformations in earthwork structures, crack detection in concrete and masonry structures [6] or overstressing in high-rise steel structures exposed to moisture, corrosion, leakage, fatigue, vibration, fire, overflow, earthquake and intentional damage. For fracture monitoring within concrete structures, the sensory usage of POFs becomes especially favorable since the extremely alkaline environment of concrete mixtures is well known to be corrosive to standard silica glass optical fibers (GOFs) [1,7]. Most of advanced distributed sensing techniques are commonly based on Rayleigh backscatter reflectometry using commercially available multimode (MM) POFs. Such typical MM POFs range from a step-index (SI) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) POF having a core diameter of 1 mm to a low-loss graded-index (GI) perfluorinated (PF) POF based on poly(perfluorobutenyl-vinylether) also known as CYTOP [8] with a 50 µm core diameter. The relatively low optical attenuation value of 30 dB/km at 1.3 µm [9,10] makes PFGI POFs also interesting for distributed Brillouin sensing [11-14]. Compared to GOFs, PFGI POFs offer better potential for temperature measurement and have comparably low theoretical attenuation limit [15]. Therefore, POF-based distributed Brillouin sensing is expected to play an important role in the future of SHM, especially at high-strain ranges. The significance of the Brillouin measurment technique can be also enhanced by further development of the single-mode (SM) POFs which are still subject of research and are used for coherent detection techniques [6]. Furthermore, SM PMMA POFs have been characterized in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer setup for strain values up to 15.8% [16,17]. The current development of SM perfluorinated and microstructured POFs (mPOFs) represents an immense promise for quasi-distributed dynamic measurement at high strain levels based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology. While SM mPOFs with optical losses of about 1 dB/m can be fabricated [6], the SM PF POFs presented by Zhou et al. feature low attenuation of even less than 0.2 dB/m in the wavelength range of 1.41 µm to 1.55 µm [18]. At the same time, the SM PF POFs have the potential for improved thermal stability compared to their PMMA counterparts [19]. This whole chapter provides a comprehensive overview on current POF-based sensing principles and SHM technologies, highlighting their diverse applications in civil engineering structures. In the application-related context, close attention is paid to the development of smart sensor-based geotextiles and geogrids. Such geosynthetics-integrated distributed POF sensors have proven to be a promising solution for two- or even tree-dimensional monitoring of critical high mechanical deformations in both geotechnical and masonry structures. Moreover, geosynthetics in the form of nonwoven geotextiles as well as polymer-based geogrids used as carrier materials for POF sensors enable optimized load transfer from the monitored structure to the measuring fiber without losing their original functionality. In other words, smart geosynthetics provide a cost-efficient dual solution for, on the one hand, well-established increase of structure stability and decrease of erosion effects, on the other hand, early-warning and detection capabilities in the prevention and elimination of potential hazards and lasting damages.

T1 - Fiber Optic Train Monitoring with Distributed Acoustic Sensing: Conventional and Neural Network Data Analysis N2 - Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) over tens of kilometers of fiber optic cables is well-suited for monitoring extended railway infrastructures. As DAS produces large, noisy datasets, it is important to optimize algorithms for precise tracking of train position, speed, and the number of train cars, The purpose of this study is to compare different data analysis strategies and the resulting parameter uncertainties. We present data of an ICE 4 train of the Deutsche Bahn AG, which was recorded with a commercial DAS system. We localize the train signal in the data either along the temporal or spatial direction, and a similar velocity standard deviation of less than 5 km/h for a train moving at 160 km/h is found for both analysis methods, The data can be further enhanced by peak finding as well as faster and more flexible neural network algorithms. Then, individual noise peaks due to bogie clusters become visible and individual train cars can be counted. From the time between bogie signals, the velocity can also be determined with a lower standard deviation of 0.8 km/h, The analysis methods presented here will help to establish routines for near real-time Train tracking and train integrity analysis.

These commercially available polymer fibers offer beneficial characteristics for sensing applications such as higher break down strain up to 100 %, minimal bending radii below 2 mm, higher sensitivity to temperature and lower sensitivity to strain compared to their silica equivalent. The chosen wavelength of operation at 1319 nm corresponds to lower fiber propagation loss (< 37 dB/km) compared to other approaches at 1550 nm (150 - 250 dB/km). A 86 m PFGI-POF was successfully measured by BOFDA with spatial resolution of 3.4 m. The findings related to humidity influences can serve as a basis for future distributed humidity sensors not only limited to stimulated Brillouin backscattering.

T1 - Applicable ultrafast all-optical switching by soliton self-trapping in high index contrast dual-core fibre N2 - The improvement potential of ultrafast all-optical switching by soliton self-trapping, using all-solid dual-core fibres with high index contrast, was analyzed numerically. The study of the femtosecond nonlinear propagation was performed based on coupled generalised nonlinear Schrödinger equations considering three fibre architectures: homogeneous cladding all-solid, photonic crystal air-glass, and photonic crystal all-solid. The structural geometries of all three architectures were optimised in order to support high-contrast switching performance in the C-band, considering pulse widths at the 100 fs level. Comparing the three structural alternatives, the lowest switching energies at common excitation parameters (1700 nm and 70 fs pulses) were predicted for the homogeneous cladding dual-core structure. Further optimization of the excitation wavelength and pulse width resulted in lower switching energies and simultaneous improvement of the switching contrasts at the combination of 1500 nm, 75 fs pulses and a fibre length of 43 mm. The spectral aspect in this optimised case expresses a broadband and uniform switching character with a span of over 200 nm and a contrast exceeding 30 dB at more frequency channels.

Insbesondere Hochenergiekabel, wie diese sowohl im Offshore- als auch im Onshorebereich eingesetzt werden, sind prädestiniert für eine zustandsorientierte Überwachung.

We significantly extend the attenuation-limited distance range by making use of the multidimensionality of distributed Rayleigh backscatter data: Using the wavelength-scanning coherent optical time domain reflectometry (WS-COTDR) technique, backscatter data is measured along the distance and optical frequency dimensions. In this work, we develop, train, and test deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for fast denoising of these two-dimensional backscattering results. The very compact and efficient CNN denoiser “DnOTDR” outperforms state-of-the-art image denoising algorithms for this task and enables denoising data rates of 1.2 GB/s in real time. We demonstrate that, using the CNN denoiser, the quantitative strain measurement with nm/m resolution can be conducted with up to 100 km distance without the use of backscatter-enhanced fibers or distributed Raman or Brillouin amplification.

T1 - Faseroptische Leckage-Ortung zum Nachweis von Undichtheiten in Bohrlochkomplettierungen N2 - Im Rahmen der Integritätsbewertung einer zementierten 13 3/8" Rohrtour einer Sole-Produktionsbohrung wurden erstmals 2018 zeitgleich faseroptische Temperaturmessungen (DTS, Distributed Temperature Sensing) und faseroptische Akustikmessungen (DAS, Distributed Acoustic Sensing) durchgeführt und ausgewertet. Dazu wurde die Bohrung zeitweise mit Stickstoff bespannt und wieder entlastet. Durch die Bespannung der Bohrung mit Stickstoff in Kombination mit dem Herunterdrücken des Stickstoff-Sole-Spiegels unter den Rohrschuh der 13 3/8" Rohrtour, konnte Stickstoff aus der Kavernenbohrung durch eine Leckagestelle in die Zementation übertreten und dort ein Stickstoff-Reservoir bilden. Bei der anschließenden Stickstoffentlastung erfolgte der Wiederanstieg des Stickstoff-Sole-Spiegels deutlich schneller als die Entleerung des in der Zementation angelegten Stickstoff-Reservoirs. Der dadurch entstandene Druckgradient hatte zur Folge, dass an der Leckagestelle der Stickstoff aus der Zementation in die aufsteigende Sole in Form von Bläschen eingetreten und dort aufgestiegen ist. Dieser Übertritt der Stickstoffbläschen war sowohl mit der Entstehung eines akustischen Geräusches als auch mit einer Temperaturänderung verbunden, welche mit der DAS- und DTS-Technik nachgewiesen werden konnten. Um die Ergebnisse bzgl. ihres physikalischen Hintergrundes zu überprüfen und basierend auf einer mathematisch-physikalischen Grundlage eine nachvollziehbare Interpretation der Messergebnisse zu ermöglichen, wurde ein numerisches Simulationsmodell der gekoppelten Festkörper- und Druckakustik für die Bohrung aufgebaut. Das Modell berücksichtigt die Geologie und die Komplettierung der Kavernenbohrung. Nach Identifikation der Schallquelle konnte mit dem Modell die Ausbreitung des Schalldrucks in der Bohrung erfolgreich nachgestellt werden. Um dieses Verfahren einer simultanen DAS-DTS-Messung in eine feldtaugliche Version zu überführen, läuft seit November 2019 ein breit angelegtes und vom BMWi gefördertes ZIM-Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), der IAB Weimar gGmbH, der GESO GmbH & Co. Projekt KG, der DEEP.KBB GmbH sowie der Rembe Consulting PartG mbB. Durch die Messdatenkopplung und den Wegfall der bewegungsbedingten Nachteile einer Messsonde werden präzisere Ergebnisse zur Bewertung der Bohrlochintegrität erwartet. Das Ziel ist, mit Hilfe der noch zu entwickelnden einfachen und robusten Technik, quantitative Aussagen über die Zustände im verrohrten Bohrloch direkt am Messplatz treffen zu können, wobei ein Fokus auf Detektierung und Quantifizierung von Kleinstleckagen liegt. Im Rahmen dieses Forschungsprojektes kommt neben numerischen Berechnungen auch ein geplanter Bohrlochsimulator zum Einsatz, mit dem umfangreiche Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung der Grenzparameter und Detektionsschwellen durchgeführt werden sollen.

DAS, thus being a "dynamic" sensing technique, allows for online condition monitoring and the detection and localization of threats or hazards in real time via characteristic acoustic/vibration states and their changes or via occurring anomalous signals, respectively. At BAM, we have employed this technology for a number of different applications of monitoring of large infrastructures, e.g., bridges, pipelines, submarine power cables or railway tracks. Currently, we are investigating the use of DAS for further innovative uses, which aim at facilitating the energy transition, enabling "smart" infrastructure and providing the basis for comprehensive hazard monitoring and warning systems, respectively. Our research fields include fiber optic borehole monitoring in the context of hydrogen storage caverns, traffic and road monitoring, using DAS for earthquake monitoring in urban areas for disaster management and long-term monitoring of large-scale subsidence caused by mining activities. Another new topic is structural health monitoring in concrete structures in the framework of the FSP Security. In this talk, we will first briefly present the basics and capabilities of DAS. Then, we will portray our previous and current works related to this technology and show some attractive results. Finally, we will discuss our upcoming projects on exciting new applications of DAS.

Its noise is however never been comprehensively studied to the best of our knowledge. The different detection noise sources in such a sensing system are thoroughly investigated. The impacts of thermal noise, shot noise and the beat between signal and the amplified spontaneous emission from a pre-amplifier have been theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. Due to the random nature of the φOTDR signal, the detection noise demonstrates distinct features at different fiber positions in a single measurement. The theoretical analysis and the experimental result explicitly affirm most of the fiber sections, and the difference at some positions may be explained by ambient noise.

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.

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.

Degradation under service conditions and ageing as a result of climatic influences or delamination under load were unsolved Validation issues. This could be overcome by means of an auto-diagnosis procedure based on FBG-sensors coated by electrochemical deposition (ECD) with a magnetostrictive NiFe-coating on top of an adhesive Cu/Cr adhesive layer deposited by physical vapour deposition (PVD) around the FBG strain sensor. This allows at any time under Service a validation of sensor functionality, stability, and reliability. For this purpose, a magnetic strain-proportional reference field is introduced. The optical read-out is realized by the measurement of the Bragg-wavelength shift. The ratio of resulting strain and exciting magnetic reference field should be constant given that the sensor is in proper function. In principle, the magnetostrictive coating around the FBG should also work as on-line magnetic field sensor and other applications in material science. One of these applications is the in-situ monitoring of ECD processes as the deposition of the ECD NiFe-layer on the FBG revealed. Challenges are the monitoring of temperature, deposition stages/thickness, and resulting mechanical stress under given plating conditions. Monitoring problems can be solved by applying a pre-coated FBG to the electrolytic process as the shift of the Bragg wavelength is affected by both the temperature of the electrolyte near the substrate and the stress formation in the growing layer. The experimental FBG set-up and the quantitative determination of temperature- and stress-related strain are described for a nickeliron electrolyte. The in-situ measurement of Bragg wavelength shifts of a pre-coated FBG during electrochemical deposition allows a detailed analysis of stress states due to changes in the growth morphology of the layer. The separation of mechanical and thermal contributions to this shift provides information on the individual Deposition processes in terms of a process fingerprint.

The analysis on the overall phase error has been improved by considering the proportionality of the detection noise to the local optical power. The estimation accuracy is greatly improved by using the proposed theory, the probability density of the estimation accuracy over 99% is > 0.6, ∼39 times larger than the previously reported method. The phase unwrapping may malfunction due to the noisy signal, causing large phase errors. Point break detection algorithms are used to locate the incorrect phase unwrapping points, so the temporal evolution of the phase retrieved at each position can be divided into several sections with different offset. The phase unwrapping error is then suppressed by removing the offset.

Proposed method is robust to polarisation mismatch fading as a polarisation mismatch between interfering beams is not a hindrance to the measurement of the geometric phase. The Geometric phase is a function of the intensities of the interfering beams as well as the envelope of the beat signal. Its calculation does not require phase unwrapping and accordingly does not suffer the phase unwrapping errors. It is required to be equated with the traditionally measured phase by applying a scaling factor. The spatial resolution of the measured strain is reduced as it is calculated per beat period. Results are verified using a piezo-electric transducer inline a fiber-under-test.

The use of the geometric phase to extract strain makes it immune to polarisation diversity fading. This is because a polarisation mismatch between the interfering beams is not a hindrance to its measurement. The geometric phase is calculated using the amplitude of the beat signal and individual beam intensities without any need for phase unwrapping. It is measured per beat period and can be equated with the traditionally measured dynamic phase with appropriate scaling. The results show that the system based on the geometric phase successfully measures strain, free from polarisation mismatch fading and phase unwrapping errors, providing a completely novel solution to these problems.
