In this paper, the evaluation and testing of a fibre optic relative humidity sensor specifically designed for structural health monitoring is discussed in detail. The sensor is based on a polymer coated Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) where with the increase of the moisture level, the polymer coating swells and thus applies strain to the FBG, causing a Bragg wavelength shift. The device is designed so that the temperature effect on the humidity sensor can be compensated by the inclusion of a second un-coated FBG packaged inside the same sensor probe. The sensor thus produced has been tested extensively and calibrated using both a humidity chamber and standard salt solutions. The probe has demonstrated a very good performance for relative humidity measurements.
A new concept for the self-diagnosis of embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors was developed, simulated and experimentally tested. This concept is based on a magnetostrictive metallic layer directly coated on the fibre cladding over the grating segment of the FBG sensor, so that an on-demand external magnetic field in a millitesla scale can produce a controllable artificial strain as an indication signal for the remote optical interrogator. The relationship between the pre-defined magnetic field and its induced Bragg wavelength shift characterizes this validation concept. Any deviation of the local bonding state of the interfaces from the initial or/and any change of shear strain transferring mechanism from composite matrix to the optical fibre core will result in alterations in this sensitive relationship, and thus triggers an immediate alert for a further inspection. The finite element method is used to simulate the strain of this configuration as result of different values of the magnetic field in order to optimize the geometrical sensor parameters. The simulations are verified by experiments results. © (2016) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only.
Static and dynamic pile tests are carried out to determine the load bearing capacity and the quality of reinforced concrete piles. As part of a round robin test to evaluate dynamic load tests, structure integrated fibre optic strain sensors were used to receive more detailed information about the strains along the pile length compared to conventional measurements at the pile head. This paper shows the instrumentation of the pile with extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometers sensors and fibre Bragg gratings sensors together with the results of the conducted static load test as well as the dynamic load Tests and pile integrity tests.
One of the main unsolved issues of under-ground storages for, e.g., CO2, H2, and natural gas is the comprehensive surveillance of these areas with reasonable effort and costs. Conventional sensors (e.g., soil air probes or borehole probes), however, can only be used for punctual or locally limited measurements; further their application can cause structural influences (invasive application).
In this paper, we describe in detail the setup of a CO2 injection soil test field. This test field will be used to enhance and validate an innovative ap-proach for distributed subsurface monitoring of gas storage areas. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first time that, for this purpose, a test field is built in an application relevant scale.
Durch faseroptische Sensoren können Bauteile im Einsatz kontinuierlich überwacht und frühzeitig Informationen über Materialveränderungen gewonnen werden. Mittels einer magnetostriktiven Aktorschicht, welche den Sensor umhüllt, kann nun auch die korrekte Sensorfunktion jederzeit kontrolliert werden. Als Aktorschicht eignet sich galvanisch abgeschiedenes reines Nickel oder Nickel-Eisen in der Zusammensetzung 50:50. Um diese haftfest mit dem Sensor zu verbinden wurde ein ECD/PVD-Kombinationsschichtsystem entwickelt. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften der ECD-Schicht können sowohl mit einer auf die Fasergeometrie angepassten instrumentierten Eindringprüfung als auch einem 2-Punkt-Biegeversuch bestimmt werden.
The in-situ monitoring of electrochemical deposition (ECD) processes is still a challenge regarding the measurement of the effective temperature of the substrate and the formation of mechanical stress in the layer under given plating conditions. Monitoring problems can be solved by applying a pre-coated fiber Bragg grating (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 is described for a nickel-iron electrolyte.
Fiber optic sensors have gained increasing importance in recent years and are well established in many areas of industrial applications. In this paper, we introduce a concept of a self-diagnostic fiber optic sensor. The presented sensor is to resolve the problems of embedded fiber optic sensors in complex structures and to enable the validation under operational conditions. For this purpose, different magnetostrictive coated fiber optic sensors were developed and various experiments were performed to verify their mode of Operation and to determine the respective reproducibility. The measuring principle is illustrated by obtained experimental results, which showed a change in wavelength from 1 pm at a magnetic field strength change of 0.25 mT.
In addition, the temperature characteristics of the implemented magnetostrictive sensor were analyzed and an experimental factor of 1.5 compared to a reference fiber optic sensor was determined.
