Strain Measurement Using Fiber Bragg Granting Sensor for Crack Detection

Dynamic Strain Measurement Using Improved Bonding Fiber Bragg Grating

This study proposes an improved bonding method for attaching a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) on surface of a structure to measure its dynamic strains. The improved bonding fiber Bragg grating is called IBFBG for short in this study. The bonding method provides the chance to let the IBFBG and resistance strain gauge measure the longitudinal strain at the same point. This study use two steel cantilev...

Strain Measurement of Composite Laminates Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors

Fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensors, one of the fiber optic sensors(FOS), based on the wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) technology are ideally suitable for structural health monitoring of composite materials and structures. Proper monitoring of measurands in FBG sensor systems requires accurate measurement of the Bragg center wavelength, and the ability to track rapid shifts of the wavelength...

Measurement of Temperature, Humidity and Strain Variation Using Bragg Sensor

Measurement and monitoring of temperature, humidity and strain variation are very requested in great fields and areas such as structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. Currently, the use of fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBGS) is very recommended in SHM systems due to the specifications of these sensors. In this paper, we present the theory of Bragg sensor, therefore we try to measure the effic...

Dynamic Strain Measurement with Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor System for Smart Structure

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor systems are being widely used as temperature measurement and strain measurement systems for aerospace structures, civil structures, and high rise buildings. However, the systems are rather complicated because the wavelength change must be measured using several kinds of optical filters such as Fabry-Perot filters, edge filters, and bandwidth filters. In this pap...
