Abstract

Fatigue damage detection and vibration sensing for a laminated composites and impact location detection for a steel beam have been carried out using optical fiber sensor. Intensity based optical fiber sensor is constructed by placing two cleaved fiber end in a hollow glass tube, and multiple reflection within the cavity is considered. Fatigue signals are measured by embedded optical fiber, surface mounted optical fiber sensor and strain gage simultaneously. For vibration sensing, optical fiber sensor is mounted on the carbon fiber composite beam and its response to free vibration and forced vibration is investigated. In impact location detection, two optical fiber sensors are used and the information obtained from two sensors is arrival time delay of vibration caused by impact. Impact location can be calculated from this time delay. The obtained results show that the intensity based optical fiber sensor provide reliable data during long-term fatigue loading, unlike strain gage which deteriorate during the early part of the fatigue test. Optical fiber sensor signals coincide with gap sensor in vibration sensing. The precise locations of impact can be detected within 4.1% error limit.

광섬유센서를 이용한 복합적층판의 피로손상 감지 및 진동측정, 그리고 스틸 보에 대한 충격위치 검출에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 피로과정중의 신호는 복합재료 내에 삽입된 광섬유와 표면에 부착한 광강도형 광섬유센서, 그리고 스트레인게이지로부터 동시에 측정되었다. 진동감지 실험은 복합재료 보의 표면에 광섬유센서를 부착하여 자유진동 및 강제진동 신호를 취득하였다. 충격위치 검출에 관한 실험에서 충격위치는 충격에 의해 발생된 구조물의 진동이 두 센서에 도달하는 시간의 차를 이용하여 구할 수 있다. 광강도형 광섬유센서를 이용하여 반복 피로 신호를 잘 취득할 수 있었으며 스트레인게이지에 비하여 피로저항성이 우수함이 확인되었다. 광섬유센서는 갭센서와 동일하게 진동신호를 감지하였고 구조물에 가해진 충격위치를 비교적 정확히 검출할 수 있었다.
