Abstract

An intensity-based optical fiber vibration sensor is applied to monitor the structural vibration and detect impact locations on a plate. Optical fiber vibration sensor is constructed by placing two cleaved fiber end, one of which is cantilevered in a hollow glass tube. The movement of the cantilevered section lags behind the rest of the sensor in response to an applied vibration and the amount of light coupled between the two fibers is thereby modulated. For vibration sensing, optical fiber vibration sensor is mounted on the carbon fiber composite beam and its response is investigated to free and forced vibration. In impact location detection, four optical fiber vibration sensors whose location is predetermined are placed at chosen positions and the different arrival times of impact-generated vibration signal are recorded by an FFT analyzer. Impact location can be calculated from these time delays. Experimental results show that optical fiber vibration sensor signals coincide with gap sensor in vibration sensing. The precise location of impact can be detected on an acrylate plate.

광강도형 광섬유 진동센서를 이용한 구조물의 진동감지 및 판에서의 충격위치 검출에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 광섬유 진동센서는 유리 모세관의 내부에 광섬유의 클래딩 부분이 서로 마주보게 하여 제작되며 그 중 한 쪽은 외팔보 형태이다. 진동이 센서에 가해지면 센서 내부의 외팔보가 진동하게 되고 그에 따라 맞은편 광섬유로 전해지는 빛의 강도가 변화하게 된다. 진동감지 실험을 위해 광섬유 진동센서를 복합재료 보의 표면에 부착하고 자유 진동 및 강제 진동에 대한 신호를 취득하였다. 충격 위치 검출에 관한 실험은 아크릴 판에 대하여 알려진 위치에 네 개의 센서를 표면에 부착하고 진동의 도달 시간을 FFT를 이용하여 측정하였다. 충격위치는 이러한 시간차이를 이용하여 계산되어졌다. 광섬유 진동센서는 상용센서인 갭센서와 동일하게 구조물의 진동을 감지하였으며 판에서의 충격위치를 비교적 정확히 측정하였다.
