For monitoring of the civil and building structure, optical fiber sensors are very convenient. The fiber sensors are very small and do not disturb the structural properties. They also have several merits such as electro-magnetic immunity, long signal transmission, good accuracy and multiplexibility in one sensor line. Strain measurement technologies with fiber optic sensors have been investigated as a part of smart structure. In this paper, we investigated the possibilities of fiber optic sensor application to the monitoring of beam-column joints of structures. We expect that the fiber optic sensors replace electrical strain gauges. The commercial electric strain gauges show good stability and dominate the strain measurement market. However, they lack durability and long term stability for continuous monitoring of the structures. In order to apply the strain gauges, we only have to attach them to the surfaces of the structures. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using fiber optic Bragg grating sensors to joint structure. The sensors show nice response to the structural behavior of the joint.

구조물의 주요 부재들은 임의의 부분에 과대 하중이 작용하거나 반복 하중을 받아서 재료가 열화되면 균열이 발생한다. 이러한 균열은 구조물의 안전성을 평가할 수 있는 중요한 인자이며 균열의 진전 여부가 구조물의 안전성을 평가하기 위한 중요한 지표로 사용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구조물의 기존 균열이 진전하는지를 감시하기 위하여 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 개발하였다. 이 센서 시스템은 탐촉자, 파장제어 광원부 및 광수신부, 그리고 가진부로 구성된다. 센서 탐촉자 부분은 광섬유 브래그 격자 소자만으로 구성된다. 파장제어 광원부는 전류공급회로와 DFB(distributed feedback) 레이저 다이오드로 구성되고 파장 제어 회로는 레이저 다이오드의 온도를 바꾸어 파장을 제어한다. 또한 가진부는 강체 낙하구에 의하여 구현한다. 이렇게 구성된 센서의 성능은 알루미늄판에 임의의 균열을 만들고 센서를 작동시키면서 출력 신호를 검토하면서 확인하였다. 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서의 출력 신호의 변화는 균열 길이 변화에 따라서 크게 변화되어 나타나므로 균열 진전 탐지 가능성이 충분함을 확인할 수 있었다.

하나의 광섬유 브래그 격자와 EDFA를 이용하여 온도와 스트레인을 동시에 측정할 수 있는 센서를 제안하고 구현하였다. 혼도에 따른 EDFA 의 ASE파워의 선형적 변화를 이용하여 온도를 측정하고 전체 브래그 파장변화와 그 온도효과의 차로써 스트레인을 측정하였다. 측정값은 스트레인과 온도 각각에 대해서 $18.2{\mu}{\varepsilon}$과 $0.7^{\circ}C$의 rms 오차를 가진다.

본 논문에서는 편광 유지 광섬유 브래그 격자(PMFBG) 센서를 제작하고 신호특성을 파악하였으며, 횡방향 변형률(transverse strain)을 측정하였다. PMFBG 센서는 위상 마스크와 엑시머 레이저를 이용해서 제작하였으며, 반사파는 내부 복굴절율의 영향으로 기존의 FBG 센서와 다르게 두개의 피크를 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 PMFBG 센서는 자체적으로 2개의 광축을 가지고 있으므로 이 광축을 찾는 실험을 수행하였다. 제작된 PMFBG 센서를 에폭시 시편에 삽입하여, 센서에 가해지는 횡방향 변형률을 측정하였다. PMFBG 센서의 광원으로서 파장 이동 광섬유 레이저(WSFL)를 사용하였다. 실험결과, PMFBG 센서로 측정된 변형률은 스트레인 게이지로 측정한 변형률과 잘 일치하였다.

Smart structure that contains sensors, which are either embedded in a composite material or attached to a structure, is currently receiving considerable attention. Fiber Bragg grating sensor, one of the optical fiber sensors, has been widely used to sense strain and temperature for smart structures since both parameters change the resonant frequency of the grating. In this paper, according to the various heating and cooling conditions the thermal behavior of unidirectional composite material was monitored by embedding the fiber Bragg grating sensors in the longitudinal and transverse directions of unidirectional composites. The thermal behavior of unidirectional composite material was monitored for various heating and cooling rates and applied pressure. It was found that the thermal behavior was unaffected by pressure variations and heating and cooling rates applied to the composites. The thermal strains were measured by considering the shift in Bragg wavelength that was generated by the thermal expansion of composite specimen. The longitudinal and transverse C.T.E.'s were also obtained from the corresponding temperature-thermal strain curves.

This paper reports on measurement method for the fiber optic strain monitoring of overhead contact line systems of trains, We used FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors to measure the strain variation of overhead contact line. FBG sensors can sensitively measure the variation of strain and! or temperature by the shift wavelength of reflected wave according to the lattice variation during the measurement. FBG sensor were attached on the contact line and connected to the monitoring system with optical fibers. The monitering system with FBG sensors showed very good sensitivity to measuring strain variation and this system could be applied to the overhead contact line of KTX (Korea Train eXpress).

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructure using fiber Bragg grating sensor networks (FBGSNs) has received significant public attention in recent years. However, there is currently little research on the health-monitoring technology of high-piled wharfs in coastal ports using the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor technique. The benefits of FBG sensors are their small size, light weight, lack of conductivity, resistance corrosion, multiplexing ability and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Based on the properties of high-piled wharfs in coastal ports and servicing seawater environment and the benefits of FBG sensors, the SHM system for a high-piled wharf in the Tianjin Port of China is devised and deployed partly using the FBG sensor technique. In addition, the health-monitoring parameters are proposed. The system can monitor the structural mechanical properties and durability, which provides a state-of-the-art mean to monitor the health conditions of the wharf and display the monitored data with the BIM technique. In total, 289 FBG stain sensors, 87 FBG temperature sensors, 20 FBG obliquity sensors, 16 FBG pressure sensors, 8 FBG acceleration sensors and 4 anode ladders are installed in the components of the back platform and front platform. After the installation of some components in the wharf construction site, the good signal that each sensor measures demonstrates the suitability of the sensor setup methods, and it is proper for the full-scale, continuous, autonomous SHM deployment for the high-piled wharf in the costal port. The South 27# Wharf SHM system constitutes the largest deployment of FBG sensors for wharf structures in costal ports to date. This deployment demonstrates the strong potential of FBGSNs to monitor the health of large-scale coastal wharf structures. This study can provide a reference to the long-term health-monitoring system deployment for high-piled wharf structures in coastal ports.

In this research, for the smart health monitoring of the hydrogen storage high pressure composite vessel, the feasibility study of an embedded fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor is carried out. To verify strain measurement in various temperature environment which is needed for the hydrogen pressure vessel, tensile test of a composite specimen with both an embedded FBG sensor and a strain gauge is made in low temperature. Before we try a real-size hydrogen storage pressure vessel, a small & cheap composite pressure vessel having the same structure is fabricated with embedded FBG sensors and tested. In the case of an aluminum liner inside the vessel, survivability of FBG sensors at the interface is lower than the other areas.

Non-destructive testing methods of composite materials are very important for improving material reliability and safety. AE measurement is based on the detection of microscopic surface movements from stress waves in a material during the fracture process. The examination of AE is a useful tool for the sensitive detection and location of active damage in polymer and composite materials. FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors have attracted much interest owing to the important advantages of optical fiber sensing. Compared to conventional electronic sensors, fiber-optical sensors are known for their high resolution and high accuracy. Furthermore, they offer important advantages such as immunity to electromagnetic interference, and electrically passive operation. In this paper, the crack detection capability of AE (Acoustic Emission) measurement was compared with that of an FBG sensor under tensile testing and buckling test of composite materials. The AE signals of the PVDF sensor were measured and an AE signal analyzer, which had a low pass filter and a resonance filter, was designed and fabricated. Also, the wavelength variation of the FBG sensor was measured and its strain was calculated. Calculated strains were compared with those determined by finite element analysis.
