An embedded fiber-optic sensor was manufactured using 3D printing technology for distributed structural monitoring. Strain distribution of the embedded sensor was measured by the optical frequency domain reflectometry, and real-time data visualization for the embedded sensor model was demonstrated.

Distributed control architecture is based on sharing control and data between multiple nodes on a network Communication and task sharing can be distributed between multiple control computers. Although many communication protocols exist, such as TCP/IP and UDP, they do not have the determinism that realtime control demands. Fiber-optic reflective shared memory creates the opportunity for realtime distributed control. This architecture allows control and computational tasks to be divided between multiple systems and operate in a deterministic realtime environment. One such shared memory architecture is based on Curtiss-Wright ScramNET family of fiber-optic reflective memory. MTS has built seismic and structural control software and hardware capable of utilizing ScramNET shared memory, opening up infinite possibilities in research and new capabilities in Hybrid and Model-In-The-Loop control.

Brillouin scattering-based fiber optic sensors are useful to measure strain or temperature in a distributed manner. Since the Brillouin frequency of an optical fiber depends on both the strain and temperature, it is very important to know whether the Brillouin frequency shift is caused by the strain change or temperature change. This article presents a temperature compensation technique of a Brillouin scattering-based fiber optic strain sensor. Both the changes of the Brillouin frequency and the Brillouin gain power is observed for the temperature compensation using a BOTDA sensor system. Experimental results showed that the temperature compensated strain values were highly consistent with actual strain values.

We prosed a distributed fiber-optic sensor system with 10 fiber Bragg gratings, for over temperature protection relay in power systems. We applied Gaussian line-fitting algorithm to compensate the distortion effects in the wavelength-scanned Farby-Perot filter demodulation scheme. Compared with the highest-peak-detection method, the proposed algorithm was proved to minimize the random errors of distorted PD profiles. From experimental results, the overall measurement error was within 1 % compared with the reference thermocouple and the linearity error was less than 0.37 %.

Optical Temperature Distribution measurement System (OTDS) is completely different from conventional electric point sensor in that it uses the optical fiber itself as the sensor. This new concept in temperature measuring system requires only one fiber to be laid. The use of optical fiber also gives the advantage of small diameter, light weight, explosion resistance, and electromagnetic noise resistance. The OTDS is a sensor which is capable of making a precise measurement over a wide range of areas using only a single optical fiber. Since current temperature sensors, such as the thermocouple, are only used to measure temperaturea of point, they are almost impractical for measuring a wider range because of the extremely high cost. In comparision with current sensors, the optical fiber distributed temperature sensor can make much quicker and more precise measurements at a comparatively low cost.

Medium-scale levee experiments were performed to monitor the infiltration and failure of levee body by applying fiber optic temperature sensing. In this study, bio-polymer soil was spread in the levee slope to increase the strength and intensity. Therefore, the infiltration and failure by overflows were produced in a different way compared to general soil type of levees. This was also observed in the experiment data for temperature changes monitored by fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing system. Through the analysis of temperature changes at specific location by time, the location and initiation time for physical changes and infiltration in levee body could be identified based on temperature variation. In this experiment, the time of rapid changes in temperature was ahead in the inland slope rather than the forceland slope. It was corresponding to the levee failure sequence of first inland slope failure and then the forceland slope failure.

We constructed a fiber-optic temperature sensor system using a sensor array with 15 fiber Bragg gratings for distributed temperature monitoring in electrical power systems. A polynomial fitting algorithm was used to compensate the nonlinear action of the MEMS tuneable wavelength filter used for Bragg wavelength demodulation Fixed passband wavelengths from a Fabry-Perot ITU filter were used as reference wavelengths for the fitting algorithm which obtained constant accuracy regardless of the wavelength scanning range and frequency. About 0.18[%] of linearity error compared to reference thermocouple thermometer has been obtained in the preliminary experimental results.

A distributed optical fiber temperature sensor can continually monitor the measurand at every point along of its fiber length. It is based on OTDR technics which used extreamlly weak backward scattered light called Raman scattering. When the Pulsed high intensity laser light injected into the optical fiber there are several kind of backscattered light such as Rayleigh, Stokes, and anti-Stokes, etc. caused by impurities molecular vibrations. The temperature distribution is derived form the intensity ratio Raman scatted light-Stokes versus anti-Stokes-and the time function between light injection and signal detection. It is shown that the priniciple of distributed sensing, the system desing, and the result of experiments.

The objective of this work is to present a conceptual design and the modelling of a distributed sensor system based on fiber optic devices (Fiber Bragg Grating, FBG), aimed at measuring span-wise and chord-wise variations of an adaptive (morphing) trailing edge. The network is made of two different integrated solutions for revealing deformations of the reference morphing structure. Strains are confined to typical values along the span (length) but they are expected to overcome standard ranges along the chord (width), up to almost 10%. In this case, suitable architectures may introduce proper modulations to keep the measured deformation low while preserving the information content. In the current paper, the designed monitoring system combines the use of a span-wise fiber reinforced patch with a chord-wise sliding beam. The two elements make up a closed grid, allowing the reconstruction of the complete deformed shape under the acceptable assumption that the transformation refers to regular geometry variations. Herein, the design logic and some integration issues are reported. Preliminary experimental test results are finally presented.

We developed a fiber-optic temperature sensor system, with 10 fiber Bragg gratings, for abnormal high-temperature monitoring in power systems. We used Gaussian line-fitting algorithm to compensate the spectrum distortion in the wavelength-scanned Farby-Perot filter demodulation scheme. Compared with highest-peak-detection method, the proposed algorithm substantially reduced measurement errors. The overall measurement error was less than 1[%] compared with the reference thermocouple and the linearity error was 0.37[%].
