Bragg Temperature Pultruded Grating

The fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor is widely used in the detection of temperature and strain because of its flexibility andpatibility [13, 14]. However, the FBG is sensitive to temperature and strain synchronously (crossed sensitivity), namely the temperature will affect the detection of the strain and vice verse. Therefore the influence of the strain needs to be excluded when FBG is We report herein on the embedding of optical fiber Bragg grating sensors into continuously pultruded glass fiber reinforced epoxy material (GFRP) rods used as structural elements. Two fibers, one with acrylic, one with polyimide coating, and fiber Bragg gratings were extensively characterized. The residual axial strain after embedding was

Struct. 2008; 83:100–109. doi: 10.1016/jpstruct.2007.04.010. [Google Schol Typically the grating period is the same size as the Bragg wavelength, as shown above. For a grating that reflects at 1,500 nm, the grating period is 500 nm, using a refractive index of 1.5. Longer periods can be used to achieve much broader responses than are possible with a standard FBG. These gratings are called long-period fiber grating The use of thermocouples to evaluate temperature within pultrusion die is already widespread, but they are not capable to acquire any information concerning stress-strain levels. In the present work Fibers Bragg Gratings (FBG) sensors were used to measure thermal and strain profiles in selected material location within the injection chamber and the curing die. Being the differences among the mated produced pultruded beams with FOS [23,24]. Additionally, some studies have focused on structural health monitoring (SHM) for Secondly, the surface-bonded fibre bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been employed to investigate the real-time variation of strain and temperature in the epoxyposites exposed to microwaves at The use of thermocouples to evaluate temperature within pultrusion die is already widespread, but they are not capable to acquire any information concerning stress-strain levels.

Comprehensive considering the thermal stress and the material thermal coefficient, the reflection spectrum of FBG embedded in three typical locations is simulated. The simulation result shows that the

The temperature variation obtained by a Bragg grating temperature sensor being covered with the epoxy resin remained constant during the curing process. In addition to the shrinkage of the epoxy resin, its gritty texture could also have been a factor for the local stress concentrations. Subsequently, it is believed that these local stresses were at the origin of the fracture of the buffer The optical fibre based sensor installed is based on the Fibre Bragg Grating strain sensing technique. These cables are designed to survive the installation in harsh environments with aggressive construction techniques like the use of sprayed concrete; whereas standard optical fibres would not survive this process. The cables provide real time structural monitoring with continuous and accurate To this end, many investigators have demonstrated the potential of optical fiber sensors, most particularly intensity-based optical fiber systems and fiber Bragg grating sensors for structural health monitoring of advancedposite materials. The initial part of this paper provides an up-to-date review of the applications of optical fiber Composites have added new dimensions to the design and construction of buildings and structures. One of the wider spreadposite applications in the construction industry isposite beams or pillars, which can be manufactured through pultrusion processes. These types of construction elements are usually used to withstand the weight of large loads, so their integrity must be guaranteed. Due The Bragg Grating sensors used in the present study are of the single mode type operating at a Bragg wavelength λ o of around 1300 nm and were rated for ± 5000 microstrain. CFRP and GFRP tendons were pultruded using a urethane modified bisphenol-A based vinyl ester resin system known for its good mechanical properties and excellent processability. strain is applied to the grating, the grating period changes, changing the reflected wavelength as a linear function to the strain applied. If the fibre undergoes a temperature change, the refractive index of the fibre will change, which also changes the reflected wavelength as a linear function of temperature. This linear response makes FBGs Note that in most of the discussed configurations a discrimination is made between temperature and axial strain. The user should, however, be careful when the fibre Bragg grating is embedded, for example in reinforced plastics, that transversal strains act in a different way on the grating than when not embedded. In addition, note that if a

The most important part ofposite insulator is the joint of theposite rod and the metal end-fitting because most of mechanical faults take place here. Thus it is necessary to on-line monitoring of the joints. This paper theoretically analyzes the response behavior of the embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in the joint based on our preliminary analysis of the stress distribution of the FRP grating 38mm 38×38 VE Meniscus Grey. A 38mm thick grating is the mostmon grating thickness as well as the industrial standard. With this type of grating, spans of up to 1100 mm with industrial load are easy to attain.
