研究目的
Investigating the use of fiber optic-based sensors for structural condition monitoring in marine environments, focusing on temperature, strain, vibration, relative humidity, pH, and chlorides measurements.
研究成果
A suite of optical fiber sensors has been developed for marine structural condition monitoring, demonstrating the potential for economic savings and enhanced prediction of structural service lifetimes. The sensors offer advantages in terms of size, versatility, and resistance to harsh environments, with ongoing research aimed at expanding their functionalities and applications.
研究不足
The cross-sensitivity of FBGs to strain and temperature requires careful sensor design and packaging for accurate measurements. The pH sensor's performance is limited at pH higher than 13.2 due to dye leaching.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Utilized Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)-based techniques for simultaneous temperature and strain measurement, and developed fiber optic vibration, moisture ingress, and pH sensors.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Concrete samples with different characteristics were prepared for moisture ingress and pH measurements. A propeller instrumented with FBGs was used for vibration monitoring.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
FBGs, polymer-coated FBGs for humidity sensing, fluorescent dye for pH sensing, and a mini-spectrometer for pH probe evaluation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
FBGs were glued onto the surface of propeller blades for vibration monitoring. Concrete samples were evaluated for moisture ingress and pH changes using the developed sensors.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis for vibration monitoring, and fluorescence intensity measurements for pH sensing.
