研究目的
Investigating the vibration sensitivity and damage points of the Integrated Optical Fibre (IOF) under typical structural vibration conditions using Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR).
研究成果
The data indicates that the grating responds to vibration, and differentially with frequency, but with still excellent signal-to-noise ratio. The vibration response is dependent on the mechanical coupling configuration, suggesting different modalities of operation up to realistic levels of vibration and shock.
研究不足
The study is focused on specific vibration frequencies (1 kHz, 2 kHz, and 5 kHz) and may not cover the full range of vibrations encountered in aerospace environments. The mechanical coupling configuration's effect on vibration response suggests variability in results based on setup.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses OFDR, a Fourier analysis based technique, to monitor the vibration sensitivity of IOF. The technique involves a tunable source and analysing interferograms due to path differences between a broadband reflector and other features, specifically distributed FBGs UV written into the IOF device.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The IOF was placed on a commercial test shaker (Derritron VP4) to expose the device to test vibrations at frequencies of 1 kHz, 2 kHz, and 5 kHz.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Commercial test shaker (Derritron VP4), IOF device with distributed FBGs.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The IOF was subjected to vibrations at specified frequencies. The reflection peak of a Bragg grating was processed by transforming into a conventional OFDR distance plot, using FFT, applying a Gaussian spatial windowing function of 1 mm, and then using inverse FFT to observe the effect of vibration on the grating's reflection.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fourier transform approaches were used to selectively address different Bragg gratings by windowing appropriate spatial position.
