Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensor for Dynamic Strain Measurement

A novel Brillouin-based distributed sensing technique is presented that can obtain the strain profile of the entire sensing fiber with a single optical pulse. Experimentally obtained spectra show that this comb excited pump signal is capable of strain and temperature measurement in a dynamic system. The results show the expected sinusoidal strain profile for a 12 s periodic strain cycle applied to the test fiber. The strain distribution for the entire fiber was obtained in 256 mus , thereby demonstrating for the first time, the potential to measure dynamic strains up to 3.9 kHz with 12 m resolution. Increased acquisition speed comes at the expense of achievable spatial resolution.     

Multiplexed Fiber-Optic Pressure and Temperature Sensor System for Down-Hole Measurement

A fiber Fabry–Perot (F-P) interferometer and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based pressure and temperature multiplexing sensor system is presented. This system is designed for high-temperature oil well down-hole permanent monitoring of pressure and temperature. Connecting a FBG temperature sensor and a F-P pressure sensor in series in the sensor head, the sensor system combines the advantages of simple structure of FBG for temperature sensing and high accuracy and low-temperature cross-sensitivity of F-P pressure sensor. Experimental results showed that the temperature measurement accuracy of 0.5$;^{circ}$C and the long-term drift of the air gap of the F-P pressure sensor at 300$;^{circ}$C is less than 0.1% within 300 h time span. This indicates that a long-term pressure measured accuracy of 0.03 MPa has been achieved in pressure gauge range of 0–30 MPa and in temperature variation range between 18 $;^{circ}$C to 300 $;^{circ}$C.      

A Compact Fiber-Optic Flow Velocity Sensor Based on a Twin-Core Fiber Michelson Interferometer

A novel fiber-optic flow velocity sensor based on a twin-core fiber Michelson interferometer has been proposed and demonstrated. The sensor only is a segment of twin-core fiber acting as cylinder cantilever beam. The force exerted on the cylinder by the slow flow speeds of order mm/s of the fluid with unknown velocity bends the fiber, which corresponds to the shift of the phase of the twin-core in-fiber integrated Michelson interferometer.

Demodulation of Fiber-Optic Sensors for Frequency Response Measurement

The neural-network-based processing of extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) strain sensors was investigated for the special case of sinusoidal strain. The application area is modal or cyclic testing of structures in which the frequency response to periodic actuation must be demodulated. The nonlinear modulation characteristic of EFPI sensors produces well-defined harmonics of the actuation frequency. Relationships between peak strain and harmonic content were analyzed theoretically. A two-stage demodulator was implemented with a Fourier series neural network to separate the harmonic components of an EFPI signal and a backpropagation neural network to predict the peak-to-peak strain from the harmonics. The system performance was tested using theoretical and experimental data. The error for high-strain cases was less than about 10% if at least 12 harmonics were used. The frequency response of an instrumented cantilever beam provided the experimental data. The demodulator processing closely matched the actual strain levels

Local Particle Mean Velocity Measurement in Pneumatic Conveying Pipelines Using Electrostatic Sensor Arrays

In this paper, a measurement system for the local mean velocity of pneumatically conveyed particles is proposed and developed. It mainly consists of electrostatic sensor arrays, signal conditioning circuits, and a digital signal processor (DSP)-based data acquisition and processing unit. Electrostatic sensor arrays are used to detect the charge on particles in its sensing zone and further make the local particle mean velocity measurement in conjunction with cross-correlation method. The sampling frequency is determined from theoretical analysis of the bandwidth of electrostatic signal and accuracy of correlation velocity calculation. Experiments are carried out on a belt conveyor and a gravity-fed particle rig to determine the optimized sampling number of the electrostatic signal through analyzing the measurement error of the transit time. The results showed that the more sampling numbers, the higher stability of measurement results. The repeatability of the measurement system is less than ±2.2% and the linearity is better than ±4.9% over the velocity range of 5.50–21.98 m/s. Experiments are also performed on a high-pressure dense-phase pneumatic conveying system of pulverized coal, indicating that the measurement system is capable of achieving local mean velocity measurement of pneumatically conveyed particles with the relative standard deviation less than 5.5%.
