Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have received considerable attention in applications of temperature, axial strain, and transverse pressure measurement. However, the cross-sensitivity of strain and temperature measurement is the key problem of FBG sensors. In this paper, a sandglass shape FBG is proposed to divide cross-sensitivity of temperature and transverse pressure. The principle and structure of sandglass FBG are introduced, and the experiment results show cross-sensitivity avoidable in the transverse pressure sensor.

Hull monitoring system with Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors increasingly receives people’s attentions. However, for the ship hull monitoring, the deformation of hull girder changes a lot as is subjected to a huge temperature variation. Therefore, the compensation method with only FBG temperature self-correction is not suitable for the hull monitoring sensors because no material thermal expansion effects are reasonably included. In this paper, the new compensation method of hull monitoring FBG sensor based on the sensor theory with both FBG temperature self-correction and steel thermal expansion effects correction is studied. The coupled compensation method suitable for hull monitoring sensor is obtained by theoretical derivation. As the comparison, the coupled compensation experiment was carried out. The results show that the relative error under the temperature compensation method is large in the case of drastic strain and temperature changes, and the correction results of the tested method will be closer to the true level.

A novel fiber Bragg grating vortex flowmeter was designed in this work, where the Bragg grating was enfolded in a cylinder eddy generator. Bragg grating subject to force and the corresponding strain were analyzed. Subsequently, the relationships between grating’s axial strain and flow were developed. In order to improve the flowmeter's resolution, the system was simplified by a mass-spring-damper model, which was used to analyze resonance and choose acrylic glass as cylinder's material. In terms of the resolution of FBG sensor demodulation device and factors of vortex's formation, the measuring range of flowmeter is 1200L/h~5000L/h. The resolution is less than 40L/h with flow exceeding 2000L/h. The damping ratio is not sensitive to the flow when it is less than 2000L/h.

In trenchless detection of underground pipelines, a method has been introduced which employs Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors to detect curvatures of the pipeline at discrete points and reconstructs the spatial trajectory of the pipeline by means of a newly developed approach. In measuring the pipeline curvature, the FBG sensor may be twisted besides sustaining bending deformation. This paper proposes a new algorithm for curvature calculation at discrete points, considering both overall revolving and partial twisting of the FBG sensors in order to enhance the curve fitting accuracy. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the method.

With the prolongation of the service life of spacecraft, the structural failure of spacecraft caused by air resistance and aging poses a direct threat to the safe operation of spacecraft. The structural failure of aircraft is concerned by many researchers. Among them, the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor has become a hotspot of aircraft structural fault research because of its good performance. Facing the difficulties of structural fault location of traditional spacecraft, slow data updating speed and poor transplant ability of positioning device, a structural fault angle measurement model based on FBG strain flower is constructed by combining FBG sensor with the principle of right-angle strain flower. On the problem of determining the main strain orientation, two groups of FBG strain rosette locations are selected to determine, and different groups of locations are cross-solved to obtain the original coordinates of impact. At the same time, aiming at the structural problems of four simple thin plates in the aircraft, a method of judging the structural load based on the disturbance trend is proposed. In the process of experiment, it is necessary to test the positioning accuracy of the structure obtained by the sensor and the size error of the load. In order to better simulate the real scene, a simulation platform of aircraft structure impact is built. During the testing process, it is found that the sensor detection platform proposed in this study can locate structural faults within 2.8 cm. The average time required for location judgment is about 1.7 ms, and the error of structural impact force is about 2.86 N. Through this study, a new detection method for structural fault detection of spacecraft is proposed, which can better ensure the safety of spacecraft.

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensor with high pressure applied in down-hole is experimentally studied. The relationship between the central wavelength and the temperature and pressure of the fiber Bragg grating is derived. The experimental results show that the packaged FBG temperature sensor has improved linearity and good repeatability. Its linearity is more than 0.999. The good linearity of temperature and wavelength is also kept in the high pressure when the compression and decompression were carried out under the pressure of 0-20 MPa and temperatures of 0-100 °C. Besides, the structure is simple. It can be widely applied in down-hole and other occasions

Based on the fiber Bragg grating sensing technology, a FBG sensor is designed to monitor the dynamic response of asphalt concrete; the sensitivity coefficient of FBG sensor is 1.28pm/με. Through the static load test, the correlation between strain and wavelength variation is 0.1797µε/pm, after second packaged and embedded in SMA-13 asphalt concrete. The instantaneous impact on the road of high-speed vehicles is simulated by using drop hammer. The results are shown that the Sensor can satisfy the requirements of practical applications and succeed in monitoring the dynamic response of asphalt concrete. The monitored signal can reflect the viscoelastic-plastic deformation law of asphalt concrete. The sensor can be used to monitor the dynamic response of asphalt concrete.

Pressure pipelines have been applied widely in the chemical industry, the petroleum enterprises and the electrical power plants. Leakage and explosion accidents happened frequently owing to the weakness of the pressure pipeline. To monitoring the pressure pipeline weakness, a novel method is presented by using optical FBG (FBG: Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors to carry on the real-time monitoring of the pressure piping surface strains. A typical pressure pipeline was fabricated with weak position of L shaped, Tee shaped and U shaped joints. The strains of the weak position were analyzed by the ANSYS software, and then the same weak positions were monitored by experimental method of FBG sensor. The FBG sensor was verified a feasible means to monitoring the pressure pipeline by comparing the ANSYS software results with the experimental results of FBG sensors.
