Acoustic Emission Measurement

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is an optical fiber sensor and is suitable for acoustic emission (AE) measurements of structures such as chemical plants that require water resistance, explosion proofing, and so forth, However, directionality has been a problem in conventional usage which glues the grating range of an FBG to the inspection surface. This study proposes a cylinder-FBG (C-FBG) sensor with the FBG glued to a cylindrical sensor holder. Effectiveness of the sensor was evaluated by characterizing directionality and frequency sensitivity of the sensor and by comparing the detected AE signals in a 3-point bending test of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminate against a conventional wide-band piezoelectric AE sensor. The features of the detected signals were similar to the signals detected by the wide-band AE sensor. These results show that it is possible to produce a wide-band cylindrical sensor without the directionality limitations of the conventional usage of FBG.

Cycle Monitoring

This study demonstrated fiber-optic-based life cycle monitoring of an L-shaped carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) part. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were embedded in the corner of the L-shaped specimen during the laminate lay-up process, and was then utilized to monitor the local strain change during the cure process, the demolding, the assembly, and a subsequent bending test. FBG spectral changes induced were comprehensively presented and discussed from the viewpoint of the mechanical and thermal deformation of the specimen. Internal state of the L-shaped part was successfully monitored throughout its life, confirming effectiveness of life cycle monitoring by embedded fiber-optic-based sensors for developing highly-reliable composite structures.

In this paper, we report a new type of refractometer based on a D-shaped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) integrated in a loop-mirror optical fiber laser. This proposed sensor is used in wavelength interrogation method, in which the D-shaped FBG is applied as a refractive index (RI) sensing probe and a mirror to select mode of laser. The D-shaped FBG is prepared by the removal of a portion of the fiber cladding covering the FBG by means of side-polishing technique. The D-shaped FBG sensing probe integrated in a loop-mirror optical fiber laser with saturated pump technique, the characteristics of sensing signals have been improved to obtain stable intensity, narrower bandwidth and higher optical signal-to-noise ratio compare to normal reflection configuration. The limit of detection (LOD) of this sensor can be achieved to 2.95 x 10-4 RIU in the refractive index (RI) range of 1.42-1.44. Accordingly, we believe that the proposed refractometer has a huge potential for applications in biochemical-sensing technique.

Acoustic Emission Measurement

Herausforderungen bei der spanenden Bearbeitung von CFK sind unerwünschte Materialschädigungen im Bauteil sowie hohe Werkzeugverschleißraten. Für diese Arbeit wurden zerstörende Analogversuche an CFK und diamantbeschichteten Hartmetallproben durchgeführt und die Körperschallmesssignale analysiert. Die eingehende Untersuchung der Messwerte aus den Analogversuchen kann zu einer datengetriebenen Parametrierung einer körperschallbasierten Prozessüberwachung für die Fräsbearbeitung von CFK beitragen.   Challenges in machining CFRP are unwanted material damage in the component and high tool wear rates. For this work, destructive analogy experiments were carried out on CFRP and diamond-coated milling tools while analyzing the acoustic emission measurement signals. The detailed examination of the measured values from the analogy experiment can contribute to a data-driven parameterization of an acoustic emission-based process monitoring for the milling of CFRP.
