This paper reports on a novel optical fiber-based sensing system for conducting simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain. The sensor design is based on the combination of active fibre and fibre gratings. Addressing smart structure applications erbium/ytterbium co-doped fibre is used to meet the requirements for both high temperature responsivity and small sensor size. The temperature dependence of ASE power under different pump wavelengths is investigated. An optical reference is induced to enhance the measurement resolution. The feasibility of this technique for simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain is demonstrated.

Abstract The development of reliable heat-resistant structural materials requires nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques to evaluate the damage progress during material testing at elevated temperatures. Hence, our optical fiber ultrasonic sensing system with a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PSFBG) sensor was improved to a remote AE measurement system at high temperature. The optical fiber was used as an ultrasonic waveguide from an object material in a high-temperature furnace to the PSFBG sensor placed far from the furnace. As a result, AE signals at about 1000°C were successfully detected keeping their precise waveform. Therefore this method will be useful to evaluate the damage progress in heat-resistant materials under high temperature. Furthermore, the remote PSFBG ultrasonic sensing system was incorporated into the receiving part of a laser ultrasonic visualizing inspector (LUVI) for a high-temperature NDE. The LUVI can visualize the propagation behavior of ultrasonic guided waves in complex shape structures. As a result, the improved LUVI with the optical fiber ultrasonic receiver succeeded in clear visualization of the ultrasonic wave propagation in a ceramic plate at 1000°C. Then an artificial damage formed in the ceramic plate was able to be detected by the observation of reflection waves from the damage. Hence, this system has a potential as an effective and intuitive NDE method in high-temperature environments.

This work relates to the field of thermophysical parameters of refractory interstitial alloys. The isochoric heat capacity of cubic titanium carbide TiCx has been calculated within the Debye approximation in the carbon concentration  range x = 0.70–0.97 at room temperature (300 K) and at liquid nitrogen temperature (80 K) through the Debye temperature established on the basis of neutron diffraction analysis data. It has been found out that at room temperature with decrease of carbon concentration the heat capacity significantly increases from 29.40 J/mol·K to 34.20 J/mol·K, and at T = 80 K – from 3.08 J/mol·K to 8.20 J/mol·K. The work analyzes the literature data and gives the results of the evaluation of the high-temperature dependence of the heat capacity СV of the cubic titanium carbide TiC0.97 based on the data of neutron structural analysis. It has been proposed to amend in the Neumann–Kopp formula to describe the high-temperature dependence of the titanium carbide heat capacity. After the amendment, the Neumann–Kopp formula describes the results of well-known experiments on the high-temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the titanium carbide TiCx. The proposed formula takes into account the degree of thermal excitation (a quantized number) that increases in steps with increasing temperature.The results allow us to predict the thermodynamic characteristics of titanium carbide in the temperature range of 300–3000 K and can be useful for materials scientists.

AbstractZn–Ti–Co(Ni) sorbents for H2S removal from model hot coal were prepared and characterized. Effects of cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) on the sorbents texture, structure, H2S sorption capacity and regeneration properties were determined. TiO2 formed mixed metal oxides with CoO and NiO in the fresh sorbents, while TiO2 and nanocrystalline sulfides of Zn, Co, Ni were found in sulphided ones. The oxidative regeneration of sulphided sorbents re-formed mixed oxides. Sorption capacity of studied materials increased along with an increase of the amount of added Co (Ni) and also with the number of work cycles. Co-doped Zn–Ti materials adsorbed up to 244% more sulfur than these of Zn–Ti, while Ni-doped materials adsorbed ca. twice more H2S than the corresponding Co-doped sorbents. The addition of Co (Ni) decreased the temperature of ZnS oxidation. The catalytic effect of the Co (Ni) oxides on the oxidation of ZnS was suggested.
