Optical fiber sensors have been used widely in offshore oilfield. An optical fiber sensor system including an optical fiber sensor testing temperature and pressure under well, a connector connecting the optical fiber sensor with the optical cable, two connectors connecting cables, 3600 meters armoured optical cable and an interrogator was applied in an offshore oil well on Zhoushan island. The temperature and pressure under well have been measured for about two month and the testing results are presented in this paper.

ABSTRACTStructurally integrated optical fiber sensors form the basis for smart structure technology. Over the past decade a variety of sensor configurations have been developed for measurement of strains and deformations in structures. Strains and deformations alter the refractive index and the geometry of the optical fiber material. These changes perturb the intensity, phase, and polarization of the light-wave propagating along the probing fiber. The optical perturbations are detected for the determination of strain. The research presented here describes the development of a new optical fiber sensor system for measurement of structural strains based on white light interferometry. An optical switch provides for multiplexing of strain signals from various locations in the structure. Redundant Bragg grating type fiber optic sensors as well as strain gauges were employed for comparison and verification of strain signals as measured by the new system. The system provides capability for distributed sensing of strains in large structures.

Abstract Bolted joints are used in many industrial products such as mechanical structures, automobiles, airplanes, chemical plants, and so on. In many cases, after the design of new products is finished, various tests on the bolt and bolted joints are carried out using actual parts to prevent accidents due to bolt loosening and fracture. At the same time, in the strength tests, external force measurement, axial bolt force measurement and so on are included. However, there are no advanced tests in which axial bolt strain distribution or bolt elongation in actual parts and so on are measured. Therefore, in this research, a new method for evaluating bolt strength characteristics using an optical fiber sensor system capable of measuring actual parts is demonstrated. First, a tensile strength test using an optical fiber sensor is carried out to measure strain distribution in a bolt, and a maximum strain value position in the measured clamp load-strain curve is shown. Then, the elongation at each part of the bolt is shown. Next, yield clamp bolt force is found using this sensor system in torque/clamp force testing. In addition, the measured yield clamp bolt force is compared with the values in the conventional measurement method and in the estimation formula. Also, discussed is the effective cross section area by which the stress at the engaged threads is calculated under tensile load. Finally, another case where an optical fiber sensor system is used for bolt fastening evaluation is discussed.
