Real-time monitoring of settlement and deformation within a coal mine’s deep quaternary unconsolidated strata presents challenges with installation and signal analysis. This paper presents results from successfully installing a field-scale fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing system in a deep borehole for the purpose of achieving real-time monitoring of the settlement and deformation in a deep unconsolidated stratum. A 152 m deep by 133 mm diameter borehole was used to embed an array of 24 FBG sensors in 12 layers of gravel and clay from between 92.4 m and 148.7 m of unconsolidated quaternary strata. A wavelength bandwidth of ±4.5 nm was used with a wavelength division multiplexing and spatial division multiplexing technique to compose a 4-by-6 sensor array. During the four stages of installation, the real-time transmission characteristics and the changes in the FBG wavelength for this sensing system were evaluated. While the FBG sensing system was stable after installation, it was clearly shown that the engineering techniques associated with both positioning and grouting influenced the mechanical properties and transmission characteristics of the system. After installation, the sensor survival rate was found to be 78.26% with a maximum FBG wavelength shift of 1.447 nm. This field-scale installation has provided information and experience that will improve future installations of buried fiber optic sensing technology throughout the underground coal mine industry.

In this paper, the main factors influencing the reliability of submarine optical fiber cables (SOFC) are analyzed, and the significance of the research on real-time monitoring technology of SOFC is illuminated. Also, the principle of distributed double Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) interference vibration sensing system is discussed. Then, the feasibility of the system applied in pre-warning and fault location of SOFC is verified. In view of the main problems of the optical fiber vibration sensing system, two optimization schemes are presented in this paper to improve the performance of the system.

This study proposes a sensing system that can sense force and temperature at the same time. The system consists of MEMS-LSI integrated tactile sensor devices called sensor nodes, a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) based relay node, and a host PC. For real-time temperature and force data acquisition, a time-sharing force and temperature task processing mechanism was implemented with a dedicated computer architecture in the FPGA configuration and the host program. This study firstly reports the temperature dependency analysis of a capacitive sensor readout circuit in the sensor node by circuit-level simulation. With a fabricated sensor node, sensor output data were measured and analyzed with varying temperatures and applied force. Based on the measured data, linear multiple regression equations for temperature compensation of sensed force data were developed. In the temperature range of 24.8°C–60°C, the average/maximum force errors when considering the temperature effect were −0.98%/65% without the compensation, and 0.072%/17% with the compensation, respectively. One cycle time of temperature and force sensing for one sensor node was 113 ms on average. The experimental results showed that real-time temperature and force sensing and temperature compensation for accurate force sensing could be achieved successfully. The study also demonstrated the system with hot-coffee cup and finger touch examples.
