An optical fiber sensing system integrating a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor, a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) optical filter and a photodetector is presented to monitor the dynamic response of a structure subjected to base excitation and impact loading. The FBG sensor is attached to a test specimen and connected to an LPFG filter. As the light reflected from the FBG sensor is transmitted through the long-period fiber grating filter, the intensity of the light is modulated by the wavelength, which is affected by the strain of the FBG. By measuring the intensity of the light using a photodetector, the wavelength reflected from the FBG sensor can be demodulated, thus leading to the determination of the strain in the structure. To demonstrate its effectiveness, the proposed sensing system was employed to measure the dynamic strain of a beam subjected to mechanical testing. The mechanical tests comprised three load scenarios: base excitation by a shaker at resonant frequency, impact loading by a hammer and shock test on a drop table. To monitor the dynamic strain during the test and validate the accuracy of the measurement of the FBG sensor, strain gauge was used as reference. Experimental results show good correlation between the measurements of FBG sensor and strain gauge. The present work provides a fast response and easy-to-implement optical fiber sensing system for structural health monitoring based on real-time dynamic strain measurements.

This work describes the development of a quasi-distributed real-time tactile sensing system with a reduced number of fiber Bragg grating-based sensors and reports its use with a reconstruction method based on differential evolution. The sensing system is comprised of six fiber Bragg gratings encapsulated in silicone elastomer to form a tactile sensor array with total dimensions of 60 × 80 mm, divided into eight sensing cells with dimensions of 20 × 30 mm. Forces applied at the central position of the sensor array resulted in linear response curves for the gratings, highlighting their coupled responses and allowing the application of compressive sensing. The reduced number of sensors regarding the number of sensing cells results in an undetermined inverse problem, solved with a compressive sensing algorithm with the aid of differential evolution method. The system is capable of identifying and quantifying up to four different loads at four different cells with relative errors lower than 10.5% and signal-to-noise ratio better than 12 dB.
