For the requirement of pressure detection in high temperature environments, this paper presents a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based pressure sensor with a simple structure. The structural model of the sensor has been established with the consideration of a sensing principle and a small deflection effect of the circular membrane. The finite element analysis has been employed to validate the rationality of the sensor structure design and realize the digital simulation of the theoretical model. Through the analysis, the selection of packaging materials, the design of structural parameters and the pressure and temperature calibration of the developed sensor has been performed. The encapsulation of the sensor at high temperatures has been improved based on the theoretical analysis, simulation and testing, which proves the effectiveness of the sensor for pressure measurement at high temperatures of 100 °C~250 °C. The study provides a feasible sensing device for high-temperature pressure detection.

Regenerated Fiber Bragg grating (RFBG) sensors exhibit tremendous growth in recent years and could be widely used for measuring strains and for structural integrity assessment of components operated at high-temperature if critical issues (fatigue life, interface integrity, etc.) are addressed. For the determination of fatigue life of metal-packaged RFBG strain sensors at high temperatures, tensile fatigue tests are performed on the sensors. The preliminary results show that the sensors exhibit good linearity and repeatability, and rare sensitivity change under cyclic tension loading when exposed to constant high temperature up to 500 °C, without obvious variations in the spectral response. The rupture of the optical fibers is the major cause of fatigue failure of the sensors. The sensors subjected to lower test strain have greater fatigue life. A rapid decrease in Bragg wavelength is observed at the beginning of the fatigue tests followed by stabilization of the Bragg wavelength. These results indicate that the sensors are the promising candidates for health monitoring of structures subjected to cyclic loads at high temperatures.
