A unique multiparameter sensor for distributed measurement of temperature and strain based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering in polyimide-coated optical fiber is proposed, which is an excellent candidate for the cross-sensitivity problem in conventional Brillouin sensing network. In the experimental section, the discrimination of strain and temperature is successfully demonstrated by analysing the unequal sensing coefficients of the Brillouin frequency shifts generated by different acoustic modes. The Brillouin frequency shifts of the main two peaks are successfully measured to discriminate the strain and temperature with an accuracy 19.68 με and 1.02°C in 2.5 km sensing range. The proposed distributed Brillouin optical fiber sensor allows simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain, thus opening a door for practical application such as oil explorations.

Along temperature, humidity is one of the principal environmental factors that plays an important role in various application areas. Presented work investigates possibility of distributed fiberoptic humidity monitoring based on humidity-induced strain measurement in polyimide (PI)-coated optical fibers. Characterization of relative humidity (RH) and temperature response of four different commercial PI- and one acrylate-coated fiber was performed using optical backscattering reflectometry (OBR). The study addresses issues of temperature-humidity cross-sensitivity, fiber response stability, repeatability, and the influence of annealing. Acrylate-coated fiber exhibited rather unfavorable nonlinear RH response with strong temperature dependence, which makes it unsuitable for humidity sensing applications. On the other hand, humidity response of PI-coated fibers showed good linearity with fiber sensitivity slightly decreasing at rising temperatures. In the tested range, temperature sensitivity of the fibers remained humidity independent. Thermal annealing was shown to considerably improve and stabilize fiber RH response. Based on performed analysis, a 20 m sensor using the optimal PI-coated fibers was proposed and constructed. The sensor uses dual sensing fiber configuration for mutual decoupling and simultaneous measurement of temperature and RH variations. Using OBR, distributed dual temperature-RH monitoring with cm spatial resolution was demonstrated for the first time.

A tribotester with an integrated load sensor based on a strain gauge is typically used to measure the friction coefficient generated by the contact-related sliding motion of two objects. Since the friction coefficient is obtained by dividing the measured friction force by the applied normal force, the normal and friction forces must be measured for accurate analysis. In this study, a tribotester was used to measure the displacement of a cantilever tip using the fiberoptic sensor in a non-contact method. The friction coefficient measurement using the fiberoptic sensor was proven to be valid by calibrating the tip displacement due to normal/friction forces after designing a basic structural cantilever tip based on experiments and simulation analyses. The results obtained by using the fiberoptic sensor-cantilever tip-based tribotester were compared with those obtained using commercial and/or custom-built tribotesters under the same conditions. By designing various shapes of cantilever tips and using simulation analysis, the calibrations of the normal/friction forces and tip displacement could be verified and the coupling effect was evaluated. The performance and reliability of the fiberoptic sensor-cantilever tip-based tribotester, which can be used to determine the normal/friction forces by non-contact displacement measurements without a strain gauge, were verified.

Industrial automation technology is developing veryfast, especially in the process of taking and putting the work object. Prototype Pick and Place with a pneumatic system based on Omron PLC CP1E type was created with the aim to move the cube-shaped object with a size 4,5x4,5x4,5 cm and a weight of 0.2 kg with a speed of 12 objects of work every minute. This tool works by using air as the driving fluid, when the sensor detects an object phototelectric work, then the double-acting cylinder pneumatic actuator will push the work object to object retrieval area. Pneumatic gripper will grip the work object, condition or not grasped the object detected by fiberoptic sensor, ifan object has been gripped, the object will be removed and taken to a packaging object has been waiting for. The object then lowered into the packaging, then the object along with the packaging will be drawn with other pneumatic cylinder to the finishing area. After testing and analysis of the prototype is made in the form of the results it can take 25 seconds to move the object 5 pieces of work along with the packaging to the finishing area, so on average each 1 objects and packaging can be moved within 5 seconds.When the minimum air pressure of 0.15 MPa maximum lifting power of this tool is 0.632 kg, while when the maximum air pressure of 0.7 MPa maximum lifting capacity is 2,94 kg.
