Abstract

The simultaneous measurement method of bending curvature and bending direction includes first measuring long period fiber grating bending characteristic and drawing the bending sensitivity curve of resonance wavelength of long period fiber grating LPFGA and LPFGB vs circumferential direction in 360 deg; cascading LPFGA and LPFGB and LPFGC with unimodal fibers and embedding into the measured engineering structure; measuring variation in resonance wavelength; calculating bending curvature; and judging the bending direction of the measured engineering structure based on the variation in LPFGA and LPFGB resonance wavelength and the bending curvature and through comparison with the bending sensitivity curve. The present invention realizes the simultaneous measurement method of bending curvature and bending direction of engineering structure, and the sensor is small, low in cost, compatible with fiber and easy in embedding into the measured engineering structure.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a measuring method in the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a simultaneous measuring method of bending curvature and bending direction. Background technique

[0002] Long period fiber grating (long period fiber grating: LPFG) is a kind of optical fiber passive band-stop filter device that has only appeared in recent years. Long-period fiber gratings have the advantages of no retroreflection, full compatibility with optical fibers, small size, can be embedded in smart materials, and in some respects have better sensing characteristics than fiber Bragg gratings. Therefore, long-period fiber gratings have been widely used in the field of optical fiber sensing since their appearance. The resonant wavelength of LPFG written in ordinary optical fiber by ultraviolet light changes linearly with the increase of bending curvature. Therefore, such LPFGs are better bend sensors. Since the common bending sensitiv...
