AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot achieve real-time monitoring of continuous distributed damage within the entire length of the fiber reinforcement in a fiber-reinforced cable, nor can they monitor the evolution of damage within the fiber-reinforced cable in real time, nor can they monitor and characterize the service status within the entire length of a parallel fiber-reinforced cable.
Single-mode optical fibers are arranged in a certain pattern on the cross section of the fiber reinforcement. Millimeter-level high spatial resolution strain sensing technology is used to conduct high spatial resolution strain tests on the fiber reinforcement suspension cable. The real-time stiffness and cable force of the fiber reinforcement are monitored by an OFDR distributed fiber demodulator. The stiffness and internal force of the fiber reinforcement are calculated by combining series and parallel system models, so as to realize the service status monitoring and evaluation of the fiber reinforcement suspension cable.
It enables real-time monitoring and evaluation of internal damage to fiber reinforced suspenders, provides timely warnings of damage evolution, offers a basis for safety warnings and replacement, and ensures the safe service of fiber reinforced suspenders.
