Development of a System-Level Distributed Sensing Technique for Long-Term Monitoring of Concrete and Composite Bridges
项目名称: Development of a System-Level Distributed Sensing Technique for Long-Term Monitoring of Concrete and Composite Bridges
摘要: Long-distance distributed sensing of bridges using fiber optic sensors is achieved by the Brillouin scattering of nonlinear acoustic photons (laser light) inside an optical fiber. Such nonlinear scattering of incident photons can be exploited to obtain the change of state (due to temperature or stress) at different locations in an optical fiber over a long distance (e.g., from several to hundreds of miles). In this project, Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (BOTDR) technique has been adopted for distributed sensing of mechanical and thermal strains of bridges. Figure 2 shows the schematic configuration of BOTDR for bridge monitoring and the conceptual description of multiphysical observation of structural behavior for health monitoring. The research team will develop a system-level distributed sensing technique and its design procedure for composite and concrete bridges, as well as developing structural health monitoring algorithms based on mechanical and electromagnetic measurements using fiber optic, video motion, and radar sensors.
