7) will realize distributed measurement, Fig. 6 shows that structure can be directly installed on and guarantees on the works that transducing part is continuous.The basic sensing principle of Fiber Bragg Grating FBG (FBG)
Light in the transmission of Fiber Bragg Grating FBG (FBG) as shown in Figure 7, theoretical derivation can prove to have maximum reflectivity and minimum transmissivity for making FBG, its centre wavelength should satisfy
λ B＝2n eΛ
N wherein eBe the grating index modulation degree of depth, Λ is a grid cycle.Existing various sensors based on FBG all are the centre wavelength of utilizing strain or temperature change FBG directly or indirectly basically at present, reach the purpose of test physical quantity.
1) strain sensitivity
△λ B＝λ B(1-P e)*ε
Wherein, P eIt is the strain optical coefficient of material.For silica fibre, P e≈ 0.22.Therefore for wave band λ commonly used B=1550nm has:
△λ B＝(1.2pm/με)*ε
2) temperature control
△λ B＝λ B(α+ξ)*△T
Wherein, α makes the thermal expansivity of fiber optic materials, and ξ is a thermo-optical coeffecient.Generally speaking, α＜＜ξ.For multiple optical fiber, when temperature is between 20～150 ℃, ξ ≈ 7.2 * 10 -6/ ℃; In the time of between 400 ℃, ξ ≈ 10 * 10 -6/ ℃.Therefore for wave band λ commonly used B=1550nm has:
λ B＝(11pm/℃)*△T
The present invention has mainly used the strain sensitivity characteristics of FBG, i.e. the strained influence of centre wavelength is drifted about.And attempt mode, the influence that makes FBG not changed by ambient temperature by temperature compensation.
The realization principle that is used for the long gauge length FBG strain transducer of small strain test
Suppose that the gauge length two ends of sensor and tested works bonding is good, no relative displacement, the detailed derivation of equation and being described as follows:
If the optical fiber in the sleeve pipe adopts two kinds of different encapsulating materials.δ 1, δ 0Be two-part displacement, ε 1, ε 0Be corresponding strain, E 1, E 0Be corresponding elastic modulus, A 1, A 0Be corresponding cross-sectional area.
The total displacement at gauge length two ends: δ=δ 1+ δ 0=ε 1L 1+ ε 0L 0
Each point is stressed all identical in the sleeve pipe, therefore has:
ϵ 1 : ϵ 0 = N 0 E 1 A 1 : N 0 E 0 A 0 = 1 E 1 A 1 : 1 E 0 A 0
So the strain of FBG part is ϵ 0 = δ L 0 + E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 ( L - L 0 )
Mean strain ϵ ‾ = δ L = L 0 + E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 ( L - L 0 ) L ϵ 0 = ( ( 1 - E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 ) L 0 L + E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 ) · ϵ 0
Order α E = E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 , α L = L 0 L ε=(α is then arranged L+ α E-α Lα E) ε 0, so far can obtain following important conclusion:
A) ε 0=η ε, wherein η = 1 α L + α E - α L α E Be called amplification coefficient
Here, ε is that the distortion by tested works causes, size has nothing to do with sensor itself; ε 0Strain for the FBG measurement.By following formula as seen, as long as select suitable α E, α L, promptly select suitable encapsulating material and length, the strain size that is reflected on the FBG can be amplified.This has greatly improved the too small rough sledding of being flooded by noise easily of the strain measurement value of works under the ambient vibration, for the ambient vibration strain testing has been opened up new approach.If α E=1, promptly adopt identical material package sensor, ε=ε is then arranged 0The encapsulation manufacturing method of Here it is our the initial long gauge length FBG sensor that proposes.
B) consider E 0＜＜E 1, i.e. α E→ 0, then η ≈ 1 α L = L L 0 , The distortion that is equivalent to sensor gauge length L scope is fully by inside pipe casing L 0The part of length is born.
C) at present adopt high-elastic modulus fibre compound substance encapsulation diagram green portion during actual package, with the red part that comprises FBG of ordinary epoxy resin encapsulation diagram.E under this situation is verified in experiment 0＜＜E 1, the strain that FBG measures and the mean strain of practical structures thing are satisfied: ϵ 0 = L L 0 ϵ ‾
The realization principle of long gauge length FBG strain transducer temperature compensation
Suppose that it is that promptly temperature variation is to the not influence of tested works on zero the tested works that sensor is installed in temperature expansion coefficient.Suppose that in addition tested works is not subjected to external force, the gauge length two ends of sensor and tested works bonding are good, and no relative displacement is zero here.If the temperature sensitive coefficient of FBG is γ T, the strain sensitive coefficient is γ ε
Suppose that the optical fiber in the sleeve pipe adopts two kinds of different encapsulating materials, δ 1, δ 0Be two-part displacement, ε 1, ε 0Be corresponding strain, E 1, E 0Be corresponding elastic modulus, C 1, C 0Be corresponding temperature expansion coefficient, A 1, A 0Be corresponding cross-sectional area.
The only total displacement that causes of temperature variation δ T = δ 1 T + δ 0 T = ( C 1 ( L - L 0 ) + C 0 L 0 ) T
Because total displacement δ=δ T+ δ N=0, so must there be an external force at the sensor two ends, be made as N.
Therefore, the drift of FBG centre wavelength is made up of three parts in this encapsulating structure that is caused by temperature:
λ＝λ 1+λ 2+λ 3
λ 1Temperature expansion by FBG part encapsulating material causes; λ 2N causes by external force; λ 3Be the influence of temperature to FBG itself.
Obvious λ 1=C 0T γ ε
From the exploitation of the above-mentioned long gauge length FBG strain transducer that is used for small strain test as can be known, the strain of the FBG that is caused by external force N is:
ϵ 0 N = δ N L 0 + E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 ( L - L 0 ) = - δ T L 0 + E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 ( L - L 0 )
Therefore λ 2 = ϵ 0 N γ ϵ = - δ T γ ϵ L 0 + E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 ( L - L 0 ) = - ( C 1 ( L - L 0 ) + C 0 L 0 ) T γ ϵ L 0 + E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 ( L - L 0 )
Order α E = E 0 A 0 E 1 A 1 , α L = L 0 L , α C = C 0 C 1 , Then λ 2 = - C 1 ( 1 - α L ) + C 0 α L α E ( 1 - α L ) + α L T γ ϵ
λ 3=T γ TComprehensive above various getting: λ = λ 1 + λ 2 + λ 3 = ( C 0 γ ϵ - C 1 ( 1 - α L ) + C 0 α L α E ( 1 - α L ) + α L γ ϵ + γ T ) T Here to eliminate Temperature Influence, i.e. temperature variation, FBG centre wavelength does not have drift, then
η T = C 0 γ ϵ - C 1 ( 1 - α L ) + C 0 α L α E ( 1 - α L ) + α L γ ϵ + γ T = 0
η TBe only relevant with a material coefficient, visible as long as select suitable encapsulating material, temperature can be eliminated the influence of this long gauge length FBG strain transducer.Consider to adopt a kind of material package, i.e. A 1=A 0, E 1=E 0, C 1=C 0, α then E=1, α L=1, η then T=γ T≠ 0, obviously can't realize temperature compensation.So adopting two or more different encapsulating materials is the necessary conditions that realize temperature compensation.Consider E 0＜＜E 1, i.e. α E→ 0, by η T=0 can get C 1 = γ T γ ϵ · α L 1 - α L , With C 0Irrelevant.Have generally speaking: γ T=11pm/ ℃, γ ε=1.2pm/ μ m, then C 1 ≈ 10 α L 1 - α L (μ m/ ℃) be 0＜α wherein L＜1.If α L = 1 2 , C then 1≈ 10
Beneficial effect: compared with prior art, the encapsulating structure of the distributed long mark square FBG strain transducer that the present invention proposes has following advantage:
Distributed long gauge length FBG strain transducer can be realized following important measurement: a) mean strain is measured.Mean strain can avoid the stress/strain that causes because of factors such as cracks to concentrate, thereby makes the strain value of measurement can reflect the curvature of member intuitively.B) distributed measurement.Can contain structure as much as possible in a big way, obtain a vector that constitutes by all mean strain components, thereby complete relatively structural information is provided.C) kinetic measurement.High speed FBG demodulating system can be obtained the time-history curves of distributed mean strain efficiently, be converted to frequency domain after, can obtain the wide cut spectrum curve, thereby obtain the natural frequency of vibration and the mode mean strain of high-order.This provides advantage for the structure for health diagnosis based on vibration.
The present invention is used for large structures such as RC (reinforced concrete) or other composite structure are carried out the distribution monitoring of local failure, as monitor generation, position and the degree in crack, creeping of monitoring of structures material, whether the monitoring reinforcing bar corrodes, and whether the monitoring concrete strength degenerates.
The present invention can utilize the high precision strain measurement result of long gauge length sensor to replace the overall performance evaluation that deformation test methods such as fleximeter are used for works.Although fleximeter be generally acknowledge at present integrality performance of the structure is measured the most directly effective sensor, but need a reference position to limit the use of its reality during owing to installation, for example can not have such " reference point " to place fleximeter in the bridge span.
The present invention is used for the measurement environment vibration dynamic strain time-histories of bridge and other works down, extracts the feature modal parameter of works with this, for the health monitoring of structure provides foundation.And be worth particularly pointing out be, in flexure mode structure, the measurement that is actually a kind of amount of deflection degree of freedom with acceleration is similar, mean strain is actually the measurement of the difference of rotational degree of freedom, thereby a kind of metering system of rotational degree of freedom is provided indirectly.That is to say that distributed long gauge length FBG strain transducer can provide the kinetic measurement with the accelerometer equivalence, the former emphasizes rotational degree of freedom, and the latter emphasizes the amount of deflection degree of freedom.
The present invention be used to realize high-acruracy survey under the environmental baseline such as temperature variation complexity and works in good time and long term monitoring.

Application example in the RC beam
The application of distributed long gauge length FBG Fibre Optical Sensor in the reinforced concrete structure health monitoring may be summarized to be two levels.The one, be the damage of representative with the Crack Monitoring, the 2nd, the overall performance evaluation of structure.The part important conclusion of following brief overview FBG sensor in the RC beam is used.
As mentioned above, traditional " point " foil gauge often occurs losing efficacy because of stress raisers and crack, and on large-scale civil structure, distribute arrange unactual yet.Long gauge length FBG sensor can remedy the deficiency of this two aspect, and on the one hand the strain equalization has relaxed the local stress sudden change that causes after the crack occurs, and guarantees that sensor still can effectively work; On the other hand, being connected in series long gauge length FBG sensor can carry out distribution measuring in certain zone of total or structure, contains complete relatively crack information.Test shows the common RC beam of a span 2m, and the FBG sensor of gauge length 0.2m can be monitored appearance, position and the degree in crack effectively.
The overall performance evaluation that can be used for structure is the most outstanding advantage of distributed long gauge length FBG sensor.Test shows, the common RC beam of a span 2m, and 4 are curved, and the mean strain of the FBG sensor measurement that gauge length 0.4m is above and the mid-span deflection of RC beam have good linear relationship.This important phenomenon explanation, as long as gauge length and position suitable, long gauge length FBG sensor can replace displacement meter fully, and it is well-known, displacement meter is that integrality performance of the structure is measured the most directly effective sensor, but need a reference position to limit the use of its reality during owing to installation, for example can not have such " reference point " to place displacement meter in the bridge span.In addition, relatively find with the result of Theoretical Calculation, mean strain and theoretical value in the 0.2m length of actual measurement are more identical, the strain of 0.8 length that obtains after the actual measurement mean strain in the strain of the 0.4m length that obtains after the actual measurement mean strain in two 0.2m length is average and four the 0.2m length is average is more consistent with theoretical value, this is for carrying out such as load assessment reinforced concrete structure based on the mean strain of actual measurement, rigidity is with fixed, and contrary analysis the such as reinforcement stresses estimation provides important evidence.In conjunction with above Crack Monitoring as seen, the common RC beam of a span 2m, the FBG sensor of gauge length 0.2m not only can be monitored the crack effectively but also can assess the whole member performance through the postpone of distribution cloth.

2) shaketalle test of RC bridge pier
One high 2m, xsect is that the shaketalle test of the RC bridge pier of 45cm * 80cm shows: the top that sticks on two sides of test specimen when the FBG sensor with epoxy resin, the position that foil gauge with identical gauge length is attached to its parallel sided is in order to relatively the time, the earthquake strain-responsive that both measure overlaps substantially, and the time domain under the simple harmonic oscillation also has good consistent with frequency curve.
