Application of the Proposed Fiber Optic Time Differential BOCDA Sensor System for Impact Damage Detection of a Composite Cylinder

An optical-fiber-embedded composite cylinder was fabricated using the filament winding process with an interval of 12 mm in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder. The optical fiber was wound 160 turns around the cylinder, and the straight length was about 125 m. After a total of twelve impact e...

description An optical-fiber-embedded composite cylinder was fabricated using the filament winding process with an interval of 12 mm in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder. The optical fiber was wound 160 turns around the cylinder, and the straight length was about 125 m. After a total of twelve impact events of 5, 10, 15, and 20 J, the residual strain in the cylinder was measured using the proposed time differential BOCDA sensor system. This method makes the traditionally used optical delay unnecessary while increasing the degrees of freedom of using the modulation rate, which determines the spatial resolution of this measurement system. The modulation rates of optical light in the system were applied up to 16 Gbps, which is an eight-fold increase compared to our previous experiments.
