概要
Abstract : A new technique of temperature and strain measurement using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) optical fiber sensor at high temperature in irradiation environment was proposed, in which interrogation of FBGs is carried out based on optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR). Heating test results showed that stable temperature measurement can be done at 600°C and the reflectance of FBG can be kept constant up to 1000°C. From the strain measurement test on a cantilever, multi-point strain measurement capability with high measurement accuracy was successfully demonstrated. Strain distribution mapping of a compressed elbow pipe and an observation of damping oscillation of a cantilever are also presented as practical applications of our technique. The FBG-OTDR optical fiber sensor will be a promising tool for inspection and diagnostics of material degradation in nuclear engineering applications.
