Abstract
A sensor based on the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and additive manufacturing for diameter variation measurement is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in this work. Two designs were proposed: a FBG alone and a FBG in series with a spring. Three tests were developed for each design, and at the end, the statistical treatment was performed. The designs were fabricated using a 3D printer, and the FBG sensor is embedded. The results demonstrated that the structures proposed in this work can be used to monitor diameter variation, among other applications. The sensors, with and without spring in series, presented sensitivities of 0.0671 nm/mm and 0.5116 nm/mm, respectively, with a good linear response greater than 0.99.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical regularly publishes original papers, letters to the Editors and from time to time invited review articles within the following device areas:
• Fundamentals and Physics, such as: classification of effects, physical effects, measurement theory, modelling of sensors, measurement standards, measurement errors, units and constants, time and frequency measurement. Modeling papers should bring new modeling techniques to the field and be supported by experimental results.
• Materials and their Processing, such as: piezoelectric materials, polymers, metal oxides, III-V and II-VI semiconductors, thick and thin films, optical glass fibres, amorphous, polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon.
• Optoelectronic sensors, such as: photovoltaic diodes, photoconductors, photodiodes, phototransistors, positron-sensitive photodetectors, optoisolators, photodiode arrays, charge-coupled devices, light-emitting diodes, injection lasers and liquid-crystal displays.
• Mechanical sensors, such as: metallic, thin-film and semiconductor strain gauges, diffused silicon pressure sensors, silicon accelerometers, solid-state displacement transducers, piezo junction devices, piezoelectric field-effect transducers (PiFETs), tunnel-diode strain sensors, surface acoustic wave devices, silicon micromechanical switches, solid-state flow meters and electronic flow controllers.
