The proposed structure can be obtained through splicing the no-core fiber, few-mode fiber and no-core fiber (NFN) with a certain length in sequence. Its measurement range can cover 2 to 12 for pH and 20 °C to 90 °C for temperature. Meanwhile, surface silanization of the optical fiber is performed to facilitate the adhesion of the hydrogel and to refine the silanization process. The pH-based transmission-sensitivity is measured to be 0.959 dB/pH and the highest pH-based wavelength-sensitivity is 0.837 nm/pH. The temperature-based wavelength-sensitivities are measured to be 0.01 nm/°C and 0.02 nm/°C, respectively, in two different pH environments of 2 ∼ 5 and 5 ∼ 12, while the temperature-based transmission-sensitivities are measured to be 0.432 dB/°C and 0.356 dB/°C, respectively. The pH response of hydrogel and inherent temperature response of NFN-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer enable the sensor to perform dual parameter measurements for pH and temperature. The dual-parameter matrices are established and validation experiments are carried out. It is demonstrated that the pH and temperature measurement errors can be as low as 0.088 and 1.112°C respectively. This sensor is expected to have broad prospects in environmental monitoring, chemical analysis, and other related fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"243 ","pages":"Article 116321"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142743591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the assembly demand of the segment pose-adjustment and docking, a pose-adjustment measurement network of the cabin segment was constructed under a large field of view in this study. Then a cooperative docking strategy was proposed for docking and assembly of large segment-type components by taking the major difficulties in large component pose-adjustment and docking technology as an entry point. Considering the limitations of the traditional least squares-based pose conversion method, a combined measurement pose conversion method was proposed based on the weighted overall least squares (WOLS) method, and the error threshold iteration is used to improve the conversion accuracy, so that the overall pose conversion accuracy of the feature points is about 0.028 mm. Additionally, regarding the pose adjustment of cabin segments, this study refines the inverse solution pose model and proposes a pose inverse solution method for the parallel robot using the quaternion approach, which results in an accuracy of about 0.036 mm in the pose movement. Meanwhile, considering the influence of complex factors on docking accuracy, we propose a comprehensive assessment model of attitude adjustment accuracy based on the extreme value method, and calculate that the docking accuracy of cabin segment pose adjustment under this strategy is about 0.0814 mm. Finally, this study presents accuracy simulations and on-site docking experiments. The experimental results indicate that the cooperative docking strategy improves the accuracy of feature point pose conversion by 7.14 % and the stability of the pose inverse solution of the pose-adjustment mechanism by 4.2 %. This meets the accuracy requirements, enhances docking efficiency, and demonstrates feasibility in engineering practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 116313"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142743955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a data-driven calibration method for identifying the frequency characteristics of pressure measurement system with a pressure transmission tube by shock tube system. The distorted calibration signal is first corrected to reduce the effect of complex noise by combining the robust local mean decomposition and a main frequency dispersion component cluster scheme. A modified Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is presented to establish the transfer model of the pressure measurement system based on the corrected calibration signal and the dynamic pressure generated by shock tube. The frequency characteristics of the pressure measurement system is then identified, and the dispersion of the calibration results is quantitatively evaluated through a kernel density estimation assisted Monte Carlo method. A series of calibration experiments for pressure measurement system with pressure transmission tubes are carried out by a shock tube system. Results show that the proposed method is able to reduce the influence of high-frequency noise and improve the calibration results of the multiple frequency characteristics of the pressure measurement system with a pressure transmission tube. Furthermore, the comparative experiments on the dispersion evaluation of calibration results also demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the Fourier transformation method in calibration reliability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 116293"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142744041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
