Hypervelocity impact monitoring and location identification on aluminum plate based on FBG sensing system

Abstract:

To achieve the real-time detecting and localization of hypervelocity impact events, a monitoring and localization system was designed based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network. First, the simulation model was built to study the damage evolution and wave propagation process. Subsequently, based on the response mechanism of FBG to strain, the corresponding high frequency demodulation system was designed. Furthermore, a hypervelocity impact experiment was performed to verify the effectiveness of the designed system. Finally, combined with the diamond sensor array localization algorithm, the accurate position of hypervelocity impact source can be achieved.
