Fibre Bragg Grating Based Strain Sensors: Review of
In this paper, a general review of the FBG strain sensors, interrogation techniques, performance, and their application fields are presented.
Gs-yb-type fiber optic grating strain sensor
The GS-YB-Ⅰ is a fiber optic grating strain sensor based on FBG technology, designed for precise strain measurement in concrete, steel, and composite structures.OverviewThe GS-YB-Ⅰ sensor operates using Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) technology, where a periodic variation in the refractive index of the fiber core reflects specific wavelengths of light. When strain is applied, the grating period changes, shifting the reflected Bragg wavelength. This shift is measured by an optoelectronic interrogator to determine the strain with high sensitivity and accuracy . FBG sensors are dielectric, immune to electromagnetic interference, and suitable for harsh environments, including high voltage, high temperature, or corrosive conditions .Design and InstallationThe GS-YB-Ⅰ sensor can be embedded or surface-mounted depending on the application:Embedded sensors are installed inside concrete, reinforced concrete, or plastic materials for long-term monitoring of internal stresses and structural health .Surface-mounted sensors attach to steel or concrete surfaces, transmitting external strain to the internal fiber grating through a mounting mechanism . The sensor is compact, durable, and can be integrated into quasi-distributed sensor networks using series or parallel connections, enabling multi-point monitoring across large structures .ApplicationsGS-YB-Ⅰ sensors are widely used in:Civil engineering: monitoring bridges, tunnels, pipelines, and reinforced concrete structures .Structural health monitoring: detecting stress changes, strain distribution, and potential damage in steel or composite materials .Research and industrial applications: precise strain measurement in laboratory or field conditions, including dynamic and static load testing .AdvantagesHigh sensitivity and reliability for accurate strain detection .Simultaneous strain and temperature measurement possible with dual FBG configurations .Durable protective housing with sliding mechanisms allows free movement of sensor ends, reducing installation stress .Compatibility with optical interrogators for remote and real-time monitoring .SummaryThe GS-YB-Ⅰ fiber optic grating strain sensor is a robust, high-precision solution for monitoring structural strain in concrete, steel, and composite materials. Its FBG-based design ensures long-term reliability, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and suitability for harsh environments, making it ideal for civil engineering, industrial, and research applications .
