Abstract

A network of Fiber-Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors is developed as part of a Structural Health Monitoring system to identify impact damage. The sensor signals are adaptively demodulated using two-wave mixing (TWM) technology. The signals from multiple FBG sensors are multiplexed into a single TWM demodulator. The FBG sensor network is mounted on a plate, and the structure is subjected to impacts generated by dropping small ball bearings. Impact locations are identified based on time frequency analysis.
