Monitoring method for dynamical stress of centrifugal blower vane based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing technique is presented in this paper. Consisting of FBG sensors, FBG interrogator and fiber optic rotary joint, this monitoring system has bare FBG as strain sensor, monitors stresses at the inlet and outlet of the centrifugal blower. Details about stick up method of FBG sensors are shown in this paper, either. In addition, this method has been applied to experimental model of centrifugal blower, and it was found that: stress at the outlet of the air vane is more than that at the inlet; within the working range, stress of air vane increases in company with increment of rotating speed, though it is not linear relation between them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
