無論在軍事還是航空航天領域, 光纖傳感器都是一種極具應用前景的智能化監測手段。目前, 將光纖傳感器用于纖維增強樹脂基復合材料固化過程的監測的研究是一個熱點。但由于大多數光纖傳感器監測固化過程成本較高, 所以還沒有被廣泛的應用于實際生產當中。開發了一種新型的低成本、高靈敏度、易操作的光纖傳感器用于纖維增強樹脂基復合材料固化過程的在線監測。光纖傳感器的設計基于光纖微彎損耗原理, 其監測的直接目標
參量為增強纖維所構成的網絡所承擔的壓力變化, 可以進而通過Gutow sk i 的樹脂流動?纖維變形理論間接得出對于固化過程中的幾個關鍵參量。給出了這種壓力傳感器的設計制作方法, 測定該種傳感器在靜態和動態下的壓力2光損耗響應曲線, 分析了該傳感器對環境溫度與折射率變化的響應。完成了利用微彎壓力傳感器進行纖維增強復合材料在熱壓釜中固化成型過程的在線監測實驗, 獲得了良好的結果。
