Development of Automatic Temperature Compensation Software for Optical Fibre Sensing Data M.Res in Photonic Systems Development Mini Project Malcolm Scott Supervisor: Prof. Kenichi Soga

Strain Sensing in Civil Engineering Determine how a structure moves over time New structures – movement as soil settles, and as load increases Old structures – measure structural health as surroundings are redeveloped Piles, buildings, tunnels, bridges, … Reproduced from Mohamad (2008)

Traditional Strain Sensors Vibrating Wire Strain Gauge Resonant frequency of taut wire changes with tension Point sensor, individually installed Only a few points per structure May miss important features in the spaces between sensors

Distributed Optical Fibre Sensing Strain profile rather than point data Measure along the length of the fibre Fibre itself is sensor Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR) Strain Distance Reproduced from Bennett (2006)

Optical Scattering Reproduced from Mohamad (2008)

Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR) Send a short, high-power laser pulse into sensing fibre Watch for backscattered light within the Brillouin frequency range (Could use forward scattering, but that requires access to both ends of fibre) Very low power! Time of arrival  distance Peak frequency  strain (contaminated by temperature)

Temperature Compensation (Our Way) Two fibres One measures strain and temperature One measures temperature only: Unitube gel-filled cable Perform BOTDR on both; can (nearly) just subtract (Take into account differing cable properties: constant factor)

Case Study: Addenbrooke’s Access Road Bridge

The Data One strain profile: 10, ,000 points (calculated by equipment) One pile/beam: ~10 strain profiles (strain + temperature, repeated; also both ends where fibre is broken) One day’s readings: 2 beams + 7 piles One project: so far, 7 individual days of readings; more to come Potentially on the order of hundreds of millions of points Processing and analysing this data is time-consuming

Analysis the Hard Way 1.Parse data 2.Remove bogus data from beyond the end of the fibre 3.Align & average repeat readings (fibre length may change: resplicing) 4.Mark region of interest 5.Correct for analyser miscalibration 6.Align temperature data and perform compensation 7.Filter noise (Savitzky-Golay) 8.Graph individual data sets 9.Resample and align successive days’ data sets 10.Compute and graph changes in strain profile over time Huge Excel spreadsheet!

Analysis the Easy Way Software for use by geotechnical researchers and civil engineers Open source software Written in Python Object-oriented, modular, model-view-controller based Using scientific computing libraries: NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib Easy to adapt and extend Will be available online:
