摘要

Composite pressure vessels are widely used for cryogenic fuel tanks, solid rocket boosters, and recently hydrogen tanks for fuel cell vehicles. Although demand for composite structures rapidly increase due to the advantages in weight, there are few effective assessment techniques to enable the quality control and guarantee the durability. In particular, the microscopic damage detection technology is required because damages such as crack, debonding, and delamination in the composite materials can lead to the critical failure of the structures. Among many nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for composite structures, optical fibers sensors are especially attractive due to the high sensitivity, the lightweight, and the small size. In the current trend of the structural health monitoring technology, fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) sensors, one of the optical fiber sensors, are frequently used as strain or temperature sensors. FBGs are fabricated in optical fibers by exposing their core to a periodic ultraviolet (UV) pattern and can be designed to cause reflection of light at a specific wavelength that is called the Bragg wavelength. The Bragg wavelength associated with the refractive index and the grating period shifts accompanying strain or temperature changes. FBGs can easily achieve a strain resolution of approximately 1 με by using a conventional demodulator. Moreover, in addition to the strain or temperature sensing, FBGs have the potential to detect invisible microscopic damages in the composite structures. This paper presents a real-time strain measurement of a composite LH_2 tank in flight experiments of a reusable rocket using the FBGs. This tank that consists of CFRP and aluminum liner is fabricated by the filament winding (FW) method and mounted on the reusable rocket test vehicle. An onboard FBG demodulator was developed in order to be mounted on the rocket. During the flight experiments, the output of the onboard FBG demodulator was continuously monitored via telemetry system. Following this real-time strain monitoring of the composite LH_2 tank, crack detection in a composite FW tank was furthermore attempted using embedded FBGs in order to enhance the structural health monitoring system.
