Abstract Polymer or Plastic Optical Fiber sensors (POFs) and Fiber Bragg Grating sensors
(FBGs) have gained increasing popularity in biomedical engineering (BME) applications …

The health condition assessment of long-span structures (ie, pipes) has always been
important for tracking the service safety state. Effectively monitoring the large-scale …

Steel pipes are widely used in offshore structures and buried seafloor pipelines. Buried
single-wall pipelines or piles of fixed offshore platforms crossing the earthquake fault can …

Monitoring of thermoplastic carbon reinforced composites is critical for the safe operation
and optimization of composite structures. Strain measurement during their manufacturing …

At present, traditional subsea pipeline structural health monitoring (SHM) uses the sonar
equipment, which needs to post-process the obtained data. Then the sonar images can be …

Intelligent perception of a scraper conveyor straightness and attitude monitoring of
mechanical supporting equipment in the stope have practical and theoretical values for …

Here, we demonstrate an FBG-array-based ultra-fast shape perception system where a
novel shape restoration algorithm is proposed and a time-stretch technology is used to fast …

The safe operation of railway systems relies on rapid and accurate non-destructive damage
detection and evaluation techniques to help rule out potential threats brought by rail track …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is broadly used in the defense and aerospace
industries due to its superior performance, and the real-time monitoring of its structural …

Buried PVC water pipeline is prone to deformation due to the influence of unfavorable
factors such as external load and soil collapse. Once the deformation exceeds the critical …
