摘要

A compact fiber Bragg grating (FBG) diaphragm accelerometer based on L-shaped rigid cantilever beam is proposed and experimentally demonstrated.The sensing system is based on the integration of a flat diaphragm and an L-shaped rigid cantilever beam.The FBG is pre-tensioned and the two side points are fixed,efficiently avoiding the unwanted chirp effect of grating.Dynamic vibration measurement shows that the proposed FBG diaphragm accelerometer provides a wide frequency response range (0-110 Hz) and an extremely high sensitivity (106.5 pm/g),indentifying it as a good candidate for embedding structural health monitoring and seismic wave measurement.In the past few decades,accelerometers based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) have attracted a great deal of interest from researchers and engineers because they play a vital role in vibration measurements.In recent years,FBG accelerometers have been more and more applied in structural health monitoring[1-3) and seismic wave measurement[4-6].This study concerns about the development of geophones composed of FBG accelerometers in seismic exploration.The main frequency of geophones in seismic wave measurement of oil and gas exploration is usually below 100 Hz.An FBG-based accelerometer consisting of a mass resting on a layer of compliant material supported by a rigid base plate was proposed by Berkoff et al.[7].
