A system and method for evaluating flexible structures such as textiles under load generally. A specific embodiment is shown for parachutes. A plurality of first sensors and second sensors are attached to the parachute on its canopy and suspension lines. Preferred first sensors are fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) type sensors, and preferred second sensors are modal power distribution (MPD) type sensors. A fiber optic network interconnects the pluralities of first and second sensors to provide sensor outputs which are converted to electronic signals, modulated and transmitted to a receiving station for receiving and processing the transmitted modulated electronic signals. The preferred fiber optic network includes a plurality of light emitting diodes positioned at one end of each fibers and a photodiode array positioned to receive light from each of the fibers. The transmitter acquires the output as data, processes and RF modulates the signal to enhance the signal to noise ratio and prepares it for wireless transmission. The signal may be recorded or read-out before modulation. The preferred receiving station demodulates the received signal enhances the output signal before read-out or recording.
摘要:
A method of installing a cable, particularly but not exclusively in a duct filled with flowing liquid, wherein, as the cable is deployed, the strain in the cable is determined by sending a signal down the cable and receiving a signal back from the cable. The speed of deployment is adjusted according to the strain detected. Preferably the system is applied to optical cables, and a radio frequency signal is modulated on an optical carrier. Optical connection to the cable on the rotating drum is made via an optical slip-ring. The front end of the cable has a silvered end termination for reflecting the modulated signal back along the fibre to be detected by an optical receiver, and there is a vector voltmeter for determining the phased difference between the signals to thus determine the strain in the cable.
