Abstract:Real-time monitoring of vibration characteristics of large-scale engineering structures such as buildings, bridges and dams is of great significance for research in the field of structural health monitoring. Aiming at the key problem that the performance index and miniaturization of existing cantilever fiber grating acceleration sensors cannot be balanced, a miniaturized low-frequency FBG acceleration sensor with symmetrical cantilever beam is proposed. The formula derivation and ANSYS simulation software are used to carry out the structural parameter optimization analysis and simulation design of the sensor structure parameters. The research results show that the natural frequency of the sensor is about 72 Hz, which can be used to monitor vibration signals in the frequency range of 8-52 Hz. Compared with similar FBG acceleration sensors, the volume is greatly reduced, only 6.48 cm3, and the research results provide a reference for the development of the same type of sensors.
