NEUP CINR-17-13022: Versatile Acoustic and Optical Sensing Platforms for Passive Structural System Monitoring

In the proposed three-year program, Principle Investigators from the Center of Photonics Technology (CPT) at Virginia Tech, will collaborate with Prysmian Group, an industry leader in optical fiber and cable manufacturing, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), to develop a distributed acoustic fiber Bragg grating sensing (AFBGs) technology capable of monitoring multiple parameters, such as strain, temperature, pressure, and corrosion. for structural health monitoring in nuclear facilities.
