A dual oblique wing-based low-frequency FBG accelerometer

Abstract

The low-frequency vibration measurement technology is significant in energy exploration, aerospace, geophysical activities, health monitoring of large engineering structures, etc. A low-frequency FBG accelerometer based on a dual oblique wing is proposed to address the issue of difficulty in accurately measuring low-frequency vibration signals in current fiber Bragg grating accelerometers. Firstly, the structure of this accelerometer was theoretically analyzed and dimension-optimized. Secondly, the static stress analysis and modal simulation analysis are carried out, and the accelerometer is developed. Finally, it is fixed on the vibration table, and the low-frequency vibration test system is built to test the performance. The experimental results show that the natural frequency of the accelerometer is 46 Hz, the working frequency band is 0.1–28 Hz, the sensitivity is 55.6 pm/g, the dynamic range is 48.94 dB, and the resistance to transverse interference of less than 5.62 %. The accelerometer designed in this paper provides a new idea for low-frequency vibration signal measurement.
