Abstract: A method for detecting cracks in a carbon fiber bicycle frame using an embedded optical fiber is provided. Optical time-domain reflectometry is employed to detect cracks in a bicycle frame made of carbon fibers intertwining with a single-mode optical fiber. The single-mode optical fiber is thus embedded into the bicycle frame and consolidated with the carbon fibers during a manufacturing process of the bicycle frame. Integration of the single-mode optical fiber, which has a small diameter, low cost and lightweight, into the bicycle frame adds little to a production cost and weight of the bicycle frame. The optical fiber consolidated within the bicycle frame can be connected with an optical time-domain reflectometer for efficiently detecting twists or cracks of the carbon fibers in the bicycle frame, both as a quality check in the manufacturing process and as a safety check after the bicycle frame has been used for some time.

Abstract: The invention provides a monitoring device mainly for sensing ground displacement, including the fiber Bragg grating sensored deflectometer and the signal interrogator/computer system. The device uses a segmented design that consists of a flexible tube (referred to as the flexible segment) and two rigid segments and thus referred to as the double hinged FBG segmented deflectometer (DH-FBG-SD). For field installation, multiple DH-FBG-SD units are connected together to form a string as it is inserted into a grouted-in-place inclinometer casing. The distortion of the inclinometer casing induced by ground movement causes relative rotation of the inserted DH-FBG-SD. All of the DH-FBG-SD units are connected to an FBG interrogator/computer system situated on ground surface. The FBG signals are recorded and analyzed by the interrogator/computer system.
