Abstract
Development of an experimental testbench for systems performance monitoring through optical fiber-based sensors. The primary objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the versatility of fiber optic sensors manufactured through the Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) process and, consequently, the potential to use the same hardware in diverse applications to monitor a complex system from multiple perspectives. It was necessary to decide which aeronautical system to emulate, considering the exploitation of the unique properties of fiber optics to achieve a result with significant relevance. The project was defined as a test bench serving as a technological demonstrator; this consisted of a dedicated support system and a cantilevered semi-wing section.
The idea was to equip a wing with sensors for monitoring various parameters such as structural deformations, thermal anomalies, torque applied by an actuator and its position, sloshing, etc., and to design it to conduct experimental tests and measurements of different natures, ultimately validating the proposed solutions
