- Abstract
- The structural deformation of a bogie frame manufactured using a composite material was monitored in real time using a distributed optical fiber sensor. The bogie frame contained an internally embedded standard single-mode optical fiber. Performance tests were conducted by applying a vertical load to the middle of the side beams on each side of the composite bogie frame. The strain distribution was monitored using an optical fiber sensor. A distributed optical fiber sensor system based on the Brillouin optical correlation domain analysis (BOCDA) technique with a 3 cm spatial resolution was used. The distributed strain measured using the optical fiber correlated well with the finite element (FE) analysis data, confirming that the composite bogie frame was fabricated as designed. For a vertical load of 182 kN, the maximum strain, which occurred in the middle of the side frame, increased by 1.3 times, as compared with a vertical load of 140 kN. The experiment was able to verify the balance and the structural stability of the left- and right-hand-side beams. Furthermore, it could confirm that there was a concentrated load where the side beam and the crossbeam meet, owing to a mismatch during the assembly of the composite bogie frame.
