The user can monitor a specified sound\, ascertain its spectral content with respect to time\, f requency\, or amplitude\, or view its location on a map. The system can be installed anywhere an optical fiber can be run- along other cables\, in b uildings\, cable raceways\, pipes tunnels\, etc. and can be used to identi fy events based on the type of sound emitted. This would be particularly u seful for utilities monitoring structures for indicators of impending faul ts.\n\nThe distributed fiber sensors use the entire length of optical fibe r to monitor acoustic signals (10Hz to 30kHz\, 3-m spatial resolution\, 50 -pico-strain sensitivity) along the entire fiber length. It also monitors temperature\, strain\, and load (force) with different fiber packaging.\n\ nThe distributed fiber sensor is fully integrated with the UAV and online GIS system.\n\nWe will discuss the application of fiber sensors for infras tructure monitoring and energy system (electricity\, oil\, gas\, renewable ). The meeting begins with a light dinner\, then a presentation\, and then a demonstration of the system in operation.\n\nSpeaker(s): Professor Kevi n Chen\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:30 pm Light Dinner\n\n7:00 pm Presentation\n\n8:0 0 pm Demonstration\n\nRoom: TBD\, Bldg: Benedum Hall Engineering Building (EE)\, University of Pittsburgh\, 3700 O'Hara Street\, Pittsburgh\, Pennsy lvania\, United States\, 15213 LOCATION:Room: TBD\, Bldg: Benedum Hall Engineering Building (EE)\, Univers ity of Pittsburgh\, 3700 O'Hara Street\, Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, Unite d States\, 15213 ORGANIZER:jsm23@arl.psu.edu SEQUENCE:26 SUMMARY:Optical Fiber based Acoustic Sensor System for Utilities Monitoring URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/447511 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal">Professor Chen will pres ent the results of developing an optical fiber-based acoustic sensor syste m and perform a live demonstration on the laser reel-to-reel fabrication o f fiber sensors.
