Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) have represented the most-applied fiber-optic sensor technologies for many decades. Their technological maturity, versatility, and reliability have been fundamental for their widespread use in many different engineering applications, including in mechanical, geotechnical, and biomedical fields, to mention a few.
This Special Issue broadly focuses on the engineering applications of FBG sensing technologies. Both regular and review papers will be considered, and the topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • FBG-based mechanical and physical sensors;
  • FBG-based biomedical, chemical, and environmental sensors;
  • FBG sensing systems in field applications;
  • Applications of FBG technologies in engineering fields, such as structural health monitoring, shape sensing, smart industry, smart surgery, automation, composite materials, and acoustics.

Li-ion batteries are expected to become the mainstream devices for green energy storage or power supply in the future due to their advantages of high energy and power density and long cycle life. Monitoring the temperature and strain change characteristics of Li-ion batteries during operation is conducive to judging their safety performance. The hinged differential lever sensitization structure was used for strain sensitization in the design of an FBG sensor, which also allowed the simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature. The temperature and strain variation characteristics on the surface of a Li-ion soft-packed battery were measured using the des.igned sensor. This report found that the charging and discharging processes of Li-ion batteries are both exothermic processes, and exothermic heat release is greater when discharging than when charging. The strain on the surface of Li-ion batteries depends on electrochemical changes and thermal expansion effects during the charge and discharge processes. The charging process showed an increasing strain, and the discharging process showed a decreasing strain. Thermal expansion was found to be the primary cause of strain at high rates. Full article
