FBG_SiMul V1.0 is a read more tool to study and design the implementation of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors solutions in any arbitrary loaded structure or application.The software removes the need for a fibre optic expert user and makes the sensor response of a structural health monitoring solution using FBG sensors more simple and fast.
The software uses a modified T-Matrix method to simulate the FBG reflected emtek 2113 spectrum based on the stress and strain from a finite element method model.The article describes the theory and algorithm implementation, followed by an empirical validation.Keywords: Fibre Bragg grating, FBG output simulation, FBG sensing solution design, FBG implementation, FBG optimization.
