Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) are common rotation measurement devices in aerospace applications. They have a wide range of diversity in length and winding radius of coils to meet the system requirements. Every dimensional parameter in the coil influences the dynamic response of the system, which eventually leads to measurement errors. In order to eliminate the errors and qualify the system, after the design and production stages, a deep and comprehensive testing procedure follows. In this study, the dynamic behavior of a quadrupole winded fiber optic coil is investigated. Firstly, a set of fiber optic coils are tested with an impact modal test, where mode shapes and natural frequencies are determined with structural data acquisition. For the modal analysis, a finite element (FE) model is developed where a representative volume element (RVE) analysis is also included to consider the influence of the microstructure properly. The experimental and numerical results are compared and validated. Moreover, an estimation model is proposed for a type of coil with different fiber length. Finally, the latter coil set is produced and tested employing the same methodology in order to illustrate the capacity of the developed framework.

Experimental Analysis and Multiscale Modeling of the Dynamics of a Fiber-Optic Coil Kahveci, Oezkan; Gencoglu, Caner; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2022-01-01) Fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOGs) are common rotation measurement devices in aerospace applications. They have a wide range of diversity in length and in the winding radius of the coil to meet system requirements. Every dimensional parameter in the coil influences the dynamic response of the system, eventually leading to measurement errors. In order to eliminate the errors and to qualify the system, after the design and production stages, a deep and comprehensive testing procedure follows. In this study, the dy...
Asymptotic solution of the radial wave equation for optical fiber wavequides Cildlr, Sema; Çakır, Serhat (2006-08-26) In this study, analytic solutions were studied for propagation of electromagnetic waves in cylindrical fiber optic cable. An asymptotic approach was used to solve radial wave equation The solution was derived for zero order eigenvalue equation. It was found that this solution is more general than other methods. By using a computer program was obtained some diagrams for core and cladding region for different eigenvalue equations and modes.
Estimation of Deterministic and Stochastic IMU Error Parameters Unsal, Derya; Demirbaş, Kerim (2012-04-26) Inertial Measurement Units, the main component of a navigation system, are used in several systems today. IMU's main components, gyroscopes and accelerometers, can be produced at a lower cost and higher quantity. Together with the decrease in the production cost of sensors it is observed that the performances of these sensors are getting worse. In order to improve the performance of an IMU, the error compensation algorithms came into question and several algorithms have been designed. Inertial sensors conta...
Design and development of fiber optic MEMS microphone measurement system Karaca, Ekin Muharrem; Bayram, Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis, fiber optic MEMS microphone measurement system is designed and demonstrated. The displacement of the sensing element of the fiber optic microphone, the membrane, together with the optical components are 3-D modeled and simulated by means of finite element methods. The parameters of the optical system under different measurement conditions are optimized according to the simulation results. Based on the simulation results, the measurement system setup is designed, constructed and functionalize...
Dynamic stress concentrations around a single fiber break in unidirectional composites: a 3D finite element analysis Mutlu, Çağlar; SABUNCUOĞLU, BARIŞ; Kadioglu, F Suat; Swolfs, Yentl (2023-01-01) When a fiber break occurs in longitudinal tension of a unidirectional composite, dynamic stress concentrations arise, which can be different from the ones found considering only static loading. The current paper analyzes the dynamic stress concentration factors (SCF) around a fiber break in unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy composites. 3D finite element models with random and hexagonal fiber distributions were analyzed to investigate the evolution of stress concentrations as a function of time and position....
