Hybrid systems: point sensors and DFOS fibre-optic measurements
Point sensors show what is happening to a structure over time. DFOS fibre optics show exactly where. We explain how to combine both techniques into a hybrid system, when it pays off, how the DFOS session trigger works, and where this approach ends.
- Two questions that one sensor type cannot answer
- Point sensors: automation and early warning
- DFOS: geometrically continuous measurement and crack detection
- How to combine them: division of roles and trigger
- Five arguments for a hybrid system
- Which assets
- Examples described in the literature
- Limitations we discuss at the first meeting
