Abstract:

A fully distributed multi-parameter acoustic sensing technology is proposed. Current fully distributed sensing techniques are exclusively based on intrinsic scatterings in optical fibers. They demonstrate long sensing span, but their limited applicable parameters (temperature and strain) and costly interrogation systems have prevented their widespread applications. A novel concept of acoustic fiber Bragg grating (AFBG) is conceived with inspiration from optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG). This AFBG structure exploits periodic spatial perturbations on an elongated waveguide to sense variations

Abstract:

The thesis is focused on the evaluation of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technique applied to seismic imaging and monitoring of CO2 geosequestration. It utilises the data acquired at the CO2CRC Otway site (Victoria) and the National Geosequestration Laboratory (Western Australia) to explore capabilities of the sensing technique, optimise data acquisition and processing, and compare it to other seismic sensors. Surface and downhole acquisition geometries and a range of fibre optic cables and deployment techniques were considered.

Abstract:

Distributed optical fiber sensing is a thriving research field that is finding practical applications in a variety of different fields including processes at extreme temperatures, security and civil engineering. The monitoring of dynamic perturbations, usually defined in the literature as distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), can be realized with excellent performance exploiting Rayleigh backscattering both in time and frequency domain. Devices implementing Rayleigh-based DAS are already commercially available. In this thesis the results of my three-year research are presented, reporting the

Abstract:

<p> Fiber optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is based on the principles of Coherent Rayleigh Optical Time Domain Reflectometry, where light pulses are fired through an optical fiber, and photon backscatter is measured with an optical sensor. Strain in the fiber causes changes in the amplitude and phase of backscattered light. Using light’s two-way travel time, the optical sensor measures strain at distributed points along the length of fiber. In this work, DAS was adapted to establish hydraulic connectivity in bedrock by measuring hydromechanical strain in an observation well, as p

Abstract:

The use of distributed optical fibre smart sensors for the detection of acoustic signals in the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of robust aerospace vehicles has been demonstrated. Current distributed optical fibre sensors are multiplexed along a single fibre. Inherent problems exist with a multiplexed architecture. Two significant issues are; the possibility of fibre breakage, and the possibility of failure of the single transmitter, the single receiver, or the single processor. In a ‘smart’ architecture, the intelligence, as well as the sensors, is distributed. Hence, if destructive damage

Distributed sensing is highly desirable in a wide range of civil, industrial and military applications. The current technologies for distributed sensing are mainly based on the detection of optical signals resulted from different elastic or non-elastic light-matter interactions including Rayleigh, Raman and Brillouin scattering. However, they can measure temperature or strain only to date. Therefore, there is a need for technologies that can further expand measurement parameters even to chemical and biological stimuli to fulfill different application needs. <br />This dissertation presents a f

This thesis considers the application of changepoint detection methodology for the analysis of acoustic sensing signals. In the first part, we propose a detection procedure for changes in the second-order structure of a univariate time series. This utilises a penalised likelihood based on Whittle’s approximation and allows for a non-linear penalty function. This procedure is subsequently used to detect changes in acoustic sensing data which correspond to external disturbances of the measuring cable. The second part shifts focus to multivariate time series, and considers the detection of change

Compressed sensing (CS) is a recently invented sub-sampling technique that utilizes sparsity in full signals. Most natural signals possess this sparsity property. From a sub-sampled vector, some CS reconstruction algorithm is used to recover the full signal.

Meanwhile, in sensor networks, sensor nodes monitor natural data for estimation or detection. One application of sensor networking is in cognitive radio networks, where sensor no

Active control of sound radiation from vibrating structures has been an area of much research in the past decade. In Active Structural Acoustic Control (ASAC), the minimization of sound radiation is achieved by modifying the response of the structure through structural inputs rather than by exciting the acoustic medium (Active Noise Control, ANC). The ASAC technique often produces global far-field sound attenuation with relatively few actuators as compared to ANC. The structural control inputs of ASAC systems are usually constructed adaptively in the time domain based on a number of error sign

Distributed Compressive Sensing (DCS) studies the recovery of jointly sparse signals. Compared to separate recovery, the joint recovery algorithms in DCS are usually more effective as they make use of the joint sparsity. In this thesis, we study a weighted ℓ₁-minimization algorithm for the joint sparsity model JSM-1 proposed by Baron et al. Our analysis gives a sufficient null space property for the joint sparse recovery. Furthermore, this property can be extended to stable and robust settings. We also presents some numerical experiments for this algorithm.<br>Science, Faculty of<br>Mathematic

Abstract:

From the monitoring of deep ocean conditions to the imaging and exploration of the vast universe, optical sensors are playing a unique, critical role in all areas of scientific research. Optical fiber sensors, in particular, are not only widely used in daily life such as for medical inspection, structural health monitoring, and environmental surveillance, but also in high-tech, high-security applications such as missile guidance or monitoring of aircraft engines and structures. Measurements of physical parameters are required in harsh environments including high pressure, high temperature, hig

Abstract:

Automatic acoustic scene analysis is a complex task that involves several functionalities: detection (time), localization (space), separation, recognition, etc. This thesis focuses on both acoustic event detection (AED) and acoustic source localization (ASL), when several sources may be simultaneously present in a room. In particular, the experimentation work is carried out with a meeting-room scenario. Unlike previous works that either employed models of all possible sound combinations or additionally used video signals, in this thesis, the time overlapping sound problem is tackled by exploit

Abstract:

Networked, multi-sensor array systems have proven to be advantageous in the sensor world. A large amount of research has been conducted with these systems, with a main interest in data fusion. Intelligently processing the large amounts of data collected by these systems is required in order to fully utilize the benefits of a multi-sensor array system. A robust but flexible simulation environment would provide a platform for accurately comparing current and future data fusion theories. This thesis proposes a simulator model for testing fusion theories for these acoustic multi-sensor networks.

Abstract:

Brillouin scattering has been verified to be an effective mechanism in temperature and strain sensing. This kind of sensors can be applied to civil structural monitoring of pipelines, railroads, and other industries for disaster prevention. This thesis first presents a novel fiber sensing scheme for long-span fully-distributed pressure measurement based on Brillouin scattering in a side-hole fiber. After that, it demonstrates that Brillouin frequency keeps linear relation with temperature up to 1000°C; Brillouin scattering is a promising mechanism in high temperature distributed sensing. A sid
