Abstract:
A method and a device for analyzing a structure by tomography and diffuse acousto-elastic field correlation are provided. An optical fiber comprising a plurality of measurement points of FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) type, comprising sensors of Bragg grating type, is deployed in or on the structure to be analyzed. The method comprises the emission of light, into the optical fiber, and the measurement by correlation for each pair of FBG sensors. In a development, a prior imaging of the structure is performed by reconstruction of the velocities of propagation. Other developments comprise: the determination of the positions of the FBG sensors, the calibration of the tomography, the rosette configuration of the sensors forming the measurement points, the use of a plurality of optical fibers, of multiplexers, of lasers, of optical circulators, of omnidirectional optical sensors, of active noise sources, such as piezoelectric transducers, incorporated or not in the structure.
