A Structural Health Monitoring System for Storage Tanks by Using Fiber Optic Sensor

Storage tanks are always under different hazards such as corrosion and leaking. In this paper new method of monitoring on storage tanks is performed. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is used to monitor corrosion in bottom plate of storage tanks. Ansys software is used to simulate corrosion on bottom plate and its effect on fiber Bragg grating.Optiwave software is used to obtain sensor response to applied load. It can be seen that by using FBG any corrosion in the form of pitting can be detected.
