  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a novel methodology of real time dynamic tilt monitoring through the designed and developed Fiber Bragg Grating Tilt Meter (FBGTM). Based on the volumetric water pressure exerted from inside the chamber on the diaphragm over which the FBG sensor is bonded, the tilt angle of FBGTM can be estimated. An inclination platform is constructed to test the designed FBGTM in conjunction with a commercial inclinometer. The results obtained from both sensor methodologies are in good agreement with each other.
