The design of the optical fiber sensor system is used to detect the steel ball surface roughness and defects with displacement change such as cracks, pits, bumps and so on. Experiment results show that the sensor can distinguish between surfaces with different roughness. By establishment of the equivalent evaluation standard for surface quality, the system could detect whether the steel ball surface quality is qualified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
