Как считается эта оценка

Складывается из проверяемых признаков самой записи: есть ли у статьи DOI, сколько независимых источников подтвердили её данные, заполнены ли обязательные поля и насколько свежо последнее подтверждение. Снижают оценку расхождения между источниками и отсутствие идентификатора. Значение от 80 означает, что запись опубликована без дополнительной проверки; от 60 до 79 — что она опубликована с пониженной достоверностью и ручная проверка желательна. Запись, выверенную редактором вручную, пересчёт не опускает ниже 90. Это оценка наших данных о статье, а не оценка самой статьи.

Аннотация

The increasing complexity and extended operational lifetimes of modern space infrastructure have significantly intensified the demand for reliable structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. However, the extreme space environment, characterized by radiation exposure, microgravity, ultra-high vacuum, and severe thermal cycling, imposes critical limitations on conventional electrical sensing technologies, leading to reduced measurement accuracy, instability, and long-term degradation. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based sensing technologies as a promising solution for deformation monitoring in space infrastructure. The study investigates the fundamental operating principles of FBG sensors under space conditions and systematically classifies existing FBG-based SHM architectures, including point-based, multiplexed, long-distance, and hybrid sensing systems. Furthermore, the advantages of FBG sensors—such as immunity to electromagnetic interference, passive operation, and high-resolution multipoint sensing—are critically evaluated in comparison with traditional electrical sensors. In addition, key challenges affecting the performance of FBG systems in space environments are analyzed, including radiation-induced wavelength drift, temperature–strain cross-sensitivity, signal attenuation, and long-term stability issues. The paper also highlights recent advances in interrogation techniques and network architectures that enable reliable in situ and real-time deformation monitoring of space structures. The results demonstrate that FBG-based sensing systems provide a scalable and robust framework for SHM in extreme environments while also revealing existing limitations and open research challenges. This work establishes a structured foundation for the development of next-generation intelligent monitoring systems for space infrastructure.
