A novel method to investigate and optimize the sealing process of EPAs, based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor, is proposed in this research. An FBG was well bonded with sealing glass to measure the parameters of the glass during the sealing process. The temperature change during the heating process was able to be measured by Bragg wavelength shift. After the sealing glass solidified and dropped to room temperature, the residual stress was determined and the effect of temperature was minimized because the temperature before and after the sealing process was the same as room temperature. The curing temperature of the sealing glass was evaluated to specifically investigate the solidification process of the EPA. This study provides a basis for online stress and temperature monitoring of EPAs under external loads in nuclear power plants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19010018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,21]],"date-time":"2018-12-21T09:24:11Z","timestamp":1545384251000},"page":"18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Analysis of Residual Stress in Electrical Penetration Assembly Based on a Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9492-8293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhichun","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Key Laboratory of Advanced Reactor Engineering and Safety of Ministry of Education, Collaborative Innovation Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xingzhong","family":"Diao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Key Laboratory of Advanced Reactor Engineering and Safety of Ministry of Education, Collaborative Innovation Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Beijing Key Laboratory of Fine Ceramics, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Key Laboratory of Advanced Reactor Engineering and Safety of Ministry of Education, Collaborative Innovation Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Key Laboratory of Advanced Reactor Engineering and Safety of Ministry of Education, Collaborative Innovation Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhiyong","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Key Laboratory of Advanced Reactor Engineering and Safety of Ministry of Education, Collaborative Innovation Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"He","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Key Laboratory of Advanced Reactor Engineering and Safety of Ministry of Education, Collaborative Innovation Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1813","DOI":"10.1016\/j.matdes.2009.11.012","article-title":"The analysis of residual stress in glass-to-metal seals for solar receiver tube","volume":"31","author":"Lei","year":"2010","journal-title":"Mater.
