First, the strain on the WTB surface is detected with an FBG. Then, the signal is decomposed into a series of components via variational mode decomposition (VMD), and some signals with impact characteristics are chosen for reconstruction. The instant energy of the reconstructed signal is then amplified through the Teager energy operator (TEO) to identify the time difference between FBGs. Finally, the coordinate of the impact point is obtained by solving the hyperbolic mode with the time difference. The results of experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach exhibits good performance with high accuracy (97%) and low error (12.3 mm).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21010232","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,1]],"date-time":"2021-01-01T22:35:48Z","timestamp":1609540548000},"page":"232","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Location Determination of Impact on the Wind Turbine Blade Surface Based on the FBG and the Time Difference"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Bingkai","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830047, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenlei","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830047, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongwei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830047, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yunfa","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830047, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tiantian","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830047, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"106445.1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymssp.2019.106445","article-title":"Damage detection techniques for wind turbine blades: A review","volume":"141","author":"Du","year":"2020","journal-title":"Mech.
