A mathematical model is developed for a piezoelectroluminescent optical fiber pressure sensor is developed in which the mechanoluminescence effect results from the interaction of electroluminescent and piezoelectric coverings put on an optical fiber. The additional control electrodes expand the possibilities of analyzing the distribution of pressure along the fiber. The probability density function of pressure distribution along the sensor is found from results of the measured intensity of light coming from the optical fiber. The problem is reduced to the solution of the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind with a difference kernel depending on the effective parameters of the sensor and properties of an electroluminophor. An algorithm of step-by-step scanning of the nonuniform pressure along the sensor by using the running wave of control voltage is developed. On each step, the amplitude of the wave is increased by a small value, which leads to the appearance of additional luminescence sections of the electroluminophor and the corresponding “glow pulses” at the output of the optical fiber sensor. The sought-for nodal values of pressure and their locations are calculated according to the form of the glow pulses with account of amplitude of the wave at each scanning step. Results of numerical modeling of the process of location of pressure nonuniformities along the sensor by the running wave are found for different scanning steps.
