Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We propose a temperature-insensitive two-dimensional (2-D) tilt sensor based on a cylindrical pendulum and Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs). Three FBGs are fixed on the cantilever beam structure, and the included angle between them is 120°. The central wavelength of the FBG reflection spectrum drifts under pressure, and the inclination angle can be measured by monitoring the drift. The relationship between the stress and the deformation of the tilt sensor is obtained by finite element simulation, then the optical fiber tilt sensor is calibrated and tested. The experimental results show that the tilt sensitivity of the three FBGs of the sensor is 19.83 pm/°, 20.26 pm/°, and 20.04 pm/°, respectively. The temperature sensitivity is 35.8 pm/°C, 36.79 pm/°C, and 36.24 pm/°C, respectively. The measurement error is ± 0.2° within the range of ± 15° of deflection angle, and ± 0.55° within the range of 0°–360° of direction angle. And the sensor is inherently insensitive to temperature. This tilt sensor has the advantages of simple structure, small transmission loss, self-compensation of temperature, and long-distance transmission, and has broad application prospects.
