Abstract
(DE)
Ein Verfahren zur Dehnungsmessung an einer Sensorfaser umfaß die Schritte: (a) Bereitstellen mindestens einer Sensorfaser, die an n vorbestimmten Positionen (zr) jeweils eine Reflektionsstelle aufweist, wobei n ≥ 1 ist; (b) Bereitstellen einer Referenzübertragungsfunktion (H0, Hr) der Sensorfaser, wobei die Referenzübertragungsfunktion (H0, Hr) in einem vorbestimmten Ausgangszustand der Sensorfaser ermittelt wurde; (c) Durchführen von m ≥ n optischen Frequenzbereichsreflektometrie-Messungen bei m voneinander verschiedenen Meßfrequenzen (fk) zur Ermittlung von m Meßübertragungsfunktionen (Mk); (d) Ermitteln einer örtlichen Verschiebung (Δzr) mindestens einer Reflektionsstelle anhand der Referenzübertragungsfunktion (H0, Hr) und der Meßübertragungsfunktionen (Mk); und (e) Ermitteln der Dehnung eines zu der mindestens einen Reflektionsstelle benachbarten Abschnitts der Sensorfaser anhand der ermittelten örtlichen Verschiebung (Δzr) der Reflektionsstelle.
(EN)
The invention relates to a method for measuring elongation on a sensor fiber, comprising the steps: (a) providing at least one sensor fiber having a reflection point each at n predetermined positions (zr), where n ≥ 1; (b) providing a reference transmission function (H0, Hr) of the sensor fiber, wherein the reference transmission function (H0, Hr) was determined in a predetermined initial state of the sensor fiber; (c) performing of m ≥ n optical frequency range reflectometry measurements at m measurement frequencies (fk) which differ from each other to determine m measurement transmission functions (Mk); (d) determining a local shift (Δzr) of at least one reflection point on the basis of the reference transmission function (H0, Hr) and the measurement transmission functions (Mk); and (e) determining the elongation of a section of the sensor fiber adjacent to the at least one reflection point on the basis of the determined local shift (Δzr) of the reflection point.
