摘要
Fiber Bragg grating(FBG) strain sensors have unique advantages over traditional strain sensors, including superior durability, electromagnetic resistance, and quasi-distributed sensing capability, therefore they are especially suitable for structural health monitoring.However, due to the strain-temperature cross-sensitivity effect, FBG sensors have a limited accuracy.To solve this problem, this study is carried out in two aspects.Firstly, the correction coefficient of temperature grating is proposed to improve the temperature compensation system of FBG, and the calibrations of two different types of FBG strain sensors through laboratory tests verify the feasibility of this method.Secondly, in order to separate the load strain and the thermal strain effectively, the theoretical formula of strain separation is deduced, and a "correlation coefficient" method is proposed to determine the correction coefficient of temperature effect in the theoretical formula.This method is applied to analyze the strain monitoring data in a building reconstruction project in Shenzhen, China.The results show that the load strain and thermal strain can be effectively separated by using this method.It is found that the thermal strain increased with the increase of external temperature during the monitoring period, while the load strain fluctuated only within a certain range.Finally, the validity of strain separation results is analyzed.This method will provide an important basis for accurate extraction, analysis and prediction of FBG strain data. © 2020, The Editorial Board of Journal of Basic Science and Engineering.
