Research on Three-Dimensional Stress Monitoring Method of Surrounding Rock Based on FBG Sensing Technology

Research on the stress state of rock mass is essential for revealing the distribution characteristics and evolution law of the surrounding rock stress field in the roadway, studying the coal-rock dynamic disaster and the design of roadway support. This thesis proposes a three-dimensional stress monitoring method for surrounding rocks based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology and a cube-shaped three-dimensional stress fiber grating sensor is developed based on the principle of this monitoring method. According to the fiber grating strain obtained by numerical simulation, the calculated three-dimensional stress value is basically consistent with the theoretical value. The margin of error was plus or minus one percentage point. The sensing performance of the sensor was tested using a uniaxial compression experiment instead of a triaxial compression experiment. The experimental results show that in the range of 0-50 Mpa, the sensor's sensitivity to X, Y and Z axis stress is 25.51, 25.97 and 24.86 pm/Mpa, respectively. The relative error of measured stress is less than 4%. Meanwhile, the sensor has good linearity and repeatability, and has broad application prospects in the field of underground engineering safety monitoring such as in coal mines and tunnels.
