Abstract

Abstract: The progress of material technology makes the structural deformation of composites more complex and more difficult to monitor. The distributed optical fiber sensor has a wide monitoring range and can continuously obtain the strain data of the structure in space for structural deformation reconstruction. In this paper, the optical frequency domain reflectometer (OFDR) and distributed optical fiber sensor are used as measurement tools to design the deformation reconstruction experiment of a cantilever beam with constant cross section. Based on the Ko theory, the strain signals collected by the distributed optical fiber sensors are converted into displacement signals, and the deformation reconstruction of the cantilever beam is carried out, and then compared and analyzed with the actual measured values. The experiment verifies the effectiveness of using distributed fiber optic sensors for cantilever beam bending deformation based on Ko theory, which provides a favorable reference for structural health monitoring.
