Three dimensional in-situ stress sensor based on optical fiber sensing technology

Abstract. The observation and estimation of the deep crustal stress state is a key and difficult problem for in situ stress measurement. Using a borehole wall strain gauge based on the overcoring stress-relieving method is one of the main methods of in situ stress measurement. In this paper, a strain-sensing array based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is designed by using the main structure of the classical hollow inclusion cell, and its layout scheme on the hollow inclusion is studied. According to the layout scheme, the in situ stress inversion algorithm of hole wall strain to stress is deduced. Following this, the triaxial loading and unloading experiment platform is built, and the calibration experiment for the FBG strain sensor is designed. Finally, Abaqus finite element software is used to simulate the in situ stress measurement process of the overcoring stress relief. The FBG strain values of each measurement direction before and after the overcoring process are extracted, and the stress inversion equation is used to carry out the stress inversion. The comparison of the inversion results proved that the FBG strain sensor group is feasible and reliable. The quasi-distributed FBG sensor module designed in this paper can invert the three-dimensional in situ stress by measuring the hole wall strain, which places a theoretical and experimental foundation for the development and application of an FBG hole wall strain gauge. It makes up for the deficiency of the existing hole wall strain gauge based on a resistance strain gauge, provides direct and accurate observations for hole wall strain measurement, and has important practical value for the development of in situ stress measurement technology.
