Strain and displacement measurement based on distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) system integrated with FRP composite sandwich panel

An increase in application of advanced materials and high-tech monitoring systems is being observed in bridge engineering in recent years. The main goal is aimed at optimizing maintenance costs spent during entire lifecycle of a bridge. The paper describes the concept of the smart fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich deck panel, dedicated for newly-designed and renovated bridges. This panel is equipped with the distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) system, integrated with composite laminates. The DFOS system is provided to control strain and displacement measurement, further used in the structural health monitoring of a bridge. The DFOS system is characterized by the following features: accurate, reliable and distributed strain measurements, possibility of assessing shape and displacements, detection of local damages, reliable protection of the sensors, no need for surface installations, high durability, measurements from the real zero state of the structural element. Exemplary results of distributed fibre optic strain and displacement measurements performed under laboratory conditions on laminate specimens as well as the beam cut from the prototype panels are presented and compared to conventional measurements and FEM predictions.

ICE-Derived Left Atrial and Left Ventricular Endocardial and Myocardial Speckle Tracking Strain Patterns in Atrial Fibrillation at the Time of Radiofrequency Ablation.

Intracardiac echocardiography(ICE) has excellent imaging resolution and border recognition which increase strain measurement accuracy. We hypothesized that left atrial(LA) substrate and functional impairment can be detected by measuring LA strain deformation in patients with persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(AF), as compared to those with no AF. Strain deformation changes in LA and left ventricle(LV) can also be assessed post-ablation to determine its effect. ICE-derived speckle tracking strain(STS) was prospectively performed in 96 patients, including 62 patients with AF(31 persistent and 31 paroxysmal AF) pre-/post-ablation, and 34 patients with no AF. We measured major strain parameters including longitudinal segmental(endo/myocardial) "average peak overall strain of all segments"(PkAll), peak strain rate(SR),and different time-to-peak strain in LA and LV images. At baseline, persistent AF patients had significantly lower(p<0.01) LA endocardial(4.3±2.5 vs. 20.3±8.9 and 25.5±12.9 %) and myocardial PkAll(4.4±2.6 vs. 15.7±7.2 and 20.9±9.2 %), endocardial(0.9±0.4 vs. 1.8±0.7 and 2.2±0.6 1/s) and myocardial peak SR(0.7±0.4 vs. 1.5±0.6 and 1.9±0.5 1/s), as compared to paroxysmal AF and no AF patients. After successful ablation, endo-/myocardial LA PkAll and peak SR were significantly improved, most dramatically in patients with persistent AF. LV endocardial/myocardial strain and SR also improved in AF patients post-ablation. LA longitudinal strain(%)/SR(1/s) parameters in AF patients are more abnormal than those with no AF, suggesting LA substrate/functional damage. AF ablation improved LA strains/SR but with values in paroxysmal > persistent AF suggesting background LA damage in persistent AF.

Advanced self-compensated, high-accuracy optical extensometer based on field-of-view splitting and dual-reflector imaging techniques

Optical extensometers realized using a telecentric lens and field-of-view (FOV) splitting technique can achieve a high strain measurement accuracy. However, the telecentric lens has some disadvantages such as high cost, fixed FOV, and fixed working distance. In this study, we have developed an advanced optical extensometer using a low-cost imaging lens and FOV splitting device. Dual-reflector imaging technique is implemented in the proposed optical extensometer to reduce the strain errors induced by out-of-plane motion. With the FOV splitting device, the proposed extensometer exhibits a gauge length of 4659 pixels, while the initial gauge length is only 1700 pixels. The effectiveness of this extensometer is verified by static and tensile tests. The experimental results indicate that the values of axial strain obtained using the proposed extensometer in uniaxial tensile tests are in excellent agreement with those obtained using a strain gauge, and the standard deviation of corresponding strain errors is 4.6 microstrain, which validates the high accuracy of the extensometer.

Inter-vendor variability in strain measurements depends on software rather than image characteristics.

Despite standardization efforts, vendors still use specific proprietary software algorithms for echocardiographic strain measurements, which result in high inter-vendor variability. Using vendor-independent software could be one solution. Little is known, however, how vendor specific image characteristics can influence tracking results of such software. We therefore investigated the reproducibility, accuracy, and scar detection ability of strain measurements on images from different vendors by using a vendor-independent software. A vendor-independent software (TomTec Image Arena) was used to analyse datasets of 63 patients which were obtained on machines from four different ultrasound machine vendors (GE, Philips, Siemens, Toshiba). We measured the tracking feasibility, inter-vendor bias, the relative test-re-test variability and scar discrimination ability of strain measurements. Cardiac magnetic resonance delayed enhancement images were used as the reference standard of scar definition. Tracking feasibility on vendor datasets were significantly different (p < 0.001). Variability of global longitudinal strain (GLS) measurements was similar among the vendors whereas variability of segmental longitudinal strain (SLS) showed modest difference. Relative test-re-test variability of GLS and SLS showed no relevant differences. No significant difference in scar detection capability was observed. Average GLS and SLS values were similar among vendors. Reproducibility of GLS measurements showed no difference among vendors and was in acceptable range. SLS reproducibility was high but similar for all vendors. No relevant difference was found for identifying regional dysfunction. Tracking feasibility showed a substantial difference among images from different vendors. Our findings demonstrate that tracking results depend mainly on the software used and show little influence from vendor specific image characteristics.

Optical characterization of strain sensing cables for Brillouin optical time domain analysis

Two innovative optical fibre cable layouts designed to improve BOTDA strain measurement accuracy through improved strain transfer efficiency are presented, discussed and tested through experiments, analytical and numerical modelling. The second improved design presents good features to minimize the mismatch between measured and actual strain.

Accuracy and sensibility analysis of strain measurement based on microimages captured by smartphone with a microscope

Strain measurement is an essential part of structural health monitoring (SHM). The objective of the study is to propose a new method to measure strain on the surface of a structure. The speeded-up robust feature (SURF) method was applied to detect and trace feature points in microimages that were obtained using a smartphone with a compact microscope. Subsequently, the average displacement of feature points in microimages was calculated before and after deformation. Finally, the average strain of a certain distance in the structure surface was obtained. An experiment was performed to measure the average strain in an optical fiber of certain length and compare the data with that measured by the fiber Bragg granting (FBG) to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. Additionally, a water drop loading experiment was performed on the optical fiber to test the sensitivity of the proposed method. The results indicated that the strain measured by the smartphone with a compact microscope was in agreement with the FBG data. The error analysis illustrates the maximum error of the data measured by the two methods is 6με, and this can satisfy the requirements of civil engineering. The result of the water drop experiment reveals that the entire process of loading via water drops can be measured by the proposed method, and strain increases with the drops of water. The experimental results verify that the feasibility of the proposed method can satisfy the needs of structural health monitoring for general buildings.

Accurate measurement of strain at interfaces in 4D-STEM: A comparison of various methods

Strain analysis by nano-beam electron diffraction allows for measurements of strain with nanometre resolution in a large field of view. This is done by evaluating distances between diffraction discs in diffraction patterns acquired while a focussed electron beam is scanned across the sample in a transmission electron microscope. The bottleneck of this method is a precise determination of diffraction disc positions, which suffers from the inner structure of the discs caused by dynamical diffraction. Electron beam precession is a tool that solves this problem but it is not commonly available in every microscope. Without precession significant progress has been reported recently by using patterned condenser apertures. The pattern of the aperture is reproduced in patterns of the diffraction discs allowing for a more precise position determination. In this report the accuracy of measured strain profiles using patterned apertures is investigated by evaluation of realistic simulations. This is done especially at interfaces between regions with different lattice plane spacing. It is found by evaluation of the simulations that measured strain profiles are more blurred and hence the accuracy at the interface is worse the more patterns are imprinted to the condenser aperture. An explanation of this effect is given and as a proof of principle a solution to this problem is provided applying geometric phase analysis ptychography.

Fast Acquirable Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry Based on Bipolar-Chirped Pulse Pair

In this article, fast measurement of Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry (BOTDR) based on a linearly frequency modulated (LFM) pulse and a digital matched filter is studied theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. The Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) change is detected by measuring the time shift of the Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS) along the time axis instead of the frequency shift, as in traditional BOTDR. In the experiment, we propose to use a positive- and negative-swept pulse, named bipolar-chirped pulse pair (BPP), to determine the BFS change with high accuracy. A BGS acquisition of up to 320 Hz is obtained for a fiber length of 2 km with a strain measurement accuracy of ±8 ${\rm{\mu \varepsilon }}$ . Strain measurements in a range of up to 10000 ${\rm{\mu \varepsilon }}$ are conducted, and the resulting strain coefficient is equal to 0.048 MHz/ ${\rm{MHz}}/{\rm{\mu \varepsilon }}$ , which matches that of standard single-mode fibers. The BPP-BOTDR technique is an intrinsic one-end-injection truly distributed system that exhibits high measurement speed and high accuracy, which may pave the way for various BOTDR applications.

High-accuracy optical extensometer realized by two parallel cameras and two-dimensional digital image correlation.

A conventional optical extensometer realized by a single common camera and two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D-DIC) often provides unsatisfactory strain results owing to the out-of-plane motion of the specimen. In this work, we propose an improved optical extensometer based on two parallel cameras and 2D-DIC. In the proposed extensometer, the gauge points are selected at the image centers of two cameras, which are negligibly affected by the out-of-plane translation and rotation, leading to higher accuracy of strain measurement as compared with the conventional optical extensometer. A rigid out-of-plane translation experiment and four repeated uniaxial tensile tests were conducted to verify the feasibility, reliability, and accuracy of the proposed method. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method has a strong ability to resist the effect of out-of-plane motion and experimental vibrations. Moreover, the strain measurement results obtained with the proposed method were found to be in excellent agreement with those obtained with a strain gauge, and the strain errors between them were only a few microstrains. Given that no compensation method is required, the proposed method is easy to implement with 2D-DIC and can be used for specimens of different sizes by adjusting the distance between the two cameras.

A Review of Fine Blanking: Influence of Die Design and Process Parameters on Edge Quality

Conventional blanking is the single-stroke shearing of closed contour profiles. However, the blanked pieces have inherent errors like fractured cut surface and blank dishing necessitating further sizing and/or finishing operations. Fine blanking is a more precise version of the blanking operation with lesser errors such that post-forming steps required will be minimal. Thus, it is an ideal candidate for manufacturing precision machine components. This review paper starts with the introduction to the process. Then, studies aimed at the analysis of fine blanking tooling and process parameters and their effect on fine-blanked part characteristics are presented. Inferences from studies on the design of equipment for fine blanking, deformation mechanics involved and the fine blanking performance of different materials are also discussed. The use of finite element simulation studies to understand the process better has also been determined. Various reported strain measurement techniques are then discussed. The recent improvement in techniques like in situ digital image correlation enables accurate experimental measurement of strain in the shear zone which can be used to validate the findings from FE simulations. Fine blanking process modifications that aimed at cost reduction or improvement in product quality are summarized as well.

Evaluation of Strain-Shift Coefficients for SiSn by Raman Spectroscopy

1. Introduction Silicon tin (SiSn) is a new promising candidate material for next-generation optical devices since its energy band-gap is theoretically expected to a direct band-gap as Sn fraction increases [1, 2]. The lattice constant difference (strain states) between the substrate and the SiSn thin film directly affects a band-gap, a carrier mobility, and device design. Therefore, it is important to evaluate strain states in SiSn thin film and accurate strain evaluation techniques are indispensable.Raman spectroscopy is one of the powerful strain evaluation techniques because it is a high spatial resolution and nondestructive measurement. However, the strain shift coefficient of SiSn has not been experimentally investigated in contrast to silicon germanium, germanium tin, and highly accurate strain measurement cannot be performed by Raman spectroscopy. In this study, Raman measurement was performed to extract the strain-shift coefficient of SiSn thin films, accurately. 2. Experimental method SiSn thin films (Sn fraction: 0.50, 0.90, 1.8, 2.0, and 6.0%) were grown on (001)-Si substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. Their thickness was set to 50 nm. Sn fraction and in-plane biaxial strain were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD).The Si1-x Sn x thin films were evaluated by Raman spectroscopy. Excitation source of ultraviolet laser (λ = 355 nm) was used and focal length of the Raman spectrometer was 2,000 mm. Wavenumber resolution is approximately 0.1 cm-1. The Raman spectra of the Si1-x Sn x thin films for Si-Si vibration mode were measured to determine the strain-shift coefficient. 3. Results and Discussion Figure 1 shows Raman spectra of Si1-x Sn x with x of 0.06 and bulk Si (Si-Si mode) for comparison. As a result, asymmetrical broadening on the low-wavenumber side with slight peak shift in the Raman spectrum for the SiSn thin film were observed. In the Raman scattering, this broadening is often explained using the so-called spatial correlation model, which reproduces the relaxation of momentum conservation due to random atom positions.Figure 2 shows the relationship between Raman peak shift of SiSn for Si-Si mode (Δω LO) and in-plane strain estimated by reciprocal space mapping using XRD. In this study, D’Costa model (see below equation) was used to obtain strain-free Raman shift for Si-Si mode [3]: ω 0 = 520 – 141.8x. (1)It was revealed that the relationship between Raman peak shift of SiSn for Si-Si mode and in-plane strain has clear linear dependence. From the slope of the straight line which calculated by linear approximation as shown in Fig. 2, the value of the strain-shift coefficient b was found to be -732 cm-1. This value shows good agreement with that of strained Si [4] and SiGe [5]. On the basis of the result, it is suggested that the strain-shift coefficient b is not affected by random atom positions (alloy state), and the value of b may not change by composition and strain state.In conclusion, these insights play an important role in the strain evaluation for the next-generation SiSn device by Raman spectroscopy and in the understanding the relationship between phonon behavior and strain.

Self-compensation method for out-of-plane motion-induced strain error in 2D digital image correlation

Two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D-DIC) has the advantages of high computation efficiency and simple experimental setup compared to three-dimensional DIC (3D-DIC). However, 2D-DIC is sensitive to out-of-plane motion, which leads to rather poor strain results. Recently, optical extensometers realized by dual-reflector imaging have been proposed, which can self-compensate the strain errors introduced by out-of-plane motion of the specimen. We will extend strain measurement from an extensometer to full-field deformation measurement. To this end, first, two corresponding areas of interest (AOIs) are created based on the symmetrical axis of the reference image. Second, the displacement and strain fields of these AOIs are computed with a common 2D-DIC algorithm, respectively. Subsequently, high-accuracy deformation results are obtained by taking the average of the deformation of the corresponding calculation points in two AOIs. Two types of uniaxial tensile tests that correspond to uniform and nonuniform strain fields were conducted to validate the feasibility of the proposed self-compensation method. The first experiment indicates that the strain results obtained using the proposed method are in good agreement with those with strain gauges and that the proposed method can achieve higher strain accuracy than 3D-DIC with a small stereo-angle. The results of the second experiment are basically in agreement with those of the ANSYS numerical simulation, which demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed method for the measurement of nonuniform strain fields. Both of the experiments demonstrate that rigid out-of-plane motion will lead to a global strain field error for common 2D-DIC. With no external compensation device, the proposed self-compensation method has the potential in 2D-DIC for accurate strain measurement due to its high level of accuracy.

In-Situ Observations of Microscale Ductility in a Quasi-Brittle Bulk Scale Epoxy.

Fiber reinforced composite materials are typically comprised of two phases, i.e., the reinforcing fibers and a surrounding matrix. At a high volume fraction of reinforcing fibers, the matrix is confined to a microscale region in between the fibers (1–200 µm). Although these regions are interconnected, their behavior is likely dominated by their micro-scale. Nevertheless, the characterization of the matrix material (without reinforcing fibers) is usually performed on macroscopic bulk specimens and little is known about the micro-mechanical behavior of polymer matrix materials. Here, we show that the microscale behavior of an epoxy resin typically used in composite production is clearly different from its macroscale behavior. Microscale polymer specimens were produced by drawing microfibers from vitrifying epoxy resin. After curing, tensile tests were performed on a large set of pure epoxy microfiber specimens with diameters ranging from 30 to 400 µm. An extreme ductility was observed for microscale epoxy specimens, while bulk scale epoxy specimens showed brittle behavior. The microsized epoxy specimens had a plastic deformation behavior resulting in a substantially higher ultimate tensile strength (up to 380 MPa) and strain at break (up to 130 %) compared to their bulk counterpart (68 MPa and 8%). Polarized light microscopy confirmed a rearrangement of the internal epoxy network structure during loading, resulting in the plastic deformation of the microscale epoxy. This was further accompanied by in-situ electron microscopy to further determine the deformation behavior of the micro-specimens during tensile loading and make accurate strain measurements using video-extensometry. This work thus provides novel insights on the epoxy material behavior at the confined microscale as present in fiber reinforced composite materials.

Six-Dimensional Deformation Measurement of Distributed POS Based on FBG Sensors

Distributed Position and Orientation System (POS) is a key equipment which can precisely measure multi-node time-spatial motion information for the high-resolution imaging of novel airborne remote sensing systems. The deformation of the lever-arm with irregular cross-section will seriously affect the transfer alignment accuracy of distributed POS. The existing Ko method can measure the deformation of most lever-arms, but it is not applicable to the lever-arm with irregular cross-section and cannot measure the axial displacement which is an important parameter of distributed POS. In order to solve this problem, a six-dimensional deformation measurement method of distributed POS based on Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is proposed. Firstly, a strain decoupling approach is presented to improve the strain measurement accuracy of the lever-arm with irregular cross-section. Secondly, an axial displacement model is established to further realize six-dimensional deformation measurement. The high precision six-dimensional deformation can be used for transfer alignment to improve the motion information measurement accuracy of distributed POS. Experimental results show the proposed method can measure the six-dimensional deformation with a higher accuracy compared to the existing Ko method.

Development and validation of a device for in vitro uniaxial cell substrate deformation with real-time strain control

Substrate deformation affects the behaviour of many cell types, including bone, skeletal muscle and endothelial cells. Nowadays, in vitro tests are widely employed to study the mechanotransduction induced by substrate deformation. The aim of in vitro systems is to properly reproduce the mechanical stimuli sensed by the tissue in the cellular microenvironment. Accurate strain measurement and control is therefore necessary to ensure the cell senses the proper strain for the entire treatment. Different types of in vitro systems are commercially available or can be custom-designed; however, none of these devices performs a real-time measurement of the induced strains. In this study, we proposed a uniaxial strain device for in vitro cell stimulation with an innovative real-time strain control. The system was designed to induce sinusoidal waveform stimulation in a huge range of amplitude and frequency, to three silicone chambers stretched by a linear actuator. The real-time strain measurement and control algorithm is based on an optical tracking method implemented in LabVIEW 2015, and it is able to adapt the input amplitude to the linear motor, if necessary, hanging the stimulation signal for about 120 ms. Validation of the strain values measured during the real-time tracking algorithm was carried out through a comparison with the digital image correlation (DIC) technique. We investigated the influence of number of reference points and image size on the algorithm accuracy. Experimental results showed that the tracking algorithm allowed for a real-time measurement of membrane longitudinal strains with a relative error of 0.3%, on average, in comparison to the strains measured with DIC in post-processing analysis. We showed a high homogeneity of the strain pattern on the entire chamber base for different stimulation conditions. Finally, as proof of concept, we employed the uniaxial strain device to induce substrate deformation in a human osteosarcoma cell line (SaOS-2). The experimental results showed a consistent change in cell shape in response to the mechanical strain.

Flexural behaviour evaluation on foamed bitumen stabilised pavement beams using fibre optic sensors

ABSTRACT The paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of both distributed fibre optics sensors (DFOs), and fibre Bragg grating sensors (FBGs) to acquire an accurate measurement of the flexural strain of foamed bitumen stabilised (FBS) beams and to assess the material behaviour under both static and dynamic loading conditions. The beams were equipped with DFOs, FBGs and a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) to perform the static and dynamic flexural tests using a four-point bending apparatus. The initial plastic flexural strain progression of both top and bottom faces of the beam specimen under different test conditions, including different load pulse shapes and rest periods were evaluated. The results revealed that both haversine-upward and haversine-downward pulse shapes lead to a significant amount of plastic flexural strain compared to that evolved through sinusoidal pulse shapes. However, the plastic flexural strain under haversine pulse shapes can be minimised by introducing a rest period at certain cycle intervals. Further, the flexural strain profile captured by DFOs during the static and dynamic flexural tests indicated the capacity of DFOs to detect cracks initiation and propagation.

Accuracy of strain measurement systems on a non-isotropic material and its uncertainty on finite element analysis

The application of strain gauges as recommended by the ASTM standards provides accurate strain measurements in isotropic materials. However, their use in composite materials becomes more challenging due to their anisotropic nature. In this study, we hypothesized that the use of the distributed sensing system and the three-dimensional digital image correlation, which can average strain along a line and surface, respectively, may account for strain variability in composite materials. This study shows an investigation on the mechanical properties of unidirectional, cross-ply, and angle-ply carbon-epoxy specimens using strain gauges, distributed sensing system, and digital image correlation. The Bhattacharyya distance method was used to provide a preliminary evaluation of the closeness of the three different measurement techniques while the B-basis statistical method was used to analyze the experimental data in order to obtain a more conservative and reliable material parameter compared to the conventional averaged value, recommended by ASTM standards. Finally, a finite element model was created in Ansys Workbench™ as a means of evaluating the implication of a single point strain gauges measurement, versus a line or a surface strain measurement. The finite element analysis investigation was performed at a laminae level using the measured experimental elastic modulus and at a lamina–lamina level in which the elastic modulus of the unidirectional case was used as input in all the laminate configurations. The former analysis showed good agreement between the finite element analysis and all the strain measurement systems with an averaged percentage difference below 5%. The latter analysis showed a higher discrepancy in the measured percentage difference. A comparison between the finite element analysis and the strain gauges measurements showed an overall percentage difference between the range of 10% and 26%. Distributed sensing system and three-dimensional digital image correlation measurements provided an overall percentage difference below 10% for all the specimen configurations with a maximum percentage difference recorded for the longitudinal angle-ply case of approximately 9%.

Strain Measurement Based on Speeded-up Robust Feature Algorithm Applied to Microimages from a Smartphone-Based Microscope.

The objective of this study is to evaluate and improve the accuracy and stability of a strain measurement method that uses the speeded-up robust feature (SURF) method to trace the displacement of feature points in microimages and obtain the strain in objects. The microimages were acquired using a smartphone with a portable microscope, which has a broad prospect of application. An experiment was performed using an unpacked optical fiber as the experimental carrier. The matching effect of the SURF method was analyzed in the microimage, and the M-estimator sample consensus (MSAC) algorithm was used to reject outliers generated by SURF. The results indicated that the accuracy of strain measurement using the proposed method is improved by modifying the feature point tracking method and measurement method. When compared with the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) data, the maximum standard error corresponded to 2.5 με, which satisfies the requirement of structural health monitoring (SHM) in practical engineering.

Enhanced laser speckle optical sensor for in situ strain sensing and structural health monitoring.

In this Letter, an enhanced laser speckle optical sensor (LSOS) for nondestructive, noncontact, and high-accuracy strain measurement has been developed. Subsystems of laser beam shaping and telecentric imaging were incorporated into the LSOS to achieve optimized speckle patterns, and a field-of-view (FOV) separation was introduced to extend sensor gauge length. Validation tests confirmed that the LSOS achieved consistent results with resistive strain gauges in laboratory conditions with maximum RMS error (RMSE) of $ 9.44\;\unicode{x00B5} \unicode{x03B5} $9.44µε. Sensing practicality was demonstrated in field tests. The results showed that the LSOS is capable of achieving accurate strain measurements in an external environment with maximum RMSE of $ 13.34\;\unicode{x00B5}\unicode{x03B5} $13.34µε.

Transformer Winding Deformation Detection Based on BOTDR and ROTDR.

In order to realize distributed measurement of transformer winding temperature and deformation, a transformer winding modification scheme with a built-in distributed optical fiber was designed. By laying a single-mode fiber and a multi-mode fiber on the transformer winding, the Brillouin optical time domain reflection technique (BOTDR) and the Raman optical time domain reflection technique (ROTDR) are used to measure the strain and temperature of the winding to complete the more accurate winding deformation detection. The accuracy of strain and temperature sensing of this scheme was verified by simulation. Then, according to the scheme, a winding model was actually wound, and the deformation and temperature rise tests were carried out. The test results show that this scheme can not only realize the deformation detection and positioning of the winding, but can also realize the measurement of the winding temperature; the temperature measurement accuracy reached ±0.5 °C, the strain measurement accuracy was 200 με, and spatial resolution was up to 5 m. In this experiment, the deformation location with the precision of 2 turns was realized on the experimental winding.
