Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing (DFOS) for Deformation Assessment of Composite Collectors and Pipelines
The article presents an approach for monitoring displacements and strains in Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) collectors and pipelines using DFOS. The research verifies the effectiveness of the proposed monitoring solution for the health monitoring of composite pipelines. Analysis of strain profiles allowed for calculating the actual displacements (shape) of the pipe within its cross-section plane using the trapezoidal method.
