T1 - Experimental qualification and validation of fibre optic strain sensors T2 - OFS2012 - 22nd International conference on optical fiber sensors (Proceedings) N2 - Strain sensors used in practical applications must provide reliable measurement data. To achieve this, sensor systems must be validated by using experimental facilities that enable physically independent statements about the performance of the sensor components. The paper describes qualification and validation procedures using a special facility to qualify surface-applied strain sensors and to achieve reliable sensor results. Based on examples concerning fibre optic strain sensor patches with and without FBG sensors, the determination of the strain gauge factor also under combined thermal and mechanical loading will be presented. These results are the basis for development of guidelines and standards. PB - SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering CY - Bellingham, Wash.
