[0039] Example 1

[0040] A method for accurately sensing the dynamic strain of carbon fiber composite materials, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0041] Step S1: A set of fiber optic grating detection units are pre-embedded at different locations on the carbon fiber composite material, and the fiber optic grating detection units are numbered sequentially.

[0042] In this step, each fiber Bragg grating detection unit is calibrated and arranged at equal intervals.

[0043] In addition, at least one set of fiber Bragg grating detection units is used to detect the temperature signal of the carbon fiber composite material. Alternatively, a set of fiber Bragg grating detection units includes two fiber Bragg gratings, one for detecting temperature and the other for detecting strain.

[0044] Step S2: Obtain the strain signal of the carbon fiber composite material collected by each fiber grating detection unit. In this embodiment, the magnitude of the strain signal is determined by the center wavelength of the reflected light from each fiber grating.

[0045] Step S3: Establish a three-dimensional model of the carbon fiber composite material. Based on the strain signal, decompose the strain signal to obtain the characteristic quantities of the impact signal at each corresponding position. Assign the characteristic quantities to the corresponding positions of the three-dimensional model of the carbon fiber composite material to establish a mechanical model of stress coupling between the fiber grating and the carbon fiber composite material.

[0046] In this step, when establishing the mechanical model, the temperature of the carbon fiber composite material and the chirp effect of the fiber grating are considered, the characteristic quantities are reconstructed, and the mechanical model is established based on the reconstructed characteristic quantities.

[0047] Of course, the effect of temperature on strain of carbon fiber composite materials can be determined in advance through experimental testing. Based on the determined influence factors, the data can be reconstructed. During reconstruction, the time-varying characteristics of fiber optic grating sensing are taken into account to eliminate the chirp effect.
