Abstract
Monitoring stress changes in mining areas during mining activities is essential for early warning and prevention of dynamic disasters. This paper presents a distributed fiber-optic abutment pressure sensor (DFAPS) based on the Brillouin distributed fiber sensing principle. The performance of the DFAPS was evaluated through theoretical analysis, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations. The results confirm a strong linear relationship between the strain of the DFAPS and applied pressure, with an optimal sensitivity coefficient of 48.23 με/kPa. The DFAPS was utilized in the physical model test for measuring the distribution of stope abutment pressure in the mining area. The test results demonstrate high consistency between the abutment pressure distribution patterns reflected by DFAPS and resistance pressure sensor, with a relative error of less than 4.65 %. The proposed DFAPS offers large-scale distributed measurement, high precision, and high sensitivity, which provides a novel approach for abutment stress monitoring in mining environments.
