? 2022 The AuthorsDistributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) allow for distributed strain sensing and can be installed to function as extensometers for measuring point-displacements. This paper discusses the metrics of optimal sensing fiber selection for point-displacement measuring. Key metrics include the physical structure, mechanical parameters and light transmission coefficients. Calibration tests for verification of the optical fiber properties are designed and results of four fiber types are presented. Finally, creep and relaxation behavior of optical fibers is discussed based on manual tension test results, and a quantification model is proposed to assess the induced measurement error for sensing fiber. The maximum (absolute) measurement error for two common fiber types used in point displacement measurements is determined to be below 8%, and the study shows that pretensioning of the fiber helps to reduce such measurement errors.
