Under appropriate hypotheses, the strain transfer distribution of wide-range FBG sensor based on the shear-lag theory is conducted to improve the accuracy of extra-large strain measurements. It is also discussed how the elastic modulus of adhesive layer affects the strain transfer rate. Two prototypes in different monitoring ranges are designed and fabricated by two layers of steel pipe encapsulation. The presented theoretical model is verified by experimental results. Moreover, it is demonstrated that experimentation in regards to the calibration of the wide-range FBG sensor, improved the amplification coefficient up to 2.08 times and 3.88 times, respectively. The static errors are both calculated and analyzed in this experiment. The wide-range FBG strain sensor shows favourable linearity and stability, which is an excellent property of sensors for extra-large strain monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19081851","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,18]],"date-time":"2019-04-18T11:58:21Z","timestamp":1555588701000},"page":"1851","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":127,"title":["The Strain Transfer Mechanism of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor for Extra Large Strain Monitoring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Li","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Shenyang Jianzhu University, Shenyang 110168, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chuang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Shenyang Jianzhu University, Shenyang 110168, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Qingdao University of Technology, Qingdao 266033, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tianqi","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Shenyang Jianzhu University, Shenyang 110168, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zihao","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Shenyang Jianzhu University, Shenyang 110168, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"82","article-title":"Safety assessment, health monitoring and damage diagnosis for structures in civil engineering","volume":"3","author":"Li","year":"2002","journal-title":"Earthq.
