Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) technology is applied to a similar physical model experiment to monitor the internal strain of the overlying rock. In this paper, the strain law of the horizontal optical fiber at different stages of the instability of the mountain structure is analyzed. Combined with the measurement of the strain field on the surface of the model via digital image correlation (DIC) technology, the optical fiber strain characteristics of the precursor of mountain instability are given. The optical fiber characterization method of working face pressure is proposed, and the working face pressures at different mining stages in gully terrain are characterized. Finally, the relationship between the deflection instability of the mountain and the strong ground pressure on the working face is discussed. The sudden increase in the strain peak point of the horizontally distributed optical fiber strain curve can be used to distinguish the strong ground pressure. At the same time, this conclusion is verified by comparing the measured underground ground pressure values. The research results can promote the application of optical fiber sensing technology in the field of mine engineering.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23229063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,9]],"date-time":"2023-11-09T10:19:27Z","timestamp":1699525167000},"page":"9063","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Research on Similarity Simulation Experiment of Mine Pressure Appearance in Surface Gully Working Face Based on BOTDA"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5197-7706","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dingding","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Western Mine Exploitation and Hazard Prevention, Ministry of Education, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiming","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhe","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianfeng","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Western Mine Exploitation and Hazard Prevention, Ministry of Education, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Chai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Western Mine Exploitation and Hazard Prevention, Ministry of Education, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Further Discussion on Scientific Mining of Coal","volume":"43","author":"Qian","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
