In this paper, accuracy calibration experiments and the related analyses of two fiber-optic sensing technologies, the fiber-optic grating (FBG) and optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR), are carried out using a standard beam of equal strength and a mature resistive strain gauge (ESG). The fiber-optic single-point strain data for loading and unloading changes of the beams of equal strength show good continuity and linearity, with good cyclic stability, and the error in the strain test data is less than 2% after repeated loading. At the same time, using finite element theory to analyze the data and using the measured data error within 5%, a good strain test curve linearity is achieved and R2 is better than 0.998. After repeated loading and unloading tests, it is verified that the fiber grating and the distributed optical fiber in the strain test have good stability in repeatability accuracy. The calibration experiments and data analysis in this paper further illustrate the three sensing technologies in determining the strain test accuracy and the advantages and disadvantages of the indicators, and the development of the fiber optic sensing technology application provides basic technical support.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24123811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,13]],"date-time":"2024-06-13T06:23:11Z","timestamp":1718259791000},"page":"3811","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Strain Measurement Technology and Precision Calibration Experiment Based on Flexible Sensing Fiber"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7305-7394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bin","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Intense Pulsed Radiation Simulation and Effect, Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, Xi\u2019an 710024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Intense Pulsed Radiation Simulation and Effect, Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, Xi\u2019an 710024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Intense Pulsed Radiation Simulation and Effect, Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, Xi\u2019an 710024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Intense Pulsed Radiation Simulation and Effect, Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, Xi\u2019an 710024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Intense Pulsed Radiation Simulation and Effect, Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, Xi\u2019an 710024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Intense Pulsed Radiation Simulation and Effect, Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, Xi\u2019an 710024, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.1002\/2014JE004729","article-title":"Grain-scale thermoclastic stresses and spatiotemporal temperature gradients on airless bodies, implications for rock breakdown","volume":"120","author":"Molaro","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
