METHOD OF APPLYING A STRING OF INTERCONNECTED STRAIN SENSORS TO AN OBJECT, A PLIABLE SUPPORT STRUCTURE, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING A MINERAL HYDROCARBON FLUID

摘要

A string of interconnected strain sensors applied to a cylindrical object for monitoring deformation of the object. The string of interconnected strain sensors is applied in a selected zig-zag pattern. A possibility is to drape a pliable support structure around the object, to which the the string of strain sensors has been mechanically coupled in the selected zig-zag pattern.
