Abstract
A method includes providing a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system and a fiber sample. The DAS system includes a chamber and a signal generator positioned proximate to and outside the chamber. The method further includes manipulating the fiber sample into a desired shape, filling the chamber with a freezable liquid, wherein the freezable liquid is provided at room temperature, and placing the fiber sample into the chamber. The method also includes recording a first set of room temperature baseline measurements, freezing the freezable liquid, and recording a first set of frozen baseline measurements. The method further includes performing strain-sensing measurements while the signal generator is active, and melting the freezable liquid.
