Abstract

Summary

Distributed Acoustic Sensing is a seismic acquisition technology with the promise to lower costs and increase coverage and density of sampling. Curved fibres (e.g., helical-wound) furthermore enable both a mitigation of the well-known broadside insensitivity issue and in principle the local measurement of vector displacement and/or tensor strain. We introduce a parameterization of a helical fibre wound about an arbitrarily curved cable axis, considering in particular the case of a helix wound about another helix, introducing a naming convention involving an “n-helix”. We illustrate the possible benefits of a fibre wound into a 2-helix with plots of tangents on the unit sphere. Within this model we generalize the broadside insensitivity relationship, by considering projections of P-wave strain onto the enumerated tangents of shaped fibre.
