The objective of the study is to compare theoretical displacement and strain values with those obtained from experiment. The elastic load method was used to obtain the theoretical values. For comparison purpose, H-beams were tested using a three point bending test method. The load-displacement and load-strain curves from the experiment were compared to those from the theory. According to the comparison, displacement was in good agreement with less than 10% difference. Strain values showed difference ranging from approximately 11 to 30%.

Measurement of dynamic displacement of large structure is one of the most challenging issues in structural health monitoring. With a Kalman filter based technique, the proposed displacement measurement system which consists of GPS-RTK, accelerometer, DAQ, and computer shows the huge potential for precise measurement of dynamic displacement of large structure. The performance of the system has been verified by modal shaker test. This paper presents a new system for dynamic and pseudostatic displacement measurement for a large-scale civil infrastructure. Even though dynamic displacement measurement on a large-scale structure is one of the most challenging issues in structural health monitoring, traditional displacement sensors as well as cutting edge noncontact sensors suffers from the lack of accuracy and precision due to field conditions such as measurement distance and requirement for a fixed support. With a Kalman filter based technique, the proposed displacement measurement system, which consists of a GPS-RTK, accelerometer, DAQ and computer, efficiently estimates bias contained in the acceleration record by fusing the acceleration with intermittently recorded GPS-RTK data, and estimate high precision and high accuracy displacement by removing the bias from the acceleration record and conducting double integration. Through a series of lab-scale tests using a vibration exiciter, the performance of the system has been verified and shows the potential for accurate and precise measurement of dynamic displacement of a large-scale structure.

To verify the displacement estimation method which is based on the relation between displacement and strain, static and dynamic field test are performed on the real bridge structures. Static and dynamic displacements estimated by using strain signal are well agreed with measured one by LVDT. This study demonstrates that the displacement estimation method using strain signal can be effectively applied to the displacement measurement of bridge structures, which are crossing the river/road/railway or have high clearance.

To realize a robot hand interacting like a human hand, there are many tactile sensors sensing normal force, shear force, torque, shape, roughness and temperature. This sensing signal is essential to manipulate object accurately with robot hand. In particular, slip sensors make manipulation more accurate and breakless to object. Up to now several slip sensors were developed and applied to robot hand. Many of them used complicate algorithm and signal processing with vibration data. In this paper, we developed novel principle slip sensor using separation layer. These two layers are moved from each other when slip occur. Developed sensor can sense slip signal by measuring this relative displacement between two layers. Also our principle makes slip signal decoupled from normal force and shear force without other sensors. The sensor was fabricated using the NBR(acrylo-nitrile butadiene rubber) and the Ecoflex as substrate and a paper as dielectric. To verify our sensor, slip experiment and normal force decoupling test were conducted.

Because stage cable-bridge have long spans and large members, their movements and geometrical changes by temperatures tend to be bigger than those of small or medium-size bridge. Therefore, it is important for maintenance engineers to monitor and assess the effect to temperature on the cable-supported bridges. To evaluate how much the superstructure expands or contracts when subjected to changes in temperature is the first step for the maintenance. Thermal movements of a cable-stayed bridge in service are evaluated by using long-term temperatures and displacements data.

This study proposes a measurement method using angular sensors to measure deformation and displacement of bridges. The proposed measurement method consists of gyroscope sensors and data processor to transform angular to vertical displacement. This study contains experimental evaluation to verify the applicability of the proposed method. 4-points bending tests were conducted on a small-sized girder specimen. The displacements were measured with both conventional LVDT and gyroscope sensor to compare the accuracy of the proposed method. It is estimated that the method using gyroscope shows some noise in data, but the method using gyroscope has advantages to measure the vertical displacement. Therefore if the sampling rate and synchronizing problems can be approved, it can be a good alternative measuring method for the deformation of the bridges.

Impact factor for used in the load carrying capacity evaluation of bridges is varied depending on vehicle speed and bridge frequencies. So, it is hard to define its peak value since in the field test the truck speeds applied cannot cover all possible vehicle speeds and the speed per each vehicle loading test cannot remain constant consistently. Furthermore, the target bridges should be closed during field test, which leads to an inconvenient traffic flow. In this paper, a displacement-based response spectrum of bridges is considered to define the peak impact factor without conducting the standard vehicle loading test, while using a bridge operational traffic condition.

Reconstruction of the bridge is constructed to well foundation at the basement. Therefore, the existing bridge should evaluate the impact according to blasting construction. The result of displacement are presented the standard dispacement of the existing bridge.

An experimental validation of the proposed method was carried out on a prestressed concrete girder bridge, and the method provides the best estimate for dynamic displacements.
