Magnetic sensing NDE(non-destructive evaluation) method was applied to detect local damages at the steel chain of the escalator. To verify the feasibility of the magnetic sensing based chain inspection method, a magnetic sensor head was fabricated to adapt to the target chain. The fabricated sensor head scanned the notch damaged chain specimen to measure the magnetic flux signals. After obtaining signal, a series of signal processing process including pick picking and enveloping process based on Hilbert transform (HT) was performed to detect the damaged point by clarifying the signal.

Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCCs)는 시멘트 복합체에 혼입한 전도성 섬유로 인해 전기 전도성을 가진다. 이러한 특성은 전기적 응답 계측을 통하여 별도의 센서 설치가 필요 없는 구조물의 균열 모니터링을 가능하게 한다. 하지만 전기적 응답은 균열 발생뿐 만 아니라 온도의 변화에도 민감하게 변화하기 때문에 온도 요인은 전기적 응답 계측을 통한 균열 탐지를 방해하는 요소로 작용할 수 있다. 더욱이 전기적 응답을 측정하기 위한 탐침의 개수가 증가 할수록 원하지 않은 접촉 노이즈가 발생하기 때문에 이 논문에서는 탐침의 개수를 줄이기 위해 자체적인 자가센싱 임피던스 회로를 설계하였다. FRCC의 균열 발생과 온도 변화가 임피던스에 미치는 영향성은 자가센싱 임피던스 회로를 이용해 실험적으로 측정되었으며, 실험 결과, 임피던스 응답은 균열 발생보다 온도 변화에 더 민감하게 변화됨을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, there has been frequent shortage of expansion joint in expressway bridges. When that happens, maintenance budgets will be overloaded and not effective, so it is not easy to come up with a solution. In this study, we introduce a bridge inspection system that combines laser image sensing technology and automatic control technology, which have been recently applied in various fields. And this system was developed to measure bridge extension joints while traveling more than 80km/h.

Tree canopy is a valuable component consisting of urban ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to classify urban tree canopy (UTC) by using high resolution imagery and object-oriented classification (OOC), which was used to classify the different land cover types. With an urban canopy mapping system based on OOC and Decision Tree Classification (DTC), a site mapping was carried out by merging spectral data of high resolution imagery. This methodological approach showed high classification accuracy to distinguish small patches and continuous UTC boundaries on the high resolution imagery. For shadow removal, decision tree classification with various environmental variables such as brightness channel and band combination could effectively work. Our proposed methodology can be successfully used for the assessment and restoration of fragmented urban ecosystem and offer an opportunity to obtain high classification accuracy for the distinction of UTC components in urban landscape areas.

At the time of the end of 2013, public sewage treatment facilities running nationwide facility capacity to over the 500 m³/day is 569 places at 25,085,810 m³/day, less than 500 m³/day facility capacity to 3,205 places is 244,592 m³/day. This is increased by about 2% annually in sewer diffusion rate 78.8% from 2003 to 2013 increased to 92.1%, but due to factors such as an increase in population. Also, every year changes in the inflow rate and the inflow sewage of concentration of sewage treatment facilities, has increased continuously. The concentration of organic matter in the sewage thus generated, which is removed by sewage treatment process, the most important process in the second process is a biological process. Most biological processes, maintaining DO, pH, and the environment of operation by a temperature sensor.

This paper aims to develop a wireless multi-sensing system for structural health monitoring of civil structures. This system is designed to measure all kinds of data--static and dynamic response, etc--from a multi-sensing data logger, and to transmit the measured data by means of a wireless real-time RF module, and to analyze the transmitted data for a health monitoring of structure. To test its validity, a FE analysis of a model cable-stayed bridge has been conducted for system identification. And a modal test of the model bridge has been also performed by both the proposed system and a cable based commercial measurement system(IOTech) for comparison. Based on those results, the proposed system was found to have an excellent capability of measuring and transmitting data from actual structure, and thus to be applicable to health monitoring of civil structures.

In order to understand the relation between the distribution of sea surface temperature and heavy snowfall over western coast of the Korean peninsula, several numerical assessments were carried out. Numerical model used in this study is WRF, and sea surface temperature data were FNL(National Center for Environment Prediction-Final operational global analysis), RTG(Real Time Global analysis), and OSTIA(Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis). There were produced on the basis of remote sensing data, such as a variety of satellite and in situ observation. The analysis focused on the heavy snowfall over Honam districts for 2 days from 29 December 2010. In comparison with RTG and OSTIA SST data, sensible and latent heat fluexes estimated by numerical simulation with FNL data were higher than those with RTG and OSTIA SST data, due to higher sea surface temperature of FNL. General distribution of RTG and OSTIA SST showed similar, however, fine spatial differences appear in near western coast of the peninsula. Estimated snow fall amount with OSTIA SST was occurred far from the western coast because of higher SST over sea far from coast than that near coast. On the other hand, snowfall amount near coast is larger than that over distance sea in simulation with RTG SST. The difference of snowfall amount between numerical assessment with RTG and OSTIA is induced from the fine difference of SST spatial distributions over the Yellow sea. So, the prediction accuracy of snowfall amount is strongly associated with the SST distribution not only over near coast but also over far from the western coast of the Korean peninsula.

The effect of steel fiber types on the self-sensing capacity of strain-hardening fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (SH-SFRCs) was investigated. Three types of fiber, including twisted, smooth and hooked fibers, were used with a volume content of 1.5% in a mortar matrix. Although all the SH-SFRCs exhibited self damage-sensing capacity, the gauge factor, representing for damage-sensing ability, was different according to the types of fiber as follows: twisted (138.09) > smooth (99.85) > hooked (88.50). The SH-SFRC with twisted fiber produced the highest gauge factor which is very favorable for development of self damage-sensor.

In this paper, an external torque estimation problem in one-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) flexible-joint robot equipped with a joint-torque sensor is revisited. Since a sensor torque from the jointtorque sensor is distorted by two dynamics having a spring connection, i.e., motor dynamics and link dynamics of a flexible-joint robot, a model-based estimation, rather than a simple linear spring model, should be required to extract external torques accurately. In this paper, an external torque estimation algorithm for a 1-DOF flexible-joint robot is proposed. This algorithm estimates both an actuating motor torque from the motor dynamics and an external link torque from the link dynamics simultaneously by utilizing the flexible-joint robot model and the Kalman filter estimation based on random-walk model. The basic structure of the proposed algorithm is explained, and the performance is investigated through a custom-designed experimental testbed for a vertical situation under gravity.

본 논문에서는, 자이로스코프를 이용한 각속도 계측과 가속도계를 통한 가속도 계측을 통해, 기존 의 가속도 계측만을 통한 교량구조물의 건전성평가의 단점을 극복하고자 한다. 교량의 경우, 지점 부근에서는 각속도 변화가 큰 반면, 중앙경간으로 갈수록 그 값은 작아지고, 가속도 변화가 크게 발생한다. 이러한 교량의 거동 특성을 통해 가속도 계측을 통한 건전성 평가에서 간과할 수 있는 지점 부근의 손상을 지점 부근에서 계측된 각속도를 이용해 보상하는 방법이다. 즉, 가속도 계측치를 이용하여 구조물의 모드유연도 행렬을 구성하고, 이를 이용하여 일차적인 손상진단을 수행한다. 추가 적으로 지점부근의 각속도 계측을 이용해 얻어진 회전 모드유연도 행렬을 이용하여 지점부근에서의 손상진단을 수행한다. 제안된 방법의 검증을 위해서 단순보를 이용한 수치해석을 수행했다. 중앙 부근의 손상과 지점 부근의 손상을 모사하였으며, 제안된 방법의 우수성 검증을 위해 가속도 계측만 을 통한 결과와 이종 데이터 계측을 통한 결과에 대한 비교연구를 수행했다.

Recently, air-coupled impact-echo (IE) tests for rapid damage detection in concrete structures have been popularly employed, but they typically require an acoustically shielded, high sensitivity, pre-polarized air-pressure sensor. In this study, two types of air-coupled sensors (condenser and dynamic microphones) and one contact sensor (displacement sensor) are evaluated with regard to characterization of delamination damage in a concrete slab using the IE method. The contact and contactless IE tests were carried out over a simulated slab with artificial delaminations. Results show that even the dynamic microphone successfully captures impact-echo signals in a contactless manner and without acoustic shielding.
