High level radioactive waste (HLW) final disposal repository is faced thermos-hydro-mechanical - radioactive condition because it is placed over 500 m in depth and waste emits decay heats for decades. Repository will be operated around 100 years and will be closed after all the wastes are disposed. The integrity of engineered barriers including buffer, backfill, concrete plug and canister and natural barrier (natural rock mass) will be stood during operating periods. Monitoring sensors for concrete and rock mass is conducted using piezo based sensors such as accelerometer or acoustic emission (AE) sensors. Typical accelerometer for harsh conditions is commonly expensive and data/power cable can be a potential groundwater inflow and nuclide outflow path. The fiber optic accelerometer whose data and power cable are united and has limited volume. Therefore, it can be a potential alternative sensor of piezo based sensors. The temperature limits and accelerated tests for fiber optic sensors are conducted. Most of sensors gives a malfunction around 130°C. The results of these experimental tests give a possibility of communications in compacted bentonite buffer and will be utilized for the design of monitoring systems for the repository.

PURPOSES : The driver's ability to make a commitment has resulted in excessive force and a lack of commitment. To solve this problem, we are developing an algorithm that analyzes resolution in real-time by introducing IoT and informs drivers of the completion of compaction. METHODS : Real-time compaction was analyzed by installing accelerometers on the rollers. To evaluate the algorithms, we conducted an apparent density test. RESULTS : The algorithm data and apparent density test data showed similar trends. This means that the proposed algorithms are sufficiently reliable. However, a lack of data samples and the fact that only data prior to completion of the commitment were analyzed may indicate a lack of reliability. CONCLUSIONS : In subsequent studies, the number of samples will be increased and the data after completion of the commitment analyzed to increase reliability. Introducing a tachometer will prevent the TVL from falling sharply when the direction of the rollers' progress changes. In addition, it is also planned to upgrade the algorithms by researching cases in which the algorithms did not produce satisfactory results owing to problems such as temperature and speed.

In this study, the leak signal was measured by using an accelerometer to analyze the basic data and methodology for the development of the leak point estimation method in the water supply pipe. The measured results were analyzed by frequency analysis and cross-correlation analysis for leakage signals, and the error range was compared and analyzed with the actual leak point distance. As a result, it was confirmed that the vibration intensity due to leakage from the water leakage point was attenuated according to the distance. In the case of the ductile iron casting used in the experiment, the intensity of the signal at the 945 Hz, 1,500 Hz, 2,300 Hz band was increased with the change of the pressure in the pipe at 4mm of leakage hole. Also, it was confirmed that as the water pressure increases, the intensity of the leak signal increases but the similarity of the signal decreases. The results of this study confirm that the accelerometer sensor can be used efficiently for leak detection and it can be used as a basic data for the analysis for the development of leak point estimation method in the future.

In this paper, we analyze user's manipulation and reaction in an accelerometer-based game interface, as compared with a touch joystick-based game interface. To roll the ball, the user carefully grabs and adjusts the smartphone with both hands in the accelerometer-based game interface; while the user very quickly clicks the up, down, left, right, buttons in the touch joystick-based game interface, because it is already familiar to the user. The accelerometer-based game interface is relatively more immersive and interesting than the touch joystick-based game interface; because the user gets more desired results by elaborately operating the game with both hands rather than by clicking the buttons with the thumb.

Then, the change in wavelength of the prepared accelerometer according to the sensor angle, and that of the sensor according to the change in ambient temperature were measured. According to the test results on the FBG-based vibration sensor that was developed using a high-speed vibrator, the range in measurement was 0.7 g or more, wavelength sensitivity, 2150 pm/g or more, and the change in wavelength change, 9.5 pm/℃.

Background: Posture balance control is the ability to maintain the body’s center of gravity in the minimal postural sway state on a supportive surface. This ability is obtained through a complicated process of sensing the movements of the human body through sensory organs and then integrating the information into the central nervous system and reacting to the musculoskeletal system and the support action of the musculoskeletal system. Motor function, including coordination, motor, and vision, vestibular sense, and sensory function, including proprioception, should act in an integrated way. However, more than half of stroke patients have motor, sensory, cognitive, and emotional disorders for a long time. Motor and sensory disorders cause the greatest difficulty in postural control among stroke patients. Objects: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of visual and somatosensory information on postural sway in stroke patients and carrying out a kinematic analysis using a tri-axial accelerometer and a quantitative assessment. Methods: Thirty-four subjects posed four stance condition was accepted various sensory information for counterbalance. This experiment referred to the computerized dynamic posturography assessments and was redesigned four condition blocking visual and somatosensory information. To measure the postural sway of the subjects’ trunk, a wireless tri-axial accelerometer was used by signal vector magnitude value. Ony-way measure analysis of variance was performed among four condition. Results: There were significant differences when somatosensory information input blocked (p<.05). Conclusion: The sensory significantly affecting the balance ability of stroke patients is somatosensory, and the amount of actual movement of the trunk could be objectively compared and analyzed through quantitative figures using a tri-axial accelerometer for balance ability.

본 논문은 인체에 영향을 미치는 진동에 따라 도로노면의 주행성을 정량화하고 향후 공용중인 도로 및 신설도로의 주행 안전성 평가에 적용할 수 있는 방법론을 정립하는 것이 주요 목적이다. 이를 위해 평탄성 및 인체 피로도 관련 조사를 수행하여 이론적 근거를 수립하였고 다양한 고속도로 표본 구간을 선정하여 차량 내 3축 가속도를 측정하였다. 도로 상태별로 ISO-2631에 준한 주파수별 가속도 값을 분류화함으로써 노면상태에 따른 인체에 미치는 진동 가속도 수준을 정량화할 수 있었다. 연구 결과, 전반적으로 인체에 미치는 피로도는 IRI가 높은 콘크리트 포장이 크게 유발시키는 것으로 나타났으며, SMA 포장과 다이아몬드그라인딩이 적용된 콘크리트 포장은 상대적으로 피로도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents a new type of optical silicon accelerometer using deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and micro-stereolithography technology. Optical silicon accelerometer is based on a mass suspended by four vertical beams. A vertical shutter at the end of the mass can only moves along the sensing axis in the optical path between two single-mode optical fibers. The shutter modulates intensity of light from a laser diode reaching a photo detector. With the DRIE technique for (100) silicon, it is possible to etch a vertical shutter and beam. This ensures low sensitivity to accelerations that are not along the sensing axis. The microstructure for sensor packaging and optical fiber fixing was fabricated using micro stereolithography technology. Designed sensors are two types and each resonant frequency is about 15 kHz and 5 kHz.

교통사고 원인분석 및 사고예방을 위해서는 교통사고 유발요인에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 기존 연구에서는 기하구조, 운전자 특성 등의 요인을 고려하여 연구를 진행하였다. 그러나, 운전자 특성요인 분석에 사용된 자료는 검지기에서 측정된 집계된 속도로써, 속도 변화량을 이용한 사고분석연구에는 한계가 존재한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 차량의 속도변화 등의 수집이 용이한 센서를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 가속도자료 및 기하구조 특성을 나타내는 변수를 설정하고, 사고자료와 매칭을 통해 사고개연성이 높은 잠재적 변수로의 적합성을 평가하였다. T-test, 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 사용했으며, T-test 결과로써 도출된 변수를 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석의 독립변수에 적용하고, 사고발생 유 무를 종속변수로 설정하였다. 분석결과, 5개의 변수가 사고발생에 영향을 주는 변수로 도출되었다. 또한, 도출된 모형은 사고발생구간의 예측에 적용할 수 있는 타당성을 확보하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 위험 운전행태 변수 및 모형은 프로브차량에 설치하여 활용할 수 있는 장치 등에 적용시켜 사고위험도 및 안전성 평가에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

철근 콘크리트 구조물에서 발생하는 균열에 의한 손상은 과도한 하중이나 사용성에 의해 발생한다. 이러한 손상을 검사하는 방법으로 육안으로 확인하거나 비파괴 시험법을 주로 이용하고 있다. 후자의 경우, 콘크리트 내부 철근의 배근 방향성에 의해 균열에 의한 손상인지 판별하기 어려운 문제가 발생하게 되며, 비파괴시험(Non-destructive Test)에 사용되는 대부분의 센서(Sensor)는 1축 가속도 센서이기 때문에 중첩된 전달파를 분석하기에는 어렵다. 따라서, 이를 해결하기 위해 중공 유리관을 이용하였고 콘크리트 보 내부에 매입하여 철근이 매입되어 있는 경우에 대하여 3축 가속도계를 이용하여 탄성파로 가진 하였을 경우에 발생하는 파(Wave)를 비교 분석하였다.

이 논문에서는 진동형상의 민감도로 유도한 피셔정보행렬(Fisher Information Matrix)를 이용하는 가속도계의 최적위치 결정 기법 MS-EIDV(modal sensitivity-effective independence distribution vector)을 제안하고, 이를 사용하여 구조물의 동적 거동을 잘 반영하여 가속도계의 최적위치를 결정할 수 있는 합리적인 기준을 제시한다. 실험을 위한 가속도계의 최적위치는 구조물의 변수가 기지값이어야 결정되지만 구조물의 변수값은 실험결과를 사용한 SI(system identification)기법과 같은 역해석을 통해 구해지기 때문에, 본 논문에서는 구조변수의 오차를 감안하여 미지의 구조물의 현 상태를 통계적으로 반영하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법들의 검증을 위해 주파수영역 SI기법을 적용하였으며, 구조변수 추정 결과를 통해 현장에서 계측하고자하는 진동형상의 수에 따른 최소 필요 가속도계의 개수를 제시하였다. 수치예제에서는 진동형상만을 이용한 최적위치 결정법인 EIDV기법과 제안된 MS-EIDV기법에 의해 추정된 구조 변수 결과를 비교하였다.

A new algorithm for determining optimal accelerometer locations is proposed by using a frequency-domain Hankel matrix which is much simpler to construct than a time-domain Hankel matrix. The algorithm was examined through simulation studies by comparing the outcomes with those from other available methods. To compare and analyze the results from different methods, a dynamic analysis was carried out under seismic excitation and acceleration data were obtained at the selected optimal sensor locations. Vibrational amplitudes at the selected sensor locations were determined and those of all the other degrees of freedom were determined by using a spline function. MAC index of each method was calculated and compared to look at which method could determine more effective locations of accelerometers. The proposed frequency-domain Hankel matrix could determine reasonable selection of accelerometer locations compared with the others.

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. 3-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.
