This paper presents the theoretical analysis for the flow driven by surface tension and gravity force in an inclined circular tube. The previously developing equation for Power-Law model is a simple ordinary differential type. A governing equation is developed for describing the displacement of a non-Newtonian fluid(Casson model) that continuously flows into a circular tube by surface tension, which represents a second-order, nonlinear, non-homogeneous, and ordinary differential form. It was found that the theoretical predictions of the governing equation were in good agreement with the results for considering the Newtonian model.

Sometimes, it is impossible to install a sensor on a certain location of a structure due to the size of a structure or poor surrounding environments. Even if possible, sensors can be frequently malfunctioned or improperly operated due to lack of adequate maintenance. These kind of problems are solved by the virtual sensing methods in various engineering fields. Virtual sensing technology is a technology that can measure data even though there is no physical sensor. It is expected that this technology can be also applied to the construction field effectively. In this study, a virtual sensing technology based on ARX model is proposed. An ARX model is defined by using the simulated data through a structural analysis rather than by actually measured data. The ARX-based virtual sensing model can be applied to estimate unmeasured response using a transfer function that defines the relationship between two point data. In this study, a simulation and experimental study were carried out to examine the proposed virtual sensing method with a laboratory test on a cable-stayed model bridge. Acceleration measured at a girder is transformed to estimate a cable tension through the ARX model-based virtual sensing.

Measuring the exact cable tension force is important to cable supported bridge under construction and on service. This study was planned to propose EM(electro-magnetic) sensor-based method for measuring the tension force of MS(multi-strand) cable in cable-stayed and extradosed bridge. The tension force in each strand is the same due to MS cable construction using Iso-tensioning system. Therefore, In this prosed method, EM sensor was installed directly at a strand and the measurement model was established for estimating the tension force of strand via EM sensor by experiments. The measurement model was derived from the relation of tension force and magnetic permeability. Also, the magnetic permeability is shown to be different according to the magnetization characteristic of 1860MPa and 2200MPa high-strength strand. The difference is increased as tension force increases. Additional experiment was conducted to verify the measurement model. As a result, the distribution of strand tension calculated upon the EM sensor is similar to those of tension measured by load cell. This proposed approach can be an effective tool for monitoring and measuring the cable force of MS cable.

This paper presents the theoretical analysis for the flow driven by surface tension and gravity force in an inclined circular tube. The present study introduces detailed mathematical procedures for Casson viscosity model. The equations of velocity distribution and flow rate are developed to describe the displacement of a non-Newtonian fluid that continuously flew into a circular tube by surface tension. The equation of modified volumetric flow shows the complicated form of (10) due to yield stress term, and the equation of velocity distribution which includes the yield stress and inclination angle of circular tube is composed of terms of r and rc as form of (14).

This paper presents the theoretical analysis for the flow driven by surface tension and gravity force in an inclined circular tube. The governing equation is developed to describe the displacement of a Newtonian fluid that continuously flew into a circular tube by surface tension, which represents a second-order, nonlinear, nonhomogeneous and ordinary differencial form. It was found that the theoretical predictions of the governing equation were excellent agreement with the unsteady state solutions for horizontal tube and the results of force balance equation for steady state.

The method based on various mathematical characteristic equations for identifying tensile forces in the cable structure system are used as response data to reflect the properties of the dynamic sensitivity. The vibration tests have been conducted with respect to levels of applied weight for the sagged cable. In this study, a set of natural frequencies are extracted from the measured dynamic data. Next, existing characteristic equation methods based these extracted natural frequencies are applied to identify tensil forces of the sagged cable system. Through several verification procedures, the proposed methods could be applied to a sagged cable system when the initial material data are insufficiency.

현수교 행어케이블의 장력은 현수교의 상태점검에 있어 중요한 요소이다. 현재 케이블의 장력 추정에는 여러 이론식에 의한 간접적인 방법들이 사용되고 있으며, 케이블의 가속도신호로부터 고유진동수를 측정한 후 고유진동수와 장력과의 관계로부터 케이블의 장력을 추정하는 진동법이 대표적이다. 하지만 운동방정식을 기반으로 하는 진동법은 휨강성의 영향이 큰 짧은 케이블의 장력추정에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 10m 미만의 짧은 케이블에 대해서도 전기 가능한 새로운 장력 추정 방법으로 단변분탐색법과, 최적화 기법을 이용한 역해석 기법을 제시하였다. 이론에 대한 검증을 위해 국내에 사용 중인 광안대교 행어케이블을 대상으로, 역해석과 진동법에 의한 추정장력들과 설계장력을 상호 비교하였고, 이를 통해 역해석기법이 길이에 상관없이 장력추정에 유용하다는 결론을 얻었다.

In a recent construction industry, cable supported sσuctures such as a cable-stayed bridge or space stadium have been increasingly constructed according to rapidly upgrade their related technologies. Generally stay cables as a critical member need to be rearranged for being satisfied with design tension forces. In this purpose, a vibration method has been applied to estimate the tension forces exerted on existing stay cables. In this study, cable vibration tests were carried out to evaluate the cable tension forces comp와ing with theoretical and practical formulas. Using the measured frequencies ob않ined from free vibration and impulsive tests, an accuracy of the estimated tension forces is confirmed according to use the first single mode only or higher multiple modes.

케이블 교량에서 케이블은 가장 중요한 구조부재의 하나이며, 케이블의 내부 장력을 모니터링하는 것은 케이블 교량 유지 관리에서 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 케이블 장력을 효율적으로 모니터링하기 위한 무선센서 기반의 장력추정 자동화 시스템을 개발하였다. 무선센서에 포함된 가속도계를 통해 케이블의 진동을 계측하고, 진동기반 장력추정법을 통해 케이블의 장력을 추정하였다. 장력추정 절차를 자동화하기 위해 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 기계학습법의 하나인 합성곱 신경망을 도입하였다. 개발된 자동화 기법은 싱글보드 컴퓨터의 하나인 라즈베리파이3 모델B+에 구현하였으며, 실험실에서 모형 케이블을 이용하여 성능을 검증하였다. 케이블의 장력이 바뀌는 경우에도 개발된 시스템은 자동으로 변화된 장력의 크기를 잘 계측할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the variation of tension of existing tendon by additional tendon installation. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the tension value was decreased overall compared with before tenden reinforcement. The cause of the reduction of tension is presumably due to the effect of reinforcement.

본 연구의 목표는 PSC 거더 구조물의 긴장력 변화 조건하에 계측을 통한 잔류 긴장력을 예측하는데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 도시형 자기부상열차 직선부 PSC 거더의 긴장력 변화에 따른 처짐, 동적임피던스, 그리고 가속도 계측을 통한 고유진동수를 계측하여 거더의 잔류긴장력 변화에 따른 계측 데이터의 변화를 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 대공간 구조물로서 2002년 건축된 6개 월드컵경기장 인장케이블의 특성과 관련하여 케이블의 고유진동수와 이를 이용한 기존 이론식들의 적용성에 대하여 실험적으로 검토하였다. 실험결과, 케이블의 휨강성을 고려함으로서 8%이내의 정확도를 가지고 케이블의 인장력을 추정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으나 휨강성의 영향이 큰 범위(ξ≤7)에 있어서는 추정오차가 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있어 이 범위에 대해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료되며, 다중진동모드를 사용하더라도 단일진동모드를 사용하는 경우와 비교하여 장력추정 오차는 크게 개선할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다.
