Abstract

In this study, a smart sensor unit is developed by using the smart sensor technology that is being rapidly developed in recent years for structural health monitoring system, and its performance is evaluated through various experiments, and also, damage detection experiment is performed on a model structure. This paper as the first half of this study contains the development and performance evaluation of the smart sensor. In the latter half of this study, structure damage detection experiment is performed for the application of verified smart sensor unit into structural health monitoring, and it is compared with a wire measurement system. The smart sensor is developed by using high-power wireless modem, MEMS Sensor and AVR microcontroller, and an embedded program is also developed for the control and operation of the sensor unit. To verify the performance of the smart sensor, many experiments are performed for sensitivity and resolution analysis tests, data acquisition by using cantilever beam and shaker, and on-site application using actual bridge. As a result, the smart sensor proves to be satisfactory in its performance.

본 연구에서는 구조물의 모니터링 시스템을 위하여 최근에 급속하게 발전하는 스마트 센서 기술을 이용하여 스마트 센서 장치를 개발하였고 다양한 실험을 통하여 개발한 스마트 센서의 기본적 성능 평가와 모형 구조물을 이용한 손상 검출 실험을 실시하였다. 본 논문은 Part 1로써 스마트 센서의 개발과 성능 평가에 관한 것이고 Part 2에서는 스마트 센서를 이용한 손상 검출 결과를 유선 계측 시스템을 이용한 실험결과와 비교하였다. 스마트 센서는 고 출력의 무선 모뎀과 고 성능 MEMS 센서, AVR 마이크로컨트롤러를 이용하여 개발하였으며 센서의 제어와 운영을 위한 임베디드 프로그램을 개발하였다. 스마트 센서의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 민감도와 분해능 분석 실험과 캔틸레버 보와 가진기를 이용한 데이터 획득 실험, 실 구조물을 이용한 현장 적용 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과, 개발한 스마트 센서의 성능에 대한 만족스런 결과를 얻었다.
