An optical fiber sensor is capable of nondestructive measurement of a structure and it has an advantage of the immunity to electromagnetic interference because light is not affected by electromagnetic wave. In addition, if optical fibers are buried in an object like a concrete, this sensor tan analyze defects and physical status of the object without disassembling it. Especially, the fiber Bragg grating sensor is a promising optical fiber sensor capable of nondestructive test of such an object. A fiber Bragg grating has the characteristics of reflecting or blotting light of a specific wavelength. If we apply physical quantity like strain to the fiber Bragg grating, the center wavelength of the reflected light is shifted and then we can find the physical quantity applied to the fiber Bragg grating by measuring the center wavelength shift of the reflected light. The fiber Bragg grating sensor capable ot static and dynamic strain measurement is being used in health-monitoring of buildings, structures, etc. Recently increasing is interest in dynamic strain measurement inevitable to the civil structures such as roads and bridges. In this study we implemented the optical fiber sensor system which can measure dynamic strain at multiple points using Fabry-Perot wavelength demodulation. And we measured the static and dynamic strain using this sensor system with a test structure(cantilever). Measurement results were similar to those obtained with the conventional electrical measurement methods.

For the simultaneous measurement of strain and damage signal a fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a dual demodulator was proposed. The dual demodulator is composed of a demodulator using a tunable Fabry-Perot filter measuring the low-frequency signal with large magnitude such as strain and the other using a passive Mach-Zehnder interferometer detecting the high-frequency signal with small amplitude such as impact or damage signal. Using the proposed fiber Bragg grating sensor system, both the strain and damage signals of a cross-ply laminated composite beam under tensile loading were simultaneously measured. The strain and damage signals detected by single fiber Bragg grating sensor showed that sudden strain shifts were accompanied with vibration at a maximum frequency of several hundreds of kilohertz at the instant of matrix crack propagation in the 90 degree layer in composite beam.

In the food process, twist screen is widely used to divide particles on the basis of size. As screen equipped in the twist screen perfoms an important part in the particle size distribution mechanism, the contact area of screen and particles, retention time of particles on the screen, mesh and string thickness of screen and the flow pattern of particles on the screen are major points of the separation efficiency. To improve the separation efficiency, increase the retention time and control the flow pattern of particles, screen frame dam and spiral blockage are installed on the sieve of twist screen ${\emptyset}$ 1200 and ${\emptyset}$ 1500. Twist screen ${\emptyset}$ 1500 with frame dam treated similar separation capacity, 37% higher separation ratio and less non-separated particles of product output 1 than general twist screen. Twist screens with frame dam and spiral blockage showed less treatment capacity, three times higher division ratio and entire separation than general twist screen.

The conformational properties of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in aqueous solutions are studied by viscometry with respect to the water structure perturbing capabilities of a series of urea solutes at $16^{\circ}C$, and experiments for the effect of amounts of urea and methylurea on PEO at 16 and $25^{\circ}C$ are also performed. The results show that the chain expansion, by ureas, of PEO of $1.0{\times}10^5$ molecular weight at $16^{\circ}C$ is similar to that of PEO of $8.0{\times}10^3$ molecular weight at $25^{\circ}C$ with respect to the water structure perturbation. Urea and methylurea make the PEO chain expand by the perturbation of water structure around PEO and by the hydrophobic interaction between methylurea and PEO, respectively. PEO of $1.0{\times}10^5$ molecular weight has hydrophobic sites on it, which are roughly classified into two parts; one is the inner hydrophobic groups which can interact between themselves (intramolecular hydrophobic interaction) and prevails at $16^{\circ}C$, and the other is the outer, exposed hydrophobic groups which can interact with the added hydrophobic solute (intermolecular hydrophobic interaction) and prevails at $25^{\circ}C.$

제방은 하천의 범람으로부터 제내지의 인명, 가옥, 재산, 각종 시설 등을 보호하고 유수의 원활한 소통을 유지하기 위해 하천을 따라 축조한 구조물로서 침식 피해를 방지하기 위해 호안을 설치하도록 규정하고 있다. 호안은 만곡부, 하천 급경사, 지형의 간섭효과 등에 의한 유수의 침입으로부터 제방 및 하안을 직접 보호하기 위해 제방 앞비탈에 설치되는 구조물을 의미한다. 따라서 호안의 안정은 곧 제체의 안정과 직결되는 요소라 할 수 있다. 호안의 안정성은 역학적인 측면에서 외력과 저항력의 크기에 따라 평가할 수 있다. 국내 실무에서 적용되고 있는 호안설계 방법은 하천설계기준 해설(2009)에 제시되어 있으며, 경험과 이론의 양면을 고려하여 설계를 수행하도록 하고 있다. 이로 인해 호안 안정성에 대한 역학적인 검토 방법의 한계 때문에 과대 또는 과소 설계의 우려가 있다. 따라서 호안설계시 유속 및 소류력의 크기에 따른 정량적 평가기법이 요구되는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 호안의 정량적인 설계기법 개발을 위하여 수리실험을 통해 유속증가로 인한 호안재료의 이탈현상을 재현하였다. 실험수로는 폭 2 m, 길이 25 m, 수로경사 1/300의 직선수로 형태이며 우안의 1:2 경사면에 다양한 크기의 사석과 블록을 차례로 설치하여 실험을 수행하였다. 수리실험은 다른 하상변동 요인이 제한된 고정상으로 수행되었으며 정상류 흐름조건에서 유량을 변화시키며 유속변화 등 흐름현상에 의한 호안재료 이탈을 관찰하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 호안설계시 1차원 접근유속을 대표유속으로 적용하는 방법의 특성을 파악하고, 호안재료의 이탈유속과 흐름특성간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 호안설계시 입력자료로 사용될 수 있는 단면평균유속과 2차원적 국부유속과의 상관관계를 파악하여 호안의 정량적 설계기법에 활용될 제원결정 경험식을 제안하였다.

In this study, a prediction model for the effective compressive strength of corner columns with intervening normal strength concrete slabs was developed. A structural analogy between high-strength concrete column-normal strength concrete slab joint and brick masonry was used to develop the prediction model. In addition, the aspect ratio of slab thickness to column dimension was considered in the models. The reliability of the new prediction model was evaluated by comparison with experimental results and its superiority was demonstrated by comparison with previous models proposed by design codes and other researchers. As a result, with average test-to-predicted ratios of 1.09, a standard deviation of 0.15, the newly developed equation provided superior predictions in terms of accuracy and consistency over all of the existing effective strength prediction approaches including KCI structural concrete design code (2012).

This paper presents An efficient method of antenna placement considering EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) between equipments which are mounted on the UAV(Unmanned Air Vehicle). The analysis is accomplished for voice communication radio, control datalink, TCAS(Traffic Alert Collision & Avoidance System) and GPS(Global Positioning System) which are vulnerable to EMI because the frequencies are close to each other. There are two steps for analysis procedure : The first one is selecting antenna position on the UAV by monitoring return loss and pattern variation of each antenna. The second one is analyzing EMI via antennas between equipments. In the EMI analysis, spurious level of each transmitter, coupling level between antennas and system noise property are considered. This procedure can be used to predict EMI between equipments in development stage.

Precise control of antenna position is very critical in ArcSAR system which uses an arc-rail as a platform for the antenna movement instead of linear rail. In order to minimize the antenna positional error, we improved the motion driving system and applied a newly developed motion control S/W which utilizes the real time antenna position information from magnetic linear scale and encoder. The experimental results showed that the rotational RMS error was reduced to $0.0062^{\circ}$ from $0.0432^{\circ}$. In terms of antenna positional RMS error for the arm length of 3m, it was reduced to 0.324mm from 2.262mm. It is expected that the ArcSAR system can be used to monitor the sub-millimetric displacement of terrain and structural targets.
