A measurement system using stereo pattern recognition (SPR) method was configured to measure the rotor blade deformations and motions. An SPR-based measurement system was prepared using six stereo cameras. Through a series of experiments to evaluate the system measurement uncertainty, it was verified that the SPR system had less than 0.2mm standard uncertainty. The combined standard uncertainties for the lead-lag, flapping, and pitching motions were estimated as 0.296mm, 0.209mm, and $0.238^{\circ}$, respectively. The SPR system was installed at a general small-scaled rotor test system at Korea Aerospace Research Institute. The blade motions and elastic deformation were successfully measured under the conditions with rotating speeds of 360rpm or 589rpm, and collective pitch angles of $0^{\circ}$, $4^{\circ}$, or $6^{\circ}$. The advantages of the SPR system was analyzed in comparison with the measurement system used in Higher Harmonic Control Aeroacoustic Rotor Test -II.

A stress measurement method of structural member using piezoelectric property and electrostatic voltmeter is presented. The electric potentials of the surface of the piezoelectric element, which are proportional to the strain ${\varepsilon}$ on the structural member, are measured by an electrostatic voltmeter during load cycling. The stress ${\sigma}$ is calculated by this strain ${\varepsilon}$. Moreover, a stress distribution measurement tape which can be used for the stress distribution measurement along a specified line on the surface of structural member is developed, and the surface potential was measured by an electric static voltmeter of non-contact type. The applicability of the stress distribution measurement tape is examined through experiments using a notched specimen under cyclic loading. The measured distributions of x, y and xy are compared with those calculated by FEM analysis.

Several test methods, including micro strain/deformation measurement techniques, have been studied to more reliably measure the micro properties in micro/nano materials. Therefore, in this study, the continuous measurement of in-plane tensile strain in micro-sized specimens of thin film materials was introduced using the micro-ESPI technique. TiN and Au thin films 1 and $0.47\;\mu{m}$ thick, respectively, were deposited on the silicon wafer and fabricated into the micro-sized tensile specimens using the electromachining process. The micro-tensile loading system and micro-ESPI system were developed to measure the tensile strain during micro-tensile test. The micro-tensile stress-strain for these materials was determined using the algorithm for continuous strain measurement. Furthermore, algorithm for enhancing the sensitivity to measurement of in-plane tensile strain was suggested. According to the algorithm for enhancement of sensitivity, micro-tensile strain data between interfringe were calculated. It is shown that the algorithm for enhancement of the sensitivity suggested in this study makes the sensitivity to the in-plane tensile strain increase.

In order to ensure the safety of a structure, it is essential to put in practice all sorts of measurement from the plan and execution to the management by stages. These measurements make it possible to verify a propriety of a plan and forecast an accident or a collapse caused by long lapse of time, making use of accumulated data. Close-Range Photogrammetry is a method to meet improvement and development of surveting technique. which offered data for maintenance and management of a structure. Dus to applying this way. reliance on measuring a variation of structure. Besides, data of variation will be utilized for maintenance and management of a structure.

Loads on the pillar and ground deformation in 2-arch tunnel, which is excavated in the rock mass with regular discontinuities, depending on the dips of discontinuities and the construction sequences were experimentally studied. Large scale model tests in the biaxial test facility were performed. Tested model (width 3.3m, height 3.0m, and length 0.45m) for 2-arch tunnel in 1/10 scale were built with various dips. Test results show that discontinuities have greate affects on the behavior of the 2-arch tunnel, especially on the pillar loads and ground deformation.

A total of 22 sites around openings of limestone mine are chosen to assess rock mass classification schemes such as RMR, Q-system, and GSI. RMR and Q are modified to estimate the relationship with GSI. Q' is the modified Q with SRF=1.0 and $J_w=1.0$. Rock mass is assumed to be completely dry and very favorable discontinuity orientations are assumed to estimate ${RMR_{89}}^{\prime}$. Relationships of Q-Basic RMR, Q-Total RMR, ${GSI-RMR_{89}}^{\prime}$, and GSI-Q' are analyzed, in which a correlation of ${GSI-RMR_{89}}^{\prime}$ is found to be the highest. Failure strains are calculated using the modulus ratios and most measuring sites appear to be stable with low failure strain class.

Fundamental characteristics of giant magnetostrictive alloy $Terfenol-D(Tb_{0.3}Dy_{0.7}Fe_{1.9~1.95})$ are rreasured and discussed on the application for actuators. The magnetostriction is measured by laser displacement rreasuring system and the applied compressive stress is measured by load cell. Magnetostrictions increased as the applied compressive stresses increased. When the stress is 7 MPa, the magnetostriction is 1000 ppm at 1500 Oe. As the stresses iocreased from 0 to 14 MPa, the magnetic fields for saturating the magnetostriction also increased. The temperature increased during the experiment is $0.3^{\circ}C$, so the thermal expansion is negligible in these experirrents. The feedback or temperature control function should be added for the precise position control actuator.

Previous researches showed that confined concrete with Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) sheets significantly improves the strength and ductility of concrete compared with unconfined concrete. However, the retrofit design of concrete with FRP materials requires an accurate estimate of the performance enhancement due to the confinement mechanism. The object of this research is to predict the compressive strength and strain of concrete confined with FRP wraps. For the purpose of this research, 102 test specimens were fabricated and loaded statically under uniaxial compression. Axial load, axial and lateral strains were investigated to predict the ultimate stress and strain. Also, to achieve reliability of proposed strength and strain models for FRP-confined concrete, another series of uniaxial compression test results were used. This paper presents strength and strain models for FRP-confined concrete. The proposed models to estimate the ultimate stresses and failure strains produce satisfactory predictions as compared to current design equations. In conclusion, it is proposed that the modified stress-strain model of concrete cylinders could be effectively used for the repair and retrofit of concrete columns.

The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB) has been the most widely used apparatus to characterize dynamic mechanical behavior of materials at high strain rates between $100s^{-1}$ and $10,000s^{-1}$. The SHPB test is based on the wave propagation theory which was developed to give the stress, strain and strain rate in the specimen using the strains measured in the incident and transmission bars. In this study, the SHPB was directly designed and fabricated for the dynamic mechanical properties of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites. In addition, this apparatus was verified for the validity by comparing the strain data obtained through the high speed camera and Digital Image Correlation(DIC) during the high strain rate compression test of the self-reinforced polypropylene composite (SRPP) specimen.

Anisotropy in strength and deformation characteristics of isotropically consolidated sande prepared by pluviating through air was studied by plane strain compression tests. Seven types of sand of the world-wide origins were tested, which have been extensively used for research purposes. The strains for direction of bmazimum principal stress and direction of minimum principal strews were measured continuously from $10^{-6}\; to 10^{-2}$. The following results were obtained for all sands. The behaviour at strains leas than about 0.001% was elastic and isotropic regardless of the angle $\delta\; of\; the\;\sigma$ direction relative to the bedding plane. However, the sands became gradually more anisotropic as the strain increased to the extent exceeding the elastic limit. The peak strength was noticeably anisotropic with a similar trend. Thus, the angle of internal friction $\phi\; decreased \;as\;\delta$ decreased from $90^{\circ}$, and the ratio of the smallest to largest values of was between 0.82 and 0.90. The l has a minimum at $\delta=0^{\circ}~30^{\circ}$ depending on the hypes of sand. The residual strength became isotropic again.
