스트레인 게이지 브리지와 한개의 진동변위 탐촉자를 이용하여 평판의 근접장에서 음향 인텐시티를 측정하는 방법에 대하여 설명하였다. 또한 구조감쇠의 모델링을 통하여 음향방사파워에 대한 내부손실파워의 비를 나타내는 계수를 정의하여 내부손실파워의 정도를 평가하는 척도로 사용할 수 있음을 설명하였다. 임의의 경계조건을 가지는 평판에서 2개의 마이크로폰과 1개의 가속계를 이용하여 근사적으로 측정된 음향 인텐시티와 본고에서 제시한 방법으로 측정한 음향 인텐시티가 거의 일치함을 보이므로써 제시된 측정방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 실험에 사용된 계(system)는 일반적인 해석에서 유체부하를 무시할 수 있는 계로 평판내부의 에너지 흐름에 비하여 외부로 방사되는 소음의 에너지 흐름이 매우 작기 때문에 평판내부의 에너지 흐름으로부터 방사되는 소음의 에너지 흐름을 알아내는 것이 매우 어려울 것으로 예상되었으나 본고에 제시된 방법으로 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 앞으로 본 방법의 측정 오차에 대한 면밀한 고찰이 있어야 할 것이다. 그리고 평판의 내부손실이 비교적 큰 경우에 본 방법의 실험적으로 검증이 필요할 것이다. 또한 실질적인 문제에 응용되어 얼마만큼 유용한 정보를 제공할 것인가를 살펴보아야 할 것이다.

Trusses are found in many common structures such as bridges and buildings. The truss is a fundamental design element in engineering structures and it is important for an engineer to apply the truss design to engineering structures by understanding the mechanics of truss element. In an experimental course, the experiment selves as an example of the usefulness of the Wheatstone bridge in amplifying the output of a transducer. With the apparatus described here, it is possible to obtain experimental measurements of forces in a truss member which agree within errors to predictions from elementary mechanics. The apparatus is inexpensive, easy to operate, and suitable as either a classroom demonstration or student laboratory experiment. This device is a small table-top experiment. The conventional strain measuring device is costly and complicated - it is not simple to understand its structure. Hence, strain gage and the A/D converter are assembled to come up with a load and a strain measuring device. The device was tested for measuring the strain in a loaded specimen and the results were compared to those predicted by theory of mechanics.

This paper presents a 3D touch pad technology that uses force touch sensors as a next-generation method for mobile applications. 3D touch technology requires detecting the location and pressure of touches simultaneously, as well as multi-touch function. We used metal foil strain gauges for the touch recognition sensor and detected the weak touch signals using Wheatstone bridge circuit at each strain gauge sensor. We also developed a touch recognition system that amplifies touch signals, converts them to digital data through a microprocessor, and displays the data on a screen. In software, we designed a touch recognition algorithm with C code, which is capable of recognizing two-point touch and differentiating touch pressures. We carried out a successful experiment to display two touch signals on a screen with different forces and locations.

본 논문에서는 다이어프램을 세라믹을 사용하여 2차 변환 소자로 금속 스트레인 게이지 대신에 thick film piezoresistor를 이용한 후막 압력센서에 관한 연구이다. 다이어프램의 미소 변형을 후막의 비저항 변화로 검출하는 압저항 효과를 이용하는 방식이다. 종래의 압력센서와 비교하여 크리프 현상이 적고, 안정성이 우수한 특징을 갖고 있다. 또한 저항선이나 박 게이지의 게이지율이 3$\sim$5 인 것이 비하면 후막저항을 사용한 경우, 약 15$\sim$20정도의 높은 게이지율을 얻을 수 있어서 측정범위를 넓게 할 수 있으며, 후막공정의 스크린 프린팅을 통한 자동화는 수율의 향상과 저 가격화를 실현할 수 있다. 또, 후막 저항형 압력센서는 두 개의 저항이 다이어프램의 중앙 부근에 위치하며, 나머지 두 개의 저항은 가장자리에 위치시킴으로써 미소 변형에서도 저항값의 변화를 읽을 수 있도록 하였고, 휘스톤 브리지의 연결 도체부는 Pt를 주성분으로 하는 conductive paste(DHC7085)를 사용하였다. 이렇게 설계.제작된 압력 센서를 지지대에 고정시킨 후 캡슐에 넣고 감도, 선형성, 히스테리시스 그리고 온도특성 등을 고찰하였다.

A energy equation for a thin plate and surrounding fluid is derived. The equation essentially determines the relation between internal loss of thin plate, energy of acoustic radiation, and structure intensity. We attempted to use this relation to measure internal loss of thin plate. The significance of this approach is that internal loss at any point of a thin plate can be measured. The quality of this measure is dicated by the accuracy of associated measurement systems such as structure and acoustic intensity measurements. A strain gauge bridge system has been developed to measure structure intensity of thin plate. Its performance is tested by experiments.

The instrumented Charpy impact test is generally used to evaluate the dynamic fracture toughness for varying engineering materials. However, the test is known to be difficult to evaluate the dynamic fracture toughness for very brittle materials because of the small crack initiation load. To evaluate the dynamic fracture toughness of verybrittle materials, it is necessary to develop a load sensitive instrumented tup. In this study, a polymer tup, which has small Young's modulus, is used for the instrumented Charpyimpact test and a proper testing method is developed. The results show that the developed method can measure rapidly changing loads from the moment of contact between the tup and the specimen to dynamic crack initation of the very brittle materials.

This investigation evaluates dynamic fracture characteristics of two alloy steels (STD-11 and STS-3) and a gray cast iron (GC-30). The dynamic fracture toughness of crack initiation and some of the dynamic fracturing characteristics were evaluated by using the instrumented Charpy impact testing procedures. It was found from experimental results for three kinds of materials that inertia force is directly proportional to impact velocity. The duration time of inertia force was found to be constant regardless of impact velocities in steel specimens.

In this study, a method using single Wheatstone bridge flexure has been presented to measure hinge moment acting on control surfaces of wind tunnel models. The structural simplicity of the flexure reduces difficulty regarding gauging and wire-routing, and also makes it feasible to install flexures even inside thin wings. Some flexures were designed and fabricated under typical aerodynamic loads in wind tunnel test, and the strains on the flexure according to applied loads were compared with the result of the analysis by finite element method. The relation between applied loads and output signals showed good linearity, and the standard deviation on the residual errors from linear equation obtained by least square method was within 1.0 % of the maximum design moments. In addition, the FEM analysis on the thickness of load-connecting part of the flexure showed that the sensitivity was improved as the thickness became thin as much as desired to avoid buckling.

This paper presents the design process and characteristic test results of tension sensors for measuring the ultimate tension forces of surgical wires. Three types of sensor were designed and tested for calibration. The first two types which transfer the wire tension to the sensing element by direct contact have too much hysterisis errors due to the firctional effect. This error can be considerably reduced in the modified structure, where a cover and a loading button is used to transfer force and moment to the sensing element. The strains predicted by theoretical equations agree well with those by finite element calculations neglecting friction and the strains by finite element analysis considering friction are in good agreement with those measured by four strain gages. The modified ring type tension sensor developed in this paper is expected to be useful for measuring the tension of surgical wires with nonlinearity of 1.31%FS, hysterisis of 5.74%FS and repeatability of 0.19%FS.

The instrumented Charpy impact test is generally used to evaluate the dynamic fracture toughnesses for varying engineering materials. However, the test is known to be difficult to evaluate the dynamic fracturetoughnesses for very brittle materials because of the small crack initiation load which may be engulfed by the inertia load of the instrumented tup. To evaluate the dynamic fracture toughnesses of very brittle materials, such as chalk or plaster,it is thus, necessary to develop a load sensitive instrumented tup. In this study, a polymer tup, which has very small Young's modulus comparing to one of the conventional steel tup, is used for the instrumented Charpy impact test, and a proper testing method to evaluate the dynamic fracture behavior of very brittle materials is developed. The results show that the developed method can measure rapidly changing loads from the moment of contact between the tup and the specimen to dynamic crack initiation of the very brittle materials.
