지구 물리학이나 의공학 분야등에서 이용되왔던 전기비저항 탐사법은 관심 영역에 전류 입력을 가한 후, 그에 대한 전압 응답을 측정하여 관심 영역 내의 전기비저항 분포를 규명하는 방법으로서 역해석 문제의 범주에 포함된다. 따라서 일반적인 역해석 문제가 지니고 있는 해의 존재성, 유일성, 그리고 측정 데이터에 대한 해의 연속적 의존성이라는 기본적 문제들을 가지게된다. 이러한 역해석 문제의 해결에는 정확한 정해석 풀이법과 효율적인 역해석 방법이 요구되어진다. 본 논문에서는 정해석 방법으로 유한요소법을, 역해석 방법으로는 전체 최적점을 발견할 가능성이 높은 유전 알고리즘을 최적화 방법으로 사용하였다. 기존의 역해석 문제의 해결책으로 제시되어왔던 기울기 방법에 기반한 결정론적 최적화 알고리즘들이 지니고 있는 국소해로의 수렴, 즉 단순한 전기비저항 분포의 불연속성 확인이라는 한정된 정보의 획득을 넘어서 실제 전기비저항 분포와 가장 가까운 분포는 전체 최적점 근처에서 발견될 수 있음을 보이고자 한다. 이러한 전기비저항 분포의 역해석적인 규명을 간단한 2차원 수치해석문제를 풀어보므로서 확인해본다.

Electrical resistivity of concrete can be measured in a more rapid and simple way for estimating durability of the concrete, however, carbonation causes a result of misleading for durability testing because carbonation leads to a significant reduction in the permeability and porosity of concrete. The purpose of this study is to estimate and quantify the effect of carbonation of concrete on a surface electrical resistivity measurement. Samples of three mixes with difference w/c were prepared and exposed in a carbonation chamber for 330 days. The results show that carbonation leads high electrical resistivity. The increase is substantial and has been shown to proportional to the extent of the carbonation by some of extent. The relationship between electrical resistivity and carbonation depth is taken in the study. Resistivity ratio of carbonated concrete to air concrete decreased significantly from the specific carbonation depth, however, resistivity ratio of carbonated concrete to air concrete had a linear relation with carbonation depth. From the relationship between electrical resistivity and carbonation depth, it is expected that the result should be subsequently used as a calibration curve for estimating carbonated concrete to overcome the interruption effect of carbonation on regular measurements of the electrical resistivity.

누전으로 인한 전기화재나 감전사고와 같은 전기재해는 저항성 누전전류에 의해 발생하므로 전선로에서 저항성 누전전류의 측정은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 합성 누전전류로부터 저항성 누전전류를 산출할 수 있는 이론을 제시하였고 이것을 실제 회로로 구현하였다. Multiplier와 저역통과필터를 통과한 합성 누전전류신호는 저항성 누전전류의 크기에 해당하는 직류 전압신호로 출력된다 따라서 Multiplier와 R-C 필터를 이용하여 간편하게 저항성 누전전류를 구할 수 있었다. 그리고 누전실험을 통하여 저항성 누전전류와 용량성 누전 전류가 합쳐진 합성 누전전류에서 저항성 누전전류를 정확하게 산출하는 것을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how middle and high school students represent circuit diagrams with different shapes but electrically same. What prototypes of circuit which students possessed were, how students represented the connection of resistors, and what criteria used while grouping the circuit diagrams were investigated. The participants were 10 middle and 10 high school students. The results show that they represented the circuit diagrams by the geometrical resistor configurations rather than physics principles, not considering the presence of a junction or a battery on the branch. This representation was constrained by the circuit prototypes. Middle and High school students seems to have the own way of representing circuit diagrams without considering physics principles.

The objective of this research was to develop a practical integrated approach using extracted features from electrical resistance measurements and coupled electromechanical models of damage, for in-situ damage detection and sensing in carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) composites. To achieve this objective, we introduced specific known damage (in terms of type, size, and location) into CFRP laminates and established quantitative relationships with the electrical resistance measurements. For processing of numerous measurement data, an autonomous data acquisition system was devised. We also established a specimen preparation procedure and a method for electrode setup. Coupon and panel CFRP laminate specimens with several known damage were tested. Coupon specimens with various sizes of artificial delaminations obtained by inserting Teflon film were manufactured and the resistance was measured. The measurement results showed that increase of delamination size led to increase of resistance implying that it is possible to sense the existence and size of delamination. A quasi-isotropic panel was manufactured and electrical resistance was measured. Then three different sizes of holes were drilled at a chosen location. The panel was prepared using the established procedures with six electrode connections on each side making a total of twenty-four electrodes. Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal pairs of electrodes were chosen and the resistance was measured. The measurement results showed the possibility of the established measurement system for an in-situ damage detection method for CFRP composite structures.

A long-term resistivity monitoring system has been developed for saturated cores in room temperature and humidity condition. A 3-channel water-pump continuously drops the water onto the top of saturated core sample surrounded by shrinkable tube as well as on the paper filters of the electrodes at both sides of the core sample, by which one can monitor the resistivity changes with maintaining full saturation of the rock core for a week or longer. Monitoring the resistivity changes has been performed with 3 kinds of rock samples including biotite gneiss, andesitic tuff, and shale for 9 days using the system. Consequently, it is proposed two hypothesis that conversion speed of temperature coefficient has close relation to the thermal properties of the rock sample and that the ratio of resistance between dry and saturated conditions for a rock sample can be related to the effective porosity of the sample. The ratio between dry and saturated resistance for the three rock types are 48, 705, and 2, while effective porosity was 3.7%, 3.3%, and 13.0%, respectively.

In this paper, we used the electrical resistivity survey as a simple and reasonable technique to evaluate the effectiveness of grouting. And, a mechanism was also analyzed to understand how the electrical resistivity is affected by the loss of fine material in the core of a dam. From this mechanism, it was confirmed that electrical resistivity value of the damage section may be up or down depending on the survey conditions. This result seems to be contrary to the previous study that electrical resistivity of the damage zone become alway low. To clarify what was investigated, the electrical resistivity before and after grouting was compared and analyzed. As the result, it was concluded that grouting effectiveness was successfully assessed by electrical resistivity survey.

격자망식 전선배치에 의한 전기비저항 측정기법을 이용한 침출수 누출감지시스템을 개발하여 그 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 현장모형시험을 수행하였다. 현장모형시험을 수행한 결과 침출수 누출지점에서 전기비저항이 크게 감소하여 누출지점을 정확하게 감지할 수 있었다. 격자망식 전선배치에 의한 전기회로적인 효과로 인하여 전기비저항이 감소된 지점과 동일 전선상에 연결된 다른 센서에서의 측정값도 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이를 보정하기 위하여 P-SPICE를 이용하여 전기회로 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 전기회로 효과를 정량적으로 평가하였다 P-SPICE 시뮬레이션의 결과를 토대로 보정계수를 도출하여 현장모형시험결과를 보정하였으며, 보정된 겉과에 의하면 전기회로적 특성에 의한 영향을 효과적으로 제거되어 누출지점에서의 전기비저항 감소가 명확하게 나타났다.

Clay mineral content of weathered zone is a key parameter for landslide studies. Electrical resistivity tomography is usually performed to delineate the geometry of complex landslides and to identify the sliding surface. In clay-bearing weathered zone, parallel resistivity Archie equation is employed to investigate the effect of conductivity added (resistivity reduced) by clay minerals of kaolinite and montmorillonite, which is dependent on their specific surface area and cation exchange capacities (CEC). A decrease of overall resistivity and apparent formation factor is observed with increasing pore-water resistivity, significantly in montmorillonite. Formation factor is found decreased with increasing porosity and decreasing cementation factor. Parallel Archie equation was applied to the electrical resistivity data from the test area (Sinjindo-ri, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea) which experienced land creeping in the year of 2014. A panel test with varying clay-mineral contents provides the best fit section when the theoretical section constructed with the assumed contents approaches the field section, from which the clay-mineral content of the weathered zone is estimated to be approximately 10%. Resistivity interpretation schemes including the clay mineral contents for land creeping studies explored in this paper can be challenged more when porosity, saturation, and pore-water resistivity are provided and they are included in the numerical resistivity modeling.

The electrical resistance measurement was investigated as a damage monitoring method. In this study, 0.5 wt% Carbon nanotube reinforced polypropylene (CNT/PP) composites were evaluated under compressive fatigue loading. The shape of specimens was $20^{\circ}$ curved round type. Compression strength and electrical resistance were measured at different sections of specimen during compression. The microcracks of CNT/PP composites were detected based on the changing ratio of electrical resistance. Micro-damage during compressive fatigue test could be detected by electrical resistance measurements. The reason is that the contact points of CNTs in composites decreased under fatigue loading. During compressive fatigue test, larger change of electrical resistance was detected at the microcrack sections. It was proved that microcracks could be detected by electrical resistance measurement under compression test, whereas the real delamination parts were consistent with the predicted results by electrical resistance measurement.
