  • 부산은 쾌적하고 깨끗한 도시환경조성으로 향후 2002년 아시안게임 및 월드컵 경기대회를 성공적으로 개최하기 위해 대기오염자동측정소(11개소) 및 대기환경측정차량을 이용하여 부산지역 및 주요 경기장, 마라톤코스 등에 대해 대기질을 측정하고 그 결과를 토대로 대기오염관리 대책을 수립하고 있다. 대도시 지역의 대기오염은 약 70% 가량이 자동차에서 배출되는 오염물질에 의한 것으로 부산의 경우 우리나라 제1의 항구도시라는 특성상 콘테이너 차량의 95%가 부산에 집중해 있으며$^{1)}$ , 매년 자동차의 증가율이 약 10%로 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며 낮은 도로율로 인한 자동차의 정체가 가중되어 대기질이 악화되어 마라톤 등의 도로경기는 차량의 배출가스에 절대적으로 많은 영향을 받을 수밖에 없는 현실이다.

  • This paper describes the principles and structures of an expert system for arrester diagnosis. The expert system analyzes and decides the arrester condition by total leakage current, its harmonic component, and temperature because the deterioration of arresters appeared in an increase of leakage current and surface temperature of it. Additionally, influence of system voltage harmonics and ambient temperatures on leakage current changes were considered in the design. The expert system is consisted of a data acquisition module and a computer for monitoring. The acquired analog data are digitalized and transmitted to the computer by an optical link which is free from interference.

  • A pilot field study was conducted to measure indoor and personal exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) levels using personal monitors from January to February in 1989. The principal objectives of the study was to design and evaluate the research protocol and the instrumentation performance for application to the conduct of a large-scale personal monitoring program. The mean CO concentrations in kitchen and in bedroom were 23.4 and 11.9 ppm, respectively, while mean concentration of personal CO exposure was 18.9 ppm. It was found that the mean CO concentrations in kitchen exceeded 20 ppm of the Korea ambient CO standard(8-hr average) not to be exceeded more than three times per year. The results suggest that indoor CO levels in Korean houses appear to be affected by use of coal briquette for heating any cooking.

  • I. 서론 : 공해방지법이 1963년 11월 15일에 최초로 제장 공포된 이후 14년이 지난 1977년 환경보전법으로 개정되어 다음해 7월부터 본법을 시행하게 되었는바 이때 환경기준에 관한 규정이 최초로 설정되었다. 환경기준의 설정목적은 쾌적한 환경을 보전하고 환경오염으로부터 사람의 건강을 보호하기 위한 것으로서, 최초설정 당시에는 아황산가스, 일산화가스, 질소산화물, 부유분진, 옥시단트 등 5개 항목이었으나, 시행령에서 구체적 기준을 규정한 것은 아황산가스의 1개 항목으로서 장기기준(0.05ppm이하), 단기기준(0.15ppm이하)의 2가지로 구분설정하였다. 동시에 보사부장관과 시.도지사는 전국 혹은 관할 행정구역내에 측정망을 설치하여 환경오염도를 상시 측정토록 규정하고 있다.

  • 원자력 발전소의 격납건물은 인위적 또는 자연적 재해로부터 방사능의 외부누출을 방지함으로써 공중을 보호하는 역할을 하기 때문에 지속적인 건전성 확인을 통해 안전을 확보하는 것이 필수적이다. 격납건물의 구조적 건전성 확인은 통상 주기적으로 콘크리트에 대한 비파괴강도, 균열 및 중성화, 프리스트레스 텐던의 유효 긴장력 등의 측정을 통해 수행되고 있으나, 이러한 검사는 국부적인 건전도 정보만을 제공할 뿐 격납건물과 같은 대형 구조물 전체의 건전성에 대한 신뢰성 있는 평가 결과를 얻는데 많은 시간과 경비가 소요된다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점은 최근 구조물 전체의 상태를 평가하는 방법으로 주목받고 있는 구조건전성모니터링(Structural Health Monitoring, SHM)기법을 이용하여 극복할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실제 운전 중인 격납건물을 대상으로 상시진동 측정을 수행하였으며, SHM 기법의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있는 동적특성, 즉 격납건물의 고유진동수와 모드형상을 제시하였다.

  • This paper describes the process of nanoparticle synthesis by laser ablation of consolidated microparticles. We have generated nanoparticles by high-power pulsed laser ablation of Al, Cu and Ag microparticles using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 355 nm, FWHM 5 ㎱, fluence 0.8∼2.0 J/㎠). Microparticles of mean diameter 18∼80 ㎛ are ablated in the ambient air The generated nanoparticles are collected on a glass substrate and the size distribution and morphology are examined using a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope. The effect of laser fluence and collector position on the distribution of particle size is investigated. The dynamics of ablation plume and shock wave is analyzed by monitoring the photoacoustic probe-beam deflection signal. Nanosecond time-resolved images of the ablation process are also obtained by laser flash shadowgraphy. Based on the experimental results, discussions are made on the dynamics of ablation plume.

  • Testing and validation processes are critical tasks in developing a new hardware platform based on a new technology. This paper describes a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of a newly developed MEMS-based wireless sensor node as part of a wireless sensor network (WSN). The sensor node consists of a sensor board with four accelerometers, a thermometer and filtering and digitization units, and a MICAz mote for control, local computation and communication. The experiments include calibration and linearity tests for all sensor channels on the sensor boards, dynamic range tests to evaluate their performance when subjected to varying excitation, noise characteristic tests to quantify the noise floor of the sensor board, and temperature tests to study the behavior of the sensors under changing temperature profiles. The paper also describes a large-scale deployment of the WSN on a long-span suspension bridge, which lasted over three months and continuously collected ambient vibration and temperature data on the bridge. Statistical modal properties of a bridge tower are presented and compared with similar estimates from a previous deployment of sensors on the bridge and finite element models.

  • To protect workers from industrial accidents, IoT hazard detection system using LoRa network was designed and fabricated. LoRa networks can operate with low power consumption, wide coverage, and low usage fees. The hazard detection system consists of a sensor unit, a transceiver module, a LoRa base station, ThingPlug, and a monitoring device. We have designed an optimal risk-determining algorithm that can send information quickly in a working environment. As measured by TTA, the implemented system has been found to be able to deliver the worker's location, ambient temperature, and carbon monoxide density to the administrator through the user interface. The implemented system showed a bit rate of 290bps and a maximum application range of 6 km.

  • A new button-shaped electrical device was developed for a smart fabric. This electric button can be sewn anywhere on the garment, similar to a traditional button fastener. t not only performs a decorative function but also makes the fabric suitable for use in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It has metallic through-holes such that it can be fastened onto a fabric by conductive sewing threads. When threaded through metallic holes, the button can communicate with the external device by transmitting and receiving data. In addition, it adds specific functions by stacking a detachable application layer on the base layer. It is robust to frequent washing, and thus has excellent repeatability for use as an IoT device. The feasibility of the electric button was successfully demonstrated by its ability to identify the physical activities of walking and running, monitoring ambient temperature, and turning on LED lights.

  • This paper presents long-term dynamic characteristics of a cable-stayed bridge where installed SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) system. Modal parameters such as natural frequencies and mode shapes are identified by modal analysis using three dimensional finite element model. The developed baseline model has a good correlation with measured natural frequencies identified from field ambient vibrations. By statistical data processing between measured natural frequencies and temperatures, it is demonstrated that the natural frequency is in linearly inverse proportion to the temperature. The estimation of temperature effects against frequency variations is performed. Mode shapes are identified from the TDD (Time Domain Decomposition) technique for ambient vibration measurements. Finally, these results demonstrate that the TDD method can apply to identify modal parameters of a cable-stayed bridge.
