This study investigates the effect of the deformation on the sensitivity of a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane sensor. A PDMS membrane sensor was developed to measure the impact force of a water droplet using a silver nanowire (AgNW). The initial deformation of the membrane was confirmed with the application of a tensile force (i.e., tension) and fixing force (i.e., compressive force) at the gripers, which affects the sensitivity. The experimental results show that as the tension applied to the membrane increased, the sensitivity of the sensor decreased. The initial electrical resistance increased as the fixing force increased, while the sensitivity of the sensor decreased as the initial resistance increased. The movement of the membrane due to the impact force of the water droplet was observed with a high-speed camera, and was correlated with the measured sensor signal. The analysis of the motion of the membrane and droplets after collision confirmed the periodic movement of not only the membrane but also the change in the height of the droplet.

최근 u-IT기술 발전과 디지털 컨버전스화를 넘어 이종 산업간 IT중심의 융 복합화가 빠르게 진행되고 있다. IT기반 타산업과의 융합 중 자동차-IT 융합 분야는 첨단 IT 신기술을 기반으로 자동차의 센서 및 전자장치가 지능적 유기적으로 상호작용하여, 운전자의 안전 및 편의성을 증대시켜 최적의 운전환경을 제공하고, 미래형자동차 산업에 부가가치를 창출하는 산업이다. 자동차에 실리는 전장부품 탑재가 급격히 증가함에 따라 자동차가 기계업종보다는 전자업종에 가깝다는 인식이 증가되는 가운데, 교통 상황을 검지하여 운전자에게 올바른 정보(경고)를 알려주거나 제어기에 정확한 상황 정보를 알려주는 센서 기술은 고안전 지능형 자동차 기술의 시작이면서 가장 중요한 핵심 부품이다. 이에 본고에서는 차량용 센서 산업의 특성 및 구조을 알아보고, 향후 자동차-IT 융합산업의 발전을 위해 차량용 센서 산업에 대한 정책적 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

The study about VR (Virtual Reality) has been done from the 1960s, but technical limits and high cost made VR hard to commercialize. However, in recent, high resolution display, computing power and 3D sensing have developed and hardware has become affordable. Therefore, normal users can get high quality of immersion and interaction. However, HMD devices which offer VR environment have high latency, so it disrupts the VR environment. People are usually sensitive to relative latency over 20ms. In this paper, as adding the Electromyogram (EMG) sensors to typical IMU sensor only system, the latency reduction method is proposed. By changing software and hardware components, some cases the latency was reduced significantly. Hence, this study covers the possibility and the experimental verification about EMG sensors for reducing the latency.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the tribological characteristics of the Electronic control suspension System in a car. In the first example, the cilp used to attach the front electronic control suspension(ECS) system's control actuator was fastened very tightly. Thus, the wire was cut because of continual rotation of the shock-up shover piston rod used to adjust the height of the car. This verified the disconnection phenomenon where wire damaged makes it impossible for the ECS system to send signal to the actuator. The second example, involved a minute hole that allowed gas to leak from the ECS system. As a result, the height of the car verified the down phenomenon. In the third example, the resistance of a wire measured at $0.21{\Omega}$, when the G sensor was disconnected from the system. This verified the system shutdown and lighting of the ECS warning lamp because of body interference caused by a slight pressure on the battery cover. Therefore, quality control is always necessary to ensure safety and durability of a car.

In this paper, a robust model based fault detection for varying temperature is proposed, To develop a robust force estimation model, it needs temperature information because the force sensor's output is affected by a temperature variation. If an EPB system does not include a temperature sensor, the model has a much larger error than an EPB system with a built-in temperature sensor. Therefore, the temperature is estimated by using Ohm's law. The force model is applied with a motor current, battery voltage, operation mode, and the estimated temperature to detect a force sensor's abnormal signal fault. The residual is calculated by comparing the value of the measured force and the estimated force. Fault information is collected by using the output of the evaluated residual with the adaptive thresholds. A proposed robust model based fault detection for varying temperature was verified by HILS (Hardware in the Loop Simulation).

In this study, we investigated the detection properties of piezoresistive carbon nanotubes/polydimethylsiloxane (CNT/PDMS) devices with porous structures under applied pressure. The device, having dimensions of 10 mm × 10 mm × 5 mm, was fabricated with a porosity of 74.5%. To fabricate piezoresistive CNT/PDMS devices, CNTs were added using two different methods. In the first method, the CNTs were mixed with PDMS before the fabrication of the porous structure, while in the second, the CNTs were coated after the fabrication of the porous structure. Various detection properties of the fabricated devices were examined at different applied pressures. The CNT-coated device exhibited stable outputs with lesser variation than the CNT-mixed device. Moreover, the CNT-coated device exhibited improved reaction properties. The response time of the CNT-coated device was 1 min, which was approximately about 20 times faster than that of the CNT-mixed device. Considering these properties, CNT-coated devices are more suitable for sensing devices. To verify the CNT-coated device as a real sensor, it was applied to the gripping sensor system. A multichannel sensor system was used to measure the pressure distribution of the gripping sensor system. Under various gripping conditions, this system successfully measured the distributed pressures and exhibited stable dynamic responses.

이 논문은 자동차의 전자제어 에어컨에서 발생하는 고장사례에 대한 논문이다. 첫 번째 사례에서, 원인은 에어컨 릴레이 내부에 서지 전압 역류 방지용으로 사용된 다이오드가 에어컨이 OFF 되었을 때 다이오드의 단락으로 인해, 서지 전압을 흡수하지 못해 퓨즈가 반복적으로 끊어진 것을 확인하였다. 두 번째 사례에서, 원인은 핀 써모센서 내부의 단선으로 인해 에어컨을 제어하지 못함으로써 이베퍼레이터의 동결현상이 발생한 것을 확인하였다. 세 번째 사례에서, 원인은 운전석 앞쪽의 크래쉬 패드 하단에 있는 와이어링의 에어컨 핀센서 핀과 연결되는 배선이 차체와의 간섭으로 인해, 피복이 벗져져 단락(short)현상에 의해 에어컨 스위치와 핀센서가 소손되어 에어컨이 작동하지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 이러한 고장 현상을 철저하게 확인하고 개선하여 최적의 시스템을 유지할 수 있도록 하여야 한다.

In this paper, deformation of dust cap in the automotive wheel bearing produced during press-fit process was numerically analyzed. The commercial software, MSC.MARC which is based on the finite element method was used to calculate the deformation. From those results, interference between dust cap and sensor was investigated. To verify the analysis results, experiments were performed and compared experiment results with analysis results. To avoid the interference between dust cap and sensor, 4 modified designs were proposed and the best design was derived from them.
