A health monitoring system becomes a very useful tool to obtain information on long term behavior of the important railway structures such as very long span and special type bridges. It can be also used to give a warning signal to the maintenance engineer when the structure shows abnormal behavior. However, due to long term use and temperature changes, the health monitoring system needs to be calibrated periodically. In this study, calibration and gauge factor readjustment process made for the health monitoring system installed in the railroad bridges and tunnel are reviewed and a few findings are updated. Future work will be concentrated on the long-term analysis of the measurement data and on the database structures so that the assessment of the structure is possible

One of the methods for investigation of mechanical behavior of materials is numerical simulation. For simulation, its need to model behavior is close to real condition. PFC is one of the rock mechanics software that needs calibration for models simulation. The calibration was performed based on simulation of unconfined compression test and Brazilian test. Indeed the micro parameter of models change so that the UCS and Brazilian test results in numerical simulation be close to experimental one. In this paper, the effect of four micro parameters has been investigated on the uniaxial compression test and Brazilian test. These micro parameters are friction angle, Accumulation factor, expansion coefficient and disc distance. The results show that these micro parameters affect the failure pattern in UCS and Brazilian test. Also compressive strength and tensile strength are controlled by failure pattern.

관성항법유도장치는 관성센서 출력에 대한 측정 정밀도를 향상시키기 위해 자이로 및 가속도계의 아날로그 출력을 주파수로 변환해주는 AF(Analog to Frequency) 변환기를 사용한다. AF 변환기 측정 신뢰성을 보장하기 위해서는 신중한 교정절차가 결정되어야 하며, 교정절차에 의한 교정시험은 주기적으로 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 양ㆍ음의 입력에 대해 각각 양ㆍ음 리셋전류를 갖는 synchronous charge balance type의 AF 변환기 교정방법에 대해 다루었다. AF 변환기 교정은 AF 변환기 환산계수 오차 교정 시험과 바이어스 교정시험으로 나누어 수행되었으며, 교정 시험용 프로그램에 의해 자동으로 수행되었다.

Most of gimballed inertial navigation systems(GNIS) are calibrated periodically to maintain their inherent accuracy. The existing calibration techniques using the conventional schuler test with the least square method and the multiposition test take a long time and have some problems in procedures. To solve this problem, calibration method using a linear Kalman filter is proposed by us. In this paper, the calibration method by the change of Schuler period is studied in order to improve the calibration performance of the gimballed INS. First of all, it is shown that the observability of Kalman filter is also enhanced the Schuler period is decreased. Simulation results show that the calibration performance using the present scheme is improved according to the decrease of the Schuler period and the calibration time is shortened extremely, too. And our proposed technique shows desirable estimation performance for the g-sensitive errors of inertial sensors in particular.

To maintain safety and reliability of reactors, redundant sensors are usually used to measure critical variables and estimate their averaged time-dependency. Nonhealthy sensors can badly influence the estimation result of the process variable. Since online condition monitoring was introduced, the online cross-calibration method has been widely used to detect any anomaly of sensor readings among the redundant group. The cross-calibration method has four main averaging techniques: simple averaging, band averaging, weighted averaging, and parity space averaging (PSA). PSA is used to weigh redundant signals based on their error bounds and their band consistency. Using the consistency weighting factor (C), PSA assigns more weight to consistent signals that have shared bands, based on how many bands they share, and gives inconsistent signals of very low weight. In this article, three approaches are introduced for improving the PSA technique: the first is to add another consistency factor, so called trend consistency (TC), to include a consideration of the preserving of any characteristic edge that reflects the behavior of equipment/component measured by the process parameter; the second approach proposes replacing the error bound/accuracy based weighting factor ($W^a$) with a weighting factor based on the Euclidean distance ($W^d$), and the third approach proposes applying $W^d$, TC, and C, all together. Cold neutron source data sets of four redundant hydrogen pressure transmitters from a research reactor were used to perform the validation and verification. Results showed that the second and third modified approaches lead to reasonable improvement of the PSA technique. All approaches implemented in this study were similar in that they have the capability to (1) identify and isolate a drifted sensor that should undergo calibration, (2) identify a faulty sensor/s due to long and continuous missing data range, and (3) identify a healthy sensor.

A novel method to measure the scale factor for the all-optical atomic spin inertial measurement device (ASIMD) is demonstrated in this paper. The method can realize the calibration of the scale factor by a self-consistent method with small errors in the quiescent state. At first, the matured IMU (inertial measurement unit) device was fixed on an optical platform together with the ASIMD, and it has been used to calibrate the scale factor for the ASIMD. The results show that there were some errors causing the inaccuracy of the experiment. By the comparative analysis of theory and experiment, the ASIMD was unable to keep pace with the IMU. Considering the characteristics of the ASIMD, the mismatch between the driven frequency of the optical platform and the bandwidth of the ASIMD was the major reason. An all-optical atomic spin magnetometer was set up at first. The sensitivity of the magnetometer is ultra-high, and it can be used to detect the magnetization of spin-polarized noble gas. The gyromagnetic ratio of the noble gas is a physical constant, and it has already been measured accurately. So a novel calibration method for scale factor based on the gyromagnetic ratio has been presented. The relevant theoretical analysis and experiments have been implemented. The results showed that the scale factor of the device was $7.272V/^{\circ}/s$ by multi-group experiments with the maximum error value 0.49%.

목적: 식품의약품안전청(Korea Food Drug Administration, KFDA)의 도움을 받아 1998년부터 2004년까지 장기간에 걸친 교정정수의 분석을 통해 원통형이온함의 모델별 안정성을 확인하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 치료방사선기관에서 교정을 의뢰한 이온함 중 Farmer형의 원통형이온함만을 대상으로 하였으며 모델은 PTW사의 30001 (30006), 30013, 30002, 30004, 23333과 Capintec사의 PR06C, NE사의 2571, Exradin사의 A12 그리고 Wellhofer사의 FC65G (IC70) 등 총 9개 종류의 이온함에 대해 에어커마 교정정수 및 물흡수선량 교정정수를 분석하였으며 에어커마 교정정수를 이용하여 계산한 물흡수선량 교정정수(cal. $N_{D,W}$)와 실제측정에 의해 결정된 물흡수선량 교정정수(mea. $N_{D,W}$)를 상호 비교하였다. 결과: 교정정수 변화를 분석해 본 결과, PTW사의 30013 (30006), Wellhofer사의 FC65G (IC70) 그리고 NE사의 2571 이온함의 경우 측정 표준편차 0.2% 이내에서 잘 일치하여 다른 모델의 이온함에 비해 안정된 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며 계산에 의한 물흡수선량 교정정수와 실제 측정에 의해 결정된 물흡수선량 교정정수를 비교 분석한 결과는 모든 이온함에서 측정에 의한 물흡수선량 교정정수가 약 1.0% 큰 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 원통형이온함의 교정정수 값들에 대하여 장기간의 안정성 평가를 토대로 임상에서 요구되는 이온함의 선택 기준을 제시함으로써 표준체계에 따른 이온함의 선택 뫼 선량측정의 정확성을 향상시킬 것으로 기대한다.

The major purpose of this paper is to develop an uncertainty estimate for the calibration of thermopile instruments used to measure solar radiation parameters. We briefly describe the solar radiation parameters most often measured, instrumentation, reference standards, and calibration techniques. The bulk of the paper describes elemental sources of error and their magnitude. We then apply a standard error analysis methodology to combine these elemental error estimates into a statement of total uncertainty for the instrument calibration factor. Our results allow one to evaluate the accuracy of a radiometric measurement using thermopile instrumentation in the light of the application, such as engineering test evaluation or for validation of theoretical models.

Neutron reference fields of Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) for calibrating neutron measuring devices to be used in radiation workplace monitoring consist of two kinds of neutron spectra, the direct and the scattered neutron fields, which are produced by using radionuclide neutron sources, 252Cf and 241AmBe sources. Necessary parameters for calibration such as the anisotropy factor of each neutron source and the room-scattered fraction of some neutron surveymeters in the KAERI calibration facility were determined by calculation or measurement. Spectral measurement of scattered neutron fields were performed at each reference calibration point using a Bonner Multi-sphere Spectrometer (BMS) and the dosimetric quantities for calibration also estimated from the neutron energy spectra which were unfolded using the BUNKI code.
