Dynamic deflection monitoring is an essential and critical part of structural health monitoring for high-speed railway bridges. Two critical problems need to be addressed when using inclinometer sensors for such applications. These include constructing a general representation model of inclination-deflection and addressing the ill-posed inverse problem to obtain the accurate dynamic deflection. This paper provides a dynamic deflection monitoring method with the placement of optimal inclinometer sensors for high-speed railway bridges. The deflection shapes are reconstructed using the inclination-deflection transformation model based on the differential relationship between the inclination and displacement mode shape matrix. The proposed optimal sensor configuration can be used to select inclination-deflection transformation models that meet the required accuracy and stability from all possible sensor locations. In this study, the condition number and information entropy are employed to measure the ill-condition of the selected mode shape matrix and evaluate the prediction performance of different sensor configurations. The particle swarm optimization algorithm, genetic algorithm, and artificial fish swarm algorithm are used to optimize the sensor position placement. Numerical simulation and experimental validation results of a 5-span high-speed railway bridge show that the reconstructed deflection shapes agree well with those of the real bridge.

During the process of excavation for substructures of buildings, precise and constant measurements of retaining wall displacement is crucial for construction to be complete and safe. Currently an inclinometer is used to measure displacement around the perimeter of an excavation site. The existing inclinometer system requires an instrument to be placed inside pre-bored holes for each measurement with an typical interval of two weeks. This makes it difficult to obtain continuous displacement data, especially during a critical time such as rainy season in summer. Also, the existing inclinometer is placed at certain distance away from the retaining wall system itself. Thus, exact measurement of retaining wall movement is compromised because of the distance between the retaining wall and the inclinometer. This paper presents the development of wireless inclinometer system for the displacement measurement of retaining walls by being attached directly to the retaining wall. The result of the application of the developed systems are provided with advanced ubiquitous sensor network (USN) system features. The USN technique incorporated into the system enables users to monitor movement data from wherever possible and convenient such as construction manager's office on site or any other places connected through internet. The research work presented in this paper will provide a basis to save construction time and cost by preventing safe-related unexpected delay of construction due to the failure or collapse of retaining walls.

경사계 센서는 여러분야에서 널리 적용되고 있는 센서 중의 하나이다. 특히 건축분야에서는 초고층 건물의 수직도와 수평도를 계측하고 모니터링하는데 적용되어 왔다. 최근 미소전기기계 시스템(MEMS: Micro Electro-Mechanical System)기술의 발달로 인해 많은 센서들이 개발되었다. 본 논문에서 논하고자 하는 MEMS형 경사계는 MEMS형 가속도계를 기반으로 한다. 정지한 상태에서 가속도계로 계측되는 정적 가속도와 중력가속도 사이의 관계를 이용하면 센서에 발생하는 경사를 계측할 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 원리 때문에 좀 더 정확하고 이점을 갖는 경사계가 개발되었다. 보 실험을 통하여서 레이저 변위계와의 차이를 검증하였다. 실험결과 무선 MEMS형 경사계 센서 시스템은 높은 정확도, 안정성, 장기모니터링에 대한 경제성을 갖는 유용한 시스템임을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 무선 MEMS형 경사계 센서 시스템은 건축분야에서 그리고 다른 여러 산업분야에서 정확하고 편리한 모니터링 시스템으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

It is announced a new procedure for the real-time overall hull response monitoring system depends on inclinometer sensor data. The procedure requires a few inclinometer sensors' data, located on the deck. Sensor data is used to obtain curvature values; and curvature values are used to find out displacements or relevant moment values according to pre-calculated moment-curvature diagrams. Numerical studies are demonstrated with reasonable accuracy for the pre-ultimate and the post-ultimate nonlinear behaviors. Elastic, inelastic, and post-collapse structural bending moment capacity determination of the hull has been presented. The proposed inverse engineering technique will be able to see the response of the hull in real-time with high accuracy to manage the course and speed when cruising or control the loading and the unloading process at the port.

In this paper, a digital inclinometer to measure the angle and acceleration signals of subject laid on Roll was designed. The designed system consists of a tilt sensor, biaxial accelerometer, microcontroller and BlueTooth module. The designed digital inclinometer was easy to handle and easy to wear. To evaluate the performance of the system, we measured simultaneously the angle and acceleration signals from the 3 subjects on the Roll with two instruments which are ZEBRIS and our system. The measured signals were processed by statistical method and then the correlation coefficient of 0.93 was shown. From the results, the designed digital inclinometer is shown to be useful in assessment of body movement.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the relative muscle activity on the erector spinae, gluteus maximus, and hamstring, using a non-visual feedback bridge exercise and a visual feedback bridge exercise with a tension sensor and clinometer. Methods: Twenty-two healthy subjects participated in this study. The study subjects performed bridge exercises without visual feedback, bridge exercises using a tension sensor, and bridge exercises using an inclinometer in the supine position, and the muscle activity of the left and right erector spinae, gluteus maximus, and hamstring muscles was measured while maintaining isometric contraction during the bridge movement. Muscle activity was measured by using surface an electromyography equipment. To standardize the measured action potential of each muscle, the maximum voluntary isometric contraction was measured. The bridge exercise was repeated 3 times for 5s each. Using repeated analysis of variance, we compared the significant difference in EMG activity for each muscle between the three experiments, and all statistical processing was performed using SPSS version 26. The statistical significance level was set at α = 0.05. Results: During bridging exercises, the asymmetry of the muscle activity of the erector spinae and gluteus maximus during visual feedback guiding was lower than that during no visual feedback. However, there was no significant difference. Moreover, the asymmetry of the muscle activity of the hamstring muscles was significantly lower during tension sensor visual feedback than that during no visual feedback (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that bridge exercise with visual feedback using a tension sensor and an inclinometer is effective in inducing symmetrical movement. When it is necessary to symmetrically adjust the weight load of both feet during the bridge exercise, it is effective to apply visual feedback using a tension sensor.

본 논문에서는 롤(Roll)에 누워 있는 피검자의 각도와 가속도 신호를 측정하기 위한 디지털 경사계 설계하였다. 개발된 시스템은 기울기 센서(tilt sensor), 2축 가속도 센서(biaxial accelerometer), 마이크로프로세서(single chip microprocessor)와 블루투스(BlueTooth module)로 구성된다. 개발된 디지털 시스템은 다루기 쉽고 쉽게 착용 할 수 있다. 시스템을 성능을 평가하기 위해서 Roll위의 3명의 피검자로부터 각도와 가속도 신호는 ZEBRIS와 디지털 경사계에 의해서 동기화하여 측정하였다. 측정된 신호는 정량적인 방법에 의해서 처리되며 그때의 상관계수가 0.93임을 보여 준다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 디지털 경사계는 몸의 움직임을 평가하는데 유용할 것으로 보여 진다.
