Measurement errors in a temperature measurement system are mainly due to the consisting elements' accuracies and the circuit parameters' changes following the environment variations such as temperature. Further, system's non-linearity makes the measurement accuracy worse, and accordingly a linearization method should be considered to avoid this worsening. In this study, an error-correction method and a linearization method are proposed and a system utilizing these methods is realized.

Measurement of elastic constants is crucial for engineering aspects of predicting the behavior of materials under load as well as structural health monitoring of material degradation. Ultrasonic velocity measurement for material properties has been broadly used as a nondestructive evaluation method for material characterization. In particular, pulse-echo method has been extensively utilized as it is not only simple but also effective when only one side of the inspected objects is accessible. However, the conventional technique in this approach measures longitudinal and shear waves individually to obtain their velocities. This produces a set of two data for each measurement. This paper proposes a simultaneous sensing system of longitudinal waves and shear waves for elastic constant measurement. The proposed system senses both these waves simultaneously as a single overlapped signal, which is then analyzed to calculate both the ultrasonic velocities for obtaining elastic constants. Therefore, this system requires just half the number of data to obtain elastic constants compared to the conventional individual measurement. The results of the proposed simultaneous measurement had smaller standard deviations than those in the individual measurement. These results validate that the proposed approach improves the efficiency and reliability of ultrasonic elastic constant measurement by reducing the complexity of the measurement system, its operating procedures, and the number of data.

Objective : Having a reliable and reproducible measurement technique to measure the sagittal contour in vertebral fractures is paramount to clinical decision making. This study is designed to determine the most reliable measurement technique in osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. Methods : Fifteen lateral radiographs of thoracic and lumbar fractures were selected and measured on two separate occasions by three spine surgeons using six different measurement techniques [Centroid, Harrison Posterior Tangent Methods and 4 different types of modified Cobb method]. The radiograph quality was assessed and the center beam location was determined. Statistical analysis including ANOVA for repeated measures was carried out using the SAS software [v 8.0]. Results : The inter and intraobserver variance of the Cobb method 4 and Harrison posterior tangent method were significantly lower than the other four methods. The intraobserver correlation coefficients were the most consistent using the Cobb method 4 [0.982]. which was followed by the Harrison posterior tangent [0.953] and Cobb methods 1 [0.874]. The intraobserver agreement [% of repeated measures within 5 degrees of the original measurement] ranged from 42% to 98% for each technique for all three observers, with the Cobb method 4 showing the best agreement [97.8%] followed by the Harrison posterior tangent method [937%]. Conclusion : The Cobb method-4 and Harrison posterior tangent methods, when applied to measuring the kyphosis, are reliable and have a similar small error range. The Cobb method 4 shows the best overall reliability. However, the centroid method and Cobb method using a fractured endplate do not produce an accurate result due to inter and intraobserver differences in determining the baseline.

수력학적 효율측정 방법만으로는 펌프시스템 부속장치들의 개별효율 및 펌프 자체효율을 명확하게 산출해내기 매우 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 최초로 지역난방 중온수용 펌프시스템에 최신 열역학적 펌프 효율측정방법을 도입, 수력학적 방법과의 효율 병행측정 결과를 검토하였고, 그 결과 기존 수력학적 펌프효율 측정방법만으로는 데이터 불확실성이 높은 반면, 열역학적 및 수력학적 방법 병행측정 데이터를 적용한 펌프 및 유체커플링 효율값은 상호보완적 역할수행에 의해 펌프성능 측정방법의 신뢰성 및 적정성이 검증되는 의미 있는 결과를 도출할 수 있었다. 또한, 지역난방시스템에 열역학적 펌프효율 측정방법을 적용한 결과, 최대 120 ℃ 고온 환경에도 불구, 매우 안정적인 데이터 측정 및 측정장비의 내구성이 검증되는 등 열역학적 측정방법의 신뢰성을 검증할 수 있었다.

SP 방법의 장점중 하나는 개인의 응답자로부터 다수의 응답(Repeated observations)을 받을 수 있는 점이다. 그러나 이렇게 얻은 개인의 다중응답을 각각의 응답이 독립적이라는 것을 가정하고 있는 단순한 모델링방법을 이용해서 분석하면 t값이 상향되는 문제를 가져올 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 다중응답의 문제(Reapeated Measurement Problem)라고 한다 본 연구는 다양한 접근을 통해서 이러한 다중응답의 문제(Reapeated Measurement Problem)를 다루고, 단순한 모델링방법을 통한 모델추정치가 신뢰할 만한가를 검증하도록 한다. 다양한 접근중에서 본 연구에서는 Jackknife와 Kocurs 방법을 적용하였다. Jackknife 방법은 JACKKNIFE란 소프트웨어를 사용해서 분석하였다. Jackknife 추정치와 Kocurs 추정치를 단순한 모델링기법을 적용한 모델추정치와 비교하여서 다중응답의 문제(Repeated Measurement Problem)의 발생여부와 모델추정치에 어느정도 영향을 미치는 지를 분석하였다. 단순모델링의 추정치와 Jackknife 추정치의 표준오차도 비교하였다. 결과를 요약하면. Kocurs방법의 추정치의 t값은 단순한 모델링기법과 Jackknife 추정치의 t값보다 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 이는 Kocurs방법은 파라미터의 유의성을 지나치게 하향추정하는 것을 의미한다. Jackknife 방법의 추정치는 단순한 모델링기법의 추정치와 계수값은 거의 유사하나 t값이 다소 적은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 단순한 모델링기법의 계수값은 정확하나 유의정도가 다소 과장되는 것을 의미한다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 사용한 데이터에는 다중응답의 문제가 존재하나 모델추정 티에 유의하게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다 SP 방법을 사용한 데이터를 분석할 경우 다중응답의 문제(Repeated Measurement Problem)를 분석하는 절차를 반드시 수행하여야 한다. 만약 단순한 모델링기법의 추정치가 다중응답의 문제로 인해서 영향을 받았다면 반드시 모델링 추정치를 보정하여야 한다.

A cost-saving feeding rate contro method for a batch reaction process is proposed by reconfigurating the flow rate control loop where the feeding rate is estimated by differentiating weight measurement. While the existing control methods require either a flow rate measurement device or a flow rate estimator, the proposed method is devised not to require neither of these facilities by directly controlling the tank weight with a time-varying set point. Experimental evaluation in a pilot-scale unit shows that the proposed method can significantly reduce the actuator hunting of the existing method where the flow rate is estimated by differentiating the weight measurement.

This paper presents a Modified Tikhonov Regularization (MTR) method in model updating for damage identification with model errors and measurement noise influences consideration. The identification equation based on sensitivity approach from the dynamic responses is ill-conditioned and is usually solved with regularization method. When the structural system contains model errors and measurement noise, the identified results from Tikhonov Regularization (TR) method often diverge after several iterations. In the MTR method, new side conditions with limits on the identification of physical parameters allow for the presence of model errors and ensure the physical meanings of the identified parameters. Chebyshev polynomial is applied to approximate the acceleration response for moderation of measurement noise. The identified physical parameter can converge to a relative correct direction. A three-dimensional unsymmetrical frame structure with different scenarios is studied to illustrate the proposed method. Results revealed show that the proposed method has superior performance than TR Method when there are both model errors and measurement noise in the structure system.

An ultrasonic method is developed for the measurement of the two-phase mixture level in the reactor vessel or steam generator. The ultrasonic method is selected among the several non¬nuelear two-phase mixture level measurement methods through two steps of selection procedure. A commercial ultrasonic level measurement method is modified for application into the high temperature, pressure, and other conditions. The calculation method of the ultrasonic velocity is modified to consider the medium as the homogeneous mixture of air and steam. and to be applied into the high temperature and pressure conditions. The cross-correlation technique is adopted as a detection method to reduce the effects of the attenuation and the dif.JUsed reflection caused by suface fluctuation. The waveguides are developed to reduce the loss of echo and to remove the effects of obstructs. The present experimental study shows that the developed ultrasonic method measures the two-phase mixture level more accurately than the conventional methods do.
