This paper reports on a design of the footstep signal detection system using the seismic sensor. First, we analyzed the characteristics of seismic signal, seismic sensor, and the UGS(Unattended Ground Sensor) system with seismic sensors. In addition, we summarized the existing algorithms to detect footstep using the seismic sensors, and developed our low-power and high efficient footstep detection algorithm. In this paper, the sensor node operations are classified into three different steps and different resources and algorithms are applied to each step, not only to minimize the power consumption, but also to improve the performance.

Frequency responses for most of the local seismic sensors in Korea have been roughly checked by mutual comparison of Fourier spectra of seismic records from accelerometer and seismometer, both of which are installed at the same location. Especially, because the frequency content of the seismic energy is usually above 1 Hz for local earthquakes, the reliability of low frequency response could have not been evaluated. Fortunately a recent large earthquake, Ms=7.2 on 02/06/29 containing dominant low frequency energy makes it possible to check the low frequency response of the seismic sensors, especially EpiSensor and JC-V100. Considering two types of sensor pairs, (STS-2 and EpiSensor, JC-V100 and EpiSensor), the low frequency response of EpiSensor is confirmed first by comparison with STS-2 which has proved low frequency response. Second, reliable low frequency limit of instrumentally corrected seismic data from JC-V100 data is estimated to be about 0.03 Hz by comparison with EpiSensor data.

본 연구에서는 지진계 센서의 동적범위를 향상시키는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저, 센서에 포함된 저주파수 대역 잡음을 ARMA(Auto Regresive Moving Average) 모델로 모델링하고 시스템 식별 방법으로 그 모델을 식별한다. 다음으로, 모델링된 잡음과 지진파 입력을 칼만필터 식에 포함하여 칼만필터에 의한 지진파입력을 추정한다. 제안한 방법을 새로이 개발된 MEMS 기반 3축 가속도 형태의 지진계에 적용하여 성능을 검증하였다. 시험 결과는 제안한 방법이 단순한 LPF(Low Pass Filter)를 사용한 경우에 비해 동적범위를 개선시킴을 보여준다.

Sensor used by semiconductor process produced an MAP sensor and applied to several industry. Among those sensors divided as transducer which convert physical quantity into electrical value, piezoresistive type sensor has been studied for the properties and sensitivity of piezoresistor.

In this paper, modal control with direct output feedback is formulated in a systematic manner for easy implementation. Its application to the seismic protection of structural systems is verified by a shaking table test, which involves a full-scale building model and an active bracing system as the control device. Two modal control cases, namely, one full-state feedback and one direct output feedback control were tested and compared. The experimental result shows that in mitigating the seismic response of building structures, modal control with direct output feedback can be as effective and efficient as that with full-state feedback control. For practical concerns, the control performance of the proposed method in the presence of sensor noise and stiffness modeling error was also investigated. The numerical result shows that although the control force may be increased, the maximum floor displacements of the controlled structure are very insensitive to sensor noise and modeling error.

In this paper, we design a seismic data acquisition system(SDAS) and implement it. This system is essential for development of a noble local earthquake disaster preventing system in population center. In the system, we choose a proper MEMS-type triaxial accelerometer as a sensor, and FPGA and ARM processor are used for implementing the system. In the SDAS, each module is realized by Verilog HDL and C Language. We carry out the ModelSim simulation to verify the performances of important modules. The simulation results show that the FPGA-based data acquisition module can guarantee an accurate time-synchronization for the measured data from each axis sensor. Moreover, the FPGA-ARM based embedded technology in system hardware design can reduce the system cost by the integration of data logger, communication sever, and facility control system. To evaluate the data acquisition performance of the SDAS, we perform experiments for real seismic signals with the exciter. Performances comparison between the acquired data of the SDAS and the reference sensor shows that the data acquisition performance of the SDAS is valid.

The emerging sensor-based structural health monitoring (SHM) technology has a potential for cost-effective maintenance of aging civil infrastructure systems. The author proposes to integrate continuous and global monitoring using on-structure sensors with targeted local non-destructive evaluation (NDE). Significant technical challenges arise, however, from the lack of cost-effective sensors for monitoring spatially large structures, as well as reliable methods for interpreting sensor data into structural health conditions. This paper reviews recent efforts and advances made in addressing these challenges, with example sensor hardware and health monitoring software developed in the author's research center. The hardware includes a novel fiber optic accelerometer, a vision-based displacement sensor, a distributed strain sensor, and a microwave imaging NDE device. The health monitoring software includes a number of system identification methods such as the neural networks, extended Kalman filter, and nonlinear damping identificaiton based on structural dynamic response measurement. These methods have been experimentally validated through seismic shaking table tests of a realistic bridge model and tested in a number of instrumented bridges and buildings.
