국부적인 측정을 수행하는 일반적인 광섬유 센서에 비해 분포형 광섬유 센서는 광섬유의 길이방향을 따라 모든 위치에서 측정이 가능하며 보다 넓은 영역의 측정을 수행할 수 있다. 브릴루인 산란 분포형 광섬유 센서를 구조물의 건전성 감시에 이용할 때에는 광섬유 센서의 일반적인 부착 방법인 에폭시를 이용한 표면부착 방법을 사용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 에폭시를 이용하여 브릴루인 분포형 광섬유 센서를 구조물의 표면에 부착하였을 때 구조물의 변형률 변화를 광섬유 센서가 정확히 측정해 낼 수 있는지에 대해 유한요소법을 통한 검증을 수행하였다. 구조물로부터 에폭시, 광섬유 코팅, 클래딩을 통해 코어로 전달되는 변형률의 전달률을 해석을 통해 확인하였으며 변형률 분포로부터 에폭시 끝 단의 자유 경계면이 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다.

FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors and optical fibers were embedded into CFRP dry preforms before resin impregnation in VaRTM (Vacuum-assisted Resin Transfer Molding). The embedding location was the interface between the skin and the stringer in a CFRP-stiffened panel. The reflection spectra of the FBG sensors monitored the strain and temperature changes during all the molding processes. The internal residual strains of the CFRP panel could be evaluated during both the curing time and the post-curing time. The temperature changes indicated the differences between the dry preform and the outside of the vacuum bagging. After the molding, four-point bending was applied to the panel for the verification of its structural integrity and the sensor capabilities. The optical fibers were then used for the newly-developed PPP-BOTDA (Pulse-PrePump Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis) system. The long-range distributed strain and temperature can be measured by this system, whose spatial resolution is 100 mm. The strain changes from the FBGs and the PPP-BOTDA agreed well with those from the conventional strain gages and FE analysis in the CFRP panel. Therefore, the fiber-optic sensors and its system were very effective for the evaluation of the VaRTM composite structures.

This study explored the feasibility of utilizing an SWCNT-coated fabric sensor for the development of a wearable motion sensing device. The extent of variation in electric resistance of the sensor material was evaluated by varying the fiber composition of the SWCNT-coated base fabrics, attachment methods, number of layers, and sensor width and length. 32 sensors were fabricated by employing different combinations of these variables. Using a custom-built experimental jig, the amount of voltage change in a fabric sensor as a function of the length was measured as the fabric sensors underwent loading-unloading test with induced strains of 30 %, 40 %, and 50 % at a frequency of 0.5 Hz. First-step analysis revealed the following: characteristics of the strain-voltage curves of the fabric sensors confirmed that 14 out of 32 sensors were evaluated as more suitable for measuring human joint movement, as they yield stable resistance values under tension-release conditions; furthermore, significantly stable resistance values were observed at each level of strain. Secondly, we analyzed the averaged maximum, minimum, and standard deviations at various strain levels. From this analysis, it was determined that the two-layer sensor structure and welding attachment method contributed to the improvement of sensing accuracy.

In this paper, we present the simultaneous measurement of the fabricaition strain and temperature during and after cure of unsymmetric composite laminate uising fiber optic sensors. Fiber Bragg grating/extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (FBG/EFPl) hybrid sensors are used to measure those measurands. The characteristic matrix of sensor is analytically derived and measurements can be done without sensor calibration. A wavelength-swept fiber laser is utilized as a light source. FBG/EFPI sensors are embedded in a graphite/epoxy unsymmetric cross-ply composite laminate at different direction and different location. We perform the real time measurement of fabrication strains and temperatures at two points of the composite laminate during cure process in an autoclave. Also, the thermal strains and temperatures of the fabricated laminate are measured in thermal chamber. Through these experiments, we can provide a basis for the efficient smart processing of composite and know the thermal behavior of unsymmetric cross-ply composite laminate.

피복이 없는 FBG센서는 내구성이 약하기 때문에, 실제 토목구조물에서는 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 packaged FBG센서는 피복이 없는 FBG센서의 단점을 보안하고, 실제 구조물에 적용이 가능하도록 발전된 형태이다. 이런 packaged FBG센서를 이용하여 변형률과 온도를 동시에 측정할 때, 온도보정은 없어서는 안 될, 필수적 기술이다. 이 논문에서는 steel sleeve packaged FBG센서의 온도보정 기술을 도출하고, 콘크리트 보부재를 이용한 실험을 통해 온도보정 기술의 현장적용 가능성을 제시하였다. 따라서 이 논문에서 사용된 온도보정 기술은 실제 여러 토목구조물의 모니터링에 확대 사용할 수 있다.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of micro ceramic thin-film type pressure sensors based on Ta-N strain-gauges for high-temperature applications. The Ta-N thin-film strain-gauges are deposited onto thermally oxidized Si diaphragms by RF sputtering in an argon-nitrogen atmosphere($N_2$ gas ratio: 8 %, annealing condition: $900^{\circ}C$, 1 hr.), Patterned on a wheatstone bridge configuration, and use as pressure sensing elements with a high stability and a high gauge factor. The sensitivity is $1.097{\sim}1.21mV/V.kgf/cm^2$ in the temperature range of $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ and the maximum non-linearity is 0.43 %FS. The fabricated pressure sensor presents a lower TCR, non-linearity than existing Si piezoresistive pressure sensors. The fabricated micro ceramic thin-film type pressure sensor is expected to be usefully applied as pressure and load sensors that is operable under high-temperature environments.

Smart structure that contains sensors, which are either embedded in a composite material or attached to a structure, is currently receiving considerable attention. Fiber Bragg grating sensor, one of the optical fiber sensors, has been widely used to sense strain and temperature for smart structures since both parameters change the resonant frequency of the grating. In this paper, according to the various heating and cooling conditions the thermal behavior of unidirectional composite material was monitored by embedding the fiber Bragg grating sensors in the longitudinal and transverse directions of unidirectional composites. The thermal behavior of unidirectional composite material was monitored for various heating and cooling rates and applied pressure. It was found that the thermal behavior was unaffected by pressure variations and heating and cooling rates applied to the composites. The thermal strains were measured by considering the shift in Bragg wavelength that was generated by the thermal expansion of composite specimen. The longitudinal and transverse C.T.E.'s were also obtained from the corresponding temperature-thermal strain curves.

발파 하중에 대한 암석의 동적 응답 특성을 획득하기 위해서는, 내충격 고감도의 충격하중센서가 필요하다. 이러한 충격 하중 센서는 석영(quartz) 하중셀, 압전소자(piezoelectric element), 변형률 게이지를 적용하여 제작되고 있으나, 석영 및 압전소자의 경우 고가이기 때문에, 충격하중가압시험과 같이 압력 센서의 손상이 빈번한 경우에는 제약이 따르게 된다. 본 연구에서는 원통형 압축셀에 변형률 게이지 측정원리를 적용한 내충격 고감도 하중센서를 개발하였다. 개발된 하중 센서는 Nonex Rock Cracker (NRC) 구동 고속충격 하중 장치를 이용한 화강암 동적 압열 인장 실험에 적용하여 동적하중이력의 측정에 적용되었다. 그 결과, NRC 구동 고속충격하중장치는 암석 강도의 중간 변형률 속도 의존성 연구에 적용 가능한 것으로 파악되었다.

A method for damage detection in a plate structure is presented based on strain waves that are generated by impact or damage in the structure. Strain responses from continuous sensors, which are long ribbon-like sensors made from piezoceramic fibers or other materials, were used with a neural network technique to estimate the damage location. The continuous sensor uses only a small number of channels of data acquisition and can cover large areas of the structure. A grid type structural neural system composed of the continuous sensors was developed for effective damage localization in a plate structure. The ratios of maximum strains and arrival times of the maximum strains obtained from the continuous sensors were used as input data to a neural network. Simulated damage localizations on a plate were carried out and the identified damage locations agreed reasonably well with the exact damage locations.
