In this paper, a wireless sensing system for structural field evaluation and rating of bridges is presented. The system uses a wireless platform integrated with traditional analogue sensors including strain gages and accelerometers along with the operating software. A wireless vehicle position indicator is developed using a tri-axial accelerometer node that is mounted on the test vehicle, and was used for identifying the moving truck position during load testing. The developed software is capable of calculating the theoretical bridge rating factors based on AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Rating specifications, and automatically produces the field adjustment factor through load testing data. The sensing system along with its application in bridge deck rating was successfully demonstrated on the Evansville Bridge in West Virginia. A finite element model was conducted for the test bridge, and was used to calculate the load distribution factors of the bridge deck after verifying its results using field data. A confirmation field test was conducted on the same bridge and its results varied by only 3% from the first test. The proposed wireless sensing system proved to be a reliable tool that overcomes multiple drawbacks of conventional wired sensing platforms designed for structural load evaluation of bridges.

In this paper, we deal with some numerical analyses of a re-entry vehicle in a 2-dimensional plane as an optimal control problem. To reduce the dynamic load, the heat load and the oscillation in the trajectory, we researched the trajectories in which the load factor or the rate of flight path angle was minimized during re-entry. In addition to that, taking advantage of the monotonous subarc method and the folded time-axis method, we tried to find the heat-less and load-less trajectory with combinations of some sectional functionals so that we can achieve more comfortability.

To protect a satellite and electronic equipment from the acoustic load generated by rocket propulsion system, many launch vehicle use acoustic blanket. Acoustic load is main source of random vibration working on the payload. Most high frequency region of the acoustic loads is reduced by payload fairing skins and acoustic blanket, but low frequency region is not. In order to reduce acoustic load of low frequency region, we designed array resonator panel which was made of composite materials. Insertion loss capacity of the payload fairing with acoustic blanket was verified from PLF acoustic test in the acoustic chamber.

Vehicle dynamics control (VDC) system requires more information on driving conditions compared with ABS and/or TCS. In order to develop the VDC system, tire slip angles, vehicle side-slip angle, and vehicle lateral velocity as well as road friction coefficient are needed. Since there are not any cheap and reliable sensors, recent researches on parameter estimation have given rise to a number of parameter estimation techniques. This paper presents new vehicle model to estimate vehicle's yaw rate. This model is improved from the conventional 2 degrees of freedom vehicle model, so-called bicycle model, taking nonlinear effects into account. These nonlinear effects are: (i) tyre nonlinearity; (ii) lateral load transfer during cornering; (iii) variable gear ratio with respect to vehicle velocity. Estimation results are validated with the experimental results.

사장교의 케이블은 타 부재에 비해 단면적이 매우 작고 고응력 상태이므로 진동에 매우 민감한 부재이다. 따라서 사장교 케이블의 충격계수는 실제 차량의 주행으로 발생하는 동적 효과를 반영하여 평가하는 것이 합리적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 차량 중량, 케이블 모델, 노면조도, 차량속도 및 차량간격의 설계변수를 고려하여 중앙경간 230m 및 540m의 강합성 사장교를 대상으로 차량 이동하중 해석을 수행하여 케이블의 충격계수를 평가하고, 현재 실무에서 사용되고 있는 영향선을 이용한 방법과 비교하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 노면조도는 ISO 8608 규정에 근거하여 랜덤 생성하였으며, 생성 회수에 따른 케이블 충격계수의 수렴 추이를 분석함으로써 결과의 신뢰도를 확보하였다. 또한, 차량모델은 9-자유도를 갖는 트랙터-트레일러 형식의 트럭 모델을 적용하였으며 차량의 운동방정식은 Lagrange운동방정식으로부터 유도하였다. 해석 대상 교량은 3차원 유한요소모델로 구축하였으며 보강형과 주탑은 보요소, 케이블은 등가탄성계수를 갖는 트러스요소를 사용하였다. 이동하중으로 인한 교량-차량 상호작용 해석에는 직접적분법을 사용하였으며, 교량의 변위 오차율이 허용 범위 내에 수렴될 때까지 반복 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 실제 차량의 주행으로 발생하는 동적 효과를 고려하지 못하는 영향선 기법은 차량 이동하중 해석에 비해 측경간 단부 케이블의 충격계수를 과소평가할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study measured and compared the variation of ventilation rate and fan energy consumption according to various control strategies after installing wireless sensor-based pilot ventilation system in order to verify the applicability of demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) strategy that was efficient ventilation control strategy for underground parking lot. The underground parking lot pilot ventilation system controlled the ventilation rate by directly or indirectly tracking the traffic load in real-time after sensing data, using vehicle detection sensors and carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) sensor. The ventilation system has operated for 9 hours per a day. It responded real-time data every 10 minutes, providing ventilation rate in conformance with the input traffic load or contaminant level at that time. A ventilation rate of pilot ventilation system can be controlled at 8 levels. The reason is that a ventilation unit consists of 8 high-speed nozzle jet fans. This study proposed vehicle detection sensor based demand-controlled ventilation (VDS-DCV) strategy that would accurately trace direct traffic load and CO sensor based demand-controlled ventilation (CO-DCV) strategy that would indirectly estimate traffic load through the concentration of contaminants. In order to apply DCV strategy based on real-time traffic load, the minimum required ventilation rate per a single vehicle was applied. It was derived through the design ventilation rate and total parking capacity in the underground parking lot. This is because current ventilation standard established per unit floor area or unit volume of the space made it difficult to apply DCV strategy according to the real-time variation of traffic load. According to the results in this study, two DCV strategies in the underground parking lot are considered to be a good alternative approach that satisfies both energy saving and healthy indoor environment in comparison with the conventional control strategies.

This paper shows the fatigue durability test method for vehicle suspension systems. Durability should be assured for the safe driving during vehicle life cycle. A computer simulation for the vehicle dynamics was used to obtain dynamic loads that were required for the fatigue durability test. Durability tests were done for an Important load-carrying component of the suspension system. Stress analyses using stresscoat and strain gages were also done for the component. This study demonstrated an effective method for the fatigue durability test.

The structural behavior of the composite material light rail vehicle body are investigated. Composite material is very useful for light rail vehicle structure due to its high specific strength and lightweight characteristics. The main carbody is made of aluminum alloy. The side wall and roof with composite panels can reduce total vehicle weight about 2000kg. In addition, with the lower density of the foam, enhances lightness in the panel and to save the operation expenses. The finite element analysis code, ANSYS is used to evaluate the stability of the body structure under the various load conditions.

A road energy harvester was designed and fabricated to convert mechanical energy from the vehicle load to electrical energy. The road energy harvester is composed of 24 piezoelectric cantilevers and a vehicle load transfer mechanism. Applying a vehicle load transfer mechanism rather than directly installing energy harvesters under roads decreases the area of road construction and allows more energy harvesters to be installed on the side of the road. The power generation amount with respect to the vehicular velocity change was assessed by installing the vehicle load transfer mechanism and the energy harvester in the form of speed bumps and underground. The energy harvester installed in a speed bump form generated power of 7.61 mW at the vehicular velocity of 20 km/h. Also, power generation of the energy harvester installed in the underground form was 63.9 mW at the vehicular velocity of 28 km/h. Although the number of piezoelectric cantilevers was reduced by 1/3 to 24 in comparison to the previous research results with 72 piezoelectric cantilevers, similar power generation characteristic value was obtained within the vehicular velocity of 20 km/h by altering the vehicle load transfer mechanism and cantilever vibration method.

이 논문에서는 프리캐스트 바닥판 위를 이동하는 차량하중에 의한 바닥판 접합거동 특성을 분석하였다. 하중 재하를 위하여 프레임을 제작하였고 각 측정 장치를 활용하여 거동을 파악하였다. 바닥판의 정적응답을 검토하여 이론값과 비교하였고 그 특성은 매우 합리적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 동적영향 평가를 위하여 가속도, 속도 및 변위를 측정하여 시험에서 이동하중의 특성을 분석하였다. 이동하중에 의한 동적응답을 위하여 바닥판 진동수를 측정한 결과 하중 범위 변화에 따라 진동 특성도 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 연결부의 동적 응답은 연결방법에 따라 특성이 다르므로 설계에 주의를 기울여야 할 것으로 판단된다.
