The structural material with the highest possibility of new materials that will be used in the future construction field is fiber reinforced polymer. The current studies on FRP members by using such excellent material characteristics mostly focused on stability, composite problem, and durability of FRP members. The initially constructed FRP members secure excellent stability and durability compared to reinforced concrete and steel materials, but measures for defections during the periodical inspection, methods for detecting breakages, and maintenance and reinforcement are not insufficient. Accordingly, this study proposed a measurement system using the FRP sensor to evaluate the safety of the FRP modular box member, and applied the phased array ultrasonic technique to detect the defects and damage likely to occur during the performance period.

A relatively low frequency Lamb wave-based damage identification method called damage imaging method for rectangular composite plate is presented. A damage index (DI) is generated from the delay matrix of the Lamb wave response signals, and it is used to indicate the location and approximate area of the damage. The viability of this method is demonstrated by analyzing the numerical and experimental Lamb wave response signals from rectangular composite plates. The technique only requires the response signals from the plate after damage, and it is capable of performing near real time damage identification. This study sheds some light on the application of Lamb wave-based damage detection algorithm for plate-type structures by using the relatively low frequency (e.g., in the neighborhood of 100 kHz, more suitable for the best capability of the existing fiber optic sensor interrogator system with the sampling frequency of 500 kHz) Lamb wave response and a reference-free damage detection technique.

In this work, a possible new PD detection technique, based on the Michelson Interferometer, has been proposed. Laser beam transmitted by optical fiber is spliced into two-laser beam by 50/50 coupler, one is reflected on diaphragm, which is vibrated by ultrasonic sound, and then modulated. The other one is reference beam. They are collected into 50/50 coupler making interferenced beam which could be detected by photo detector.

It is practically required to develop an optical transmission system, for the diagnosis of electric power apparatus, which enables to distinguish the right signals related to the partial discharge taken place inside the apparatus. These partial discharges are transformed into ultra sonic signals by the sensor and then used for the voltage application to pokels cell. Afterwards, the modulated laser beam is transmitted through the optical fiber. Throughout this work, a laser-beam based detecting system is developed and permits us to reproduce the transmitted signals indirectly without electromagnetic interference. For this purpose the characteristics of this system is well analyzed by means of different type of signals from function generator.

In order to comprise a basic closed-loop control system for a field robot it is necessary to detect the piston rod stroke of a hydraulic cylinder. There are mary conventional type sensors which can detect the displacement of cylinders. However, they cannot reveal the original performance normally or the cannot be applied at all where the operating circumstance of cylinders is beyond specifications of sensors. In this paper, an exclusive method for detecting the piston rod stroke is suggested, which adopts a remote detecting technique using optical fiber sensors. Several experiments using the prototype are executed for verifying the effectiveness of the suggested method and the possibility of the accurate detection of stroke.

In this study, a method to estimate the suspension bridge deflection is developed using mode decomposition technique. In order to examine the suspension bridge stability against these dynamic loadings, the prediction of displacement response is very important to evaluate bridge stability. However, it is recognized that any measurement of movement for suspension bridges may be difficult for the absence of proper methods to measure the displacement response on site. This study aims at suggesting a method to estimate the displacement response from the measured strain signals in an indirect way to predict the displacement response, not a direct way to measure the displacement response. Additionally, by applying the FBG sensors with multi-point measurements not influenced by electric noise, it can be expected that the technique would be applicable to infrastructures.

Thermo-optic tunable filter, with 4-pairs of H/L layers for DBR, was designed and fabricated. The transmittance characteristics of the filter were measured. Additionally, heating system and temperature sensor system were used in order to observe property of the filter by thermo-optic effect. The tuning efficiency of the filter was measured to be 0.144nm/K$^{-1}$ showing the tuning range of 9.4nm for the temperature variation of 64.7$^{\circ}C$. Filter, lens and fiber were aligned by micro-optical bench.

Active control of flexural vibrations of smart laminated composite beams has been carried out using piezoceramic sensor/actuator and viscoelastic material. The beams with passive constrained-layer damping have been analyzed by formulating the equations of motion through the use of extended Hamilton's principle. The dynamic characteristics such as damping ratio and modal damping of the beam are calculated for various fiber orientations by means of iterative complex eigensolution method, This paper addresses a design strategy of laminated composite under flexural vibrations to design structure with maximum possible damping capacity.

This paper proposes a thickness measurement method of silicon-oxide and poly-silicon film deposited on 12" silicon wafer for spin etcher. Halogen lamp is used as a light source for generating a wide-band spectrum, which is guided and focused on the wafer surface through a optical fiber cable. Interference signal from the film is detected by optical sensor to determine the thickness of the film using spectrum analysis and several signal processing techniques including curve-fitting and adaptive filtering. Test wafers with three kinds of priori-known films, polysilicon(300 nm), silicon-oxide(500 nm) and silicon-oxide(600 nm), are measured while the wafer is spinning at 20 Hz and DI water flowing on the wafer surface. From experiment results the algorithm presented in the paper is proved to be effective with accuracy of maximum 0.8% error.rror.

레이저 다이오드 구동 전류펄스기간의 발진주파수 변조와 간섭계 출력신호의 시간지연 샘플링을 이용하여 3x3 coupler등과 같은 특수 광부품을 사용하지 않고도 1개씩의 광원과 광검출기를 이용하여 측정신호의 변화방향과 함께 half fringe의 수를 count할 수 있으며 광연결선 주변환경의 변화에 의한 세기변화 에러도 피할 수 있는 간섭형 센서를 위한 새로운 신호처리방식을 제안하고 이 방식을 거울내장형 FP간섭계를 이용한 온도센서에 적용하였다. 온도센서소자로 cavity length가 1cm인 FP간섭계를 이용하여 실온에서 360.deg.C에 걸쳐 분해능 2.7.deg.C로 측정하였으며 이때 최대측정속도는 $ 1.378*10^{5}$.deg.C/sec로 계산되었다. 이 방식에서 분해능과 최대측정속도는 반비례 관계를 가지며 감지 광섬유의 길이에 비례하여 분해능을 높일 수 있다. 또한 6개까지의 센서소자를 한개의 광원과 광검출기로 모니터하는 다중화 센싱 또한 가능한 신호처리 방식으로써 불평형 간섭계를 이용한 모든 종류의 센서에 대해 적용이 가능하다.
