Mining activities focus on the production of mineral resources for energy generation and raw material requirements worldwide and it is a known fact that shallow reserves become scarce. For this reason, exploration of new resources proceeds consistently to meet the increasing energy and raw material demand of industrial activities. Rock mechanics has a vital role in underground mining and surface mining. Devices and instruments used in laboratory testing to determine rock mechanics related parameters might have limited sensing capability of the failure behavior. However, methodologies such as, thermal cameras, digital speckle correlation method and acoustic emission might enable to investigate the initial crack formation in detail. Regarding this, in this study, thermographic analysis was performed to analyze the failure behaviors of different types of rock specimens during uniaxial compressive strength experiments. The energy dissipation profiles of different types of rocks were characterized by the temperature difference recorded with an infrared thermal camera during experiments. The temperature increase at the failure moment was detected as 4.45℃ and 9.58℃ for andesite and gneiss-schist specimens, respectively. Higher temperature increase was observed with respect to higher UCS value. Besides, a temperature decreases of about 0.5-0.6℃ was recorded during the experiments of the marble specimens. The temperature change on the specimen is related to release of radiation energy. As a result of the porosity tests, it was observed that increase in the porosity rate from 5.65% to 20.97% can be associated to higher radiation energy released, from 12.68 kJ to 297.18 kJ.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of wrist and trunk weight loading using sandbags in stroke patients in order to provide the quantitative data for enhancement of gait movement. Method: Twelve stroke patients, who have been diagnosed with hemiplegia over a year ago, were participated in this study. All subjects were asked to perform normal walking [N], wrist sandbag walking [W], wrist & trunk sandbag walking [WT], and both wrist sandbag walking [B] and both wrist & trunk sandbag walking [BT], respectively. Eight infrared cameras were used to collect the raw data. Gait parameters, arm swing, shoulder-pelvic kinematics, and lower extremity joint angle were calculated to examine the differences during walking. Results: As a result, there were no significant differences in the gait parameters, shoulder-pelvis, and lower extremities joint angles, but significant differences were found in the range of motion and the anteversion in arm swing. Conclusion: Wrist and trunk weight loading using sandbags affected the movement of the upper extremities only while it did not affect the movement of the lower extremities. It implies that it can reduce the risk of falling caused by a sudden movement change in lower extremities. In addition, the wrist and trunk weight loading using sandbags can induce changes in movement of the upper extremities independently and contribute to functional rehabilitation through resistance training.

Miniature Joule-Thomson refrigerators have been widely used for rapid cooling of infrared detectors, probes of cryosurgery, thermal cameras, missile homing head and guidance system, due to their special features of simple configuration, compact structure and rapid cool-down characteristics. The thermodynamic performance of J-T refrigerator highly depends on the hydraulic and heat transfer characteristics of the recuperative heat exchanger. The typical recuperative heat exchanger of the J-T refrigerator has the double helical tube and fin configuration. In this study, effectiveness-NTU approach was adopted to predict the thermodynamic behaviors of the heat exchanger for the J-T refrigerator. The thermodynamic properties from the REFPROP were used to account the real gas effects of the gas. The results show the effect of the operating conditions on the performance of the heat exchanger and refrigerator for the given heat exchanger. The influences of mass flow rate and the supply pressure on the effectiveness of heat exchanger and the ideal cooling capacity are discussed in details.

In aerial cameras, image quality is easily affected by weather, temperature, and the attitude of the aircraft. Aiming at this phenomenon, based on the theory of two-step zoom optical systems, a dual-band optical-despun two-step zoom optical system is designed. The system has a small field of view of 2.00° × 1.60°, and a large field of view of 4.00° × 3.20°. In the zoom process, the wavelength range is 0.45-0.70 ㎛ and 0.75-1.10 ㎛, and the size of the optical system is 168 mm (L) × 90 mm (W) × 60 mm (H). The overall lens weight is only 170.8 g, which has advantages for miniaturization and light weight. At the Nyquist frequency of 104 lp/mm, the modulation transfer function of the visible-light optical system is more than 0.44, and that of the near-infrared optical system is more than 0.30, both of which have good imaging quality and tolerance characteristics in the range of -45 to 60 ℃.

본 논문에서는 비냉각방식 적외선 스테레오 카메라 시스템을 이용하여 고속으로 이동하는 고온의 소형 물체의 3차원 위치를 추정함에 있어서 무작위로 추정되는 그 위치를 확률 모델로 표현하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 확률적 위치 모델은 디지털 영상으로 인한 픽셀위치의 오차(pixel position error)와 비냉각식 적외선 카메라에서 영상을 취득하는 순간의 차이에 의한 지터오차(jitter error)로부터 유도되는데, 두 가지 오차를 결합한 통합 오차확률모델을 수학적으로 제시하고 실험을 통하여 그 효용성을 보여준다. 우선 본 논문에서 고안한 적외선 카메라의 지터 측정기를 이용하여 적외선 카메라에서 발생하는 타이밍 지터를 통계적으로 관찰하여 확률모델을 설정한다. 또한 디지털 영상의 스테레오 정합 과정에서 발생하는 픽셀 오차에 의하여 정확도가 떨어지는 측정거리를 확률모델로 정의한다. 실험 측정 결과, 지터는 가우시안 확률분포로 모델링하는 것이 가능하며, 픽셀오차는 균일 확률분포로 모델링된다. 이 두 가지 확률분포를 갖는 오차는 상호 독립으로서 선형 결합되는데, 전체 오차에 대한 확률분포는 지터오차 변수의 확률분포와 픽셀위치오차 변수의 확률분포를 컨볼루션함으로써 유도된다. 실제 고속 이동체에 대하여 정밀한 3차원 궤적측정기와 자체 구현한 적외선 스테레오 카메라 시스템을 이용하여 제안한 확률모델을 3차원 위치추적 실험에 적용한 결과 95% 신뢰도 구간에서 물체의 위치를 추정하는 것을 확인하였다. 즉, 물체의 위치를 정확하게 측정하는 것은 이론적으로는 불가능하며, 확률모델을 통하여 물체의 위치를 표현하는 것이 타당함을 확인할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 확률모델은 적외선 스테레오 카메라를 이용한 거리측정에서 부정확함을 확률적으로 모델링하여 위치정보에 대한 불확실성을 보정해주며, 특히 적외선 스테레오 카메라를 이용한 고속 물체의 위치추적 및 거리측정에서 이론적, 실험적 토대를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
