Abstract

This study presents reasonable relationships to estimate the deformation based on beam mechanism analysis and TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) data. To declar the length points of co-axial cable installed in civil structure, Nano material ($BaTiO_3$ powders and silver mixture) is used on co-axial cables. From the laboratory test, nano material could make the correct information about attached cable points on beam, and TDR sensor system and Fourier series (data filter) found out the deformation of beam. Therefore it is concluded that the correct deformed information of beam were acquired by Nano-TDR and Fourier filter, they are much more effective to apply at health monitoring system in civil structure compared to conventional TDR or Fiber Optic Sensor (FOS) systems.

이 논문은 나노물질이 결합된 시간반사영역기(TDR)의 보의 변형에 관한 실험자료와 기존 구조 해석기법에 따른 변형간의 상관관계를 평가하기 위한 것이다. TDR의 동축케이블에 일정한 간격마다 나노물질 ($BaTiO_3$ powders and silver mixture)을 결합하여 토목구조물에 설치할 수 있도록 하였다. 실험결과,나노물질은 보에 설치된 동축케이블의 정확한 위치정보를 알려주었으며, TDR센서시스템과 Fourier series 를 활용하여 필터링 된 실험 자료는 보의 변형을 정확하게 알려주었다. 그러므로, 나노-TDR시스템과 Fourier filter를 활용하여 보의 변형에 관한 정확한 모니터링이 가능하였으며, 변형에 관한 보다 나은 해석이 가능하다는 점에서 기존의 TDR센서 혹은 광섬유 센서보다 진보한 시스템이라 할 수 있다.
