인공위성을 이용한 위치결정시스템인 GPS(Global Positioning System)는 mm 단위의 정밀도로 정적, 동적 위치관측이 가능한 시스템으로 현재 여러 분야에서 활용이 증가하고 있다. 특히 교량, 댐 등 안전이 요구되는 사회기반 시설물의 동적 거동을 기록하고 감시하는데 있어서 GPS가 새로운 관측시스템으로 주목받고 있으며 이를 실용화하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GPS를 이용하여 건물의 거동상태를 점검 하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 계절풍에 의한 초고층건물의 거동을 해석하기 위하여 건물 옥상에 GPS, 가속도계, 풍향계, 풍속계를 설치하였다. GPS와 가속도계로를 이용하여 건물의 변위 및 가속도를 5Hz로 관측하였다. GPS를 이용한 변위관측은 1시간, 1분, 1초 등의 간격으로 3차원 변위를 계산하였으며, 계산된 3차원 변위를 가속도계, 풍속계, 풍향계와 연계하여 해석하였다. 대상 건물에 대한 최대 변위를 관측한 결과 계절에 따라 큰 차이를 보였으며 건물의 안정성을 평가할 수 있는 척도인 건물의 고유 진동수의 경우 약 0.2Hz의 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 향후 모든 센서들을 통합하여 실시간으로 건물을 모니터링할 수 있는 시스템을 개발할 경우 건물의 안정성 해석 및 유지보수에 본 연구가 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A magnetic compass module must be calibrated accurately before use. Moreover, the calibration process must be performed taking into account any magnetic dip if the magnetic compass module has tilt angles. For this, a calibration method for a magnetic compass module is explained. Tilt error of the magnetic compass module is compensated using a biaxial accelerometer generally. The accelerometer error causes a tilt angle calculation error that gives rise to an azimuth calculation error. For error property analysis, error equations are derived and simulations are performed. In the simulation results, the accuracy of derived error equations is verified. If a biaxial magnetic compass module is used instead of a triaxial one, the magnetic dip and z-axis magnetic compass data must be estimated for tilt compensation. Lastly, estimation equations for the magnetic dip and z-axis magnetic compass data are derived, and the performance of the equations is verified based on a simulation.

The stress analysis of the pipeline is required in any kind of plant for its safe operation. For this, the displacement vibration data measured at many locations of the pipeline should be provided. In reality, the installation of the non-contact type displacement sensors such as laser displacement sensors or eddy current type proximity sensors in a narrow and confined region in the vicinity of the pipeline is almost impracticable. In this work, the general purpose piezo-ceramic accelerometers were attached on the measuring points on the pipeline and the acceleration vibration signal was acquired. The measured acceleration signal was low pass filtered and then downsampled. The resulting acceleration signal was transformed into both the time-domain and frequency-domain displacement signal utilizing the fast Fourier transform techniques. All the procedures are presented in detail. It is demonstrated that the measurement of the pipeline acceleration by using contact type accelerometers can be made for the purpose of providing the required displacement data for the stress analysis of the pipeline.

As the number of earthquakes gradually increases on the Korean Peninsula, much research has been actively conducted to detect earthquakes quickly and accurately. Because traditional seismic stations are expensive to install and operate, recent research is currently being conducted to detect earthquakes using low-cost MEMS sensors. In this article, we evaluate how a low-cost MEMS acceleration sensor installed in a smartphone can be used to detect earthquakes. To this end, we installed about 280 smartphones at various locations in Korea to collect acceleration data and then assessed the installed sensors' noise floor through PSD calculation. The noise floor computed from PSD determines the magnitude of the earthquake that the installed MEMS acceleration sensors can detect. For the last few months of real operation, we collected acceleration data from 200 smartphones among 280 installed smartphones and then computed their PSDs. Based on our experiments, the MEMS acceleration sensor installed in the smartphone is capable of observing and detecting earthquakes with a magnitude 3.5 or more occurring within 10km from an epic center. During the last several months of operation, the smartphone acceleration sensor recorded an earthquake of magnitude 3.5 in Miryang on December 30, 2019, and it was confirmed as an earthquake using STA/LTA which is a simple earthquake detection algorithm. The earthquake detection system using MEMS acceleration sensors is expected to be able to detect increasing earthquakes more quickly and accurately.

The major problems associated with the manufacturing processes of the microaccelerometer based on the tunneling current concept is the residual stress. This paper deals with finite element analysis of residual stress causing pop up phenomenon which are induced in micromachining processes for a microaccelerometers sensor using silicon on insulator(SOI) wafer. After heating the tunnel gap up to $100^{\circ}C$and get it through cooling process and the additional beam up to $80^{\circ}C$get it through the cooling process. We learn the residual stress of each shape and compare the results with each other, after heating the tunnel gap up to $400^{\circ}Cduring$ the Pt deposition process. The equivalent stresses produced during the heating process of focused ion beam(FIB) cut was also to be about $0.02~0.25Pa/^{\circ}C$and cooling process the gradient of residual stresses of about $8.4\{times}10^2Pa/{\mu}m$ still at cantilever beam and connected part of paddle. We want to seek after the real cause of this pop up phenomenon and diminish this by change manufacturing processes of microaccelerometer sensors.

관성항법장치는 관성항법장치를 구성하는 관성센서인 가속도계 및 자이로의 오차요소에 의해 수평축 항법오차는 슐러주기를 가지고 서서히 증가하는 반면에 수직축 오차는 기하급수적으로 증가하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 관성항법장치를 장시간 운용하는 경우에는 비관성 보조센서를 이용하여 관성항법장치의 수직축 항법오차에 대한 보정을 반드시 수행하여야 한다. 관성항법장치의 수직축 항법오차를 보정하기 위한 비관성 보조센서의 일종인 기압고도계는 계측된 대기압과 모델링 된 대기압을 비교하여 항체의 고도를 측정하는 방법을 이용하기 때문에 항체의 자세변화 등에 매우 민감하고 대기압 측정오차에 의해 매우 큰 진폭의 잡음 및 바이어스가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 및 시험을 통하여 기압 고도계의 잡음 및 바이어스 오차 성분에 의한 baro-inertial 고도루프의 성능분석 결과를 제시하고 기압고도계 잡음에 둔감한 INS/기압고도계 칼만필터의 설계 결과를 제시한다.

Accelerometers play a key role in the structural assessment. However, the current electric type accelerometers have certain limitations to apply some structures such as heavy cabling labor, installed sea structure and sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. An optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) accelerometer has many advantages over conventional electrical sensors since their immunity to electromagnetic interference and their capability to transmit signals over long distance without any additional amplifiers, and there is no corrosion from sea water. In this paper, we have developed a new FBG-based accelerometer. The accelerometer consists of two cantilevered type beams and a mass and two rollers. A bragg grating element is not directly glued to a cantilever to avoid possible non-uniform strain in the element. Instead, the bragg grating element will be attached to rotation part that rolled inducing vertical movement of the mass and support cantilever beams so that the bragg grating element is uniformly tensioned to achieve a constant strain distribution. After manufacturing, we will prove the performance and the natural frequency of the accelerometer through the experiment with a vibration shaker. The FBG-based accelerometer is developed for measuring the vibration not exceeding 50 Hz for the marine and civil structures.
