This Electromagnetic metal piece detection sensor, having high sensitivity even under high humidity and dust density, using LVDT was investigated. Metal detection characteristics using phase detection method, for 3 frequencies covering ELF and LF band, were experimentally measured. It was found that the sensitivity for metal and animal food, in which metal piece was included, was exponentially increased as frequency increased. Reducing cutoff frequency of LPF after PD was found to be effective to proportionally increase sensitivity. Also the sensitivity of metal piece detection was enhanced by optimizing BPF bandwidth and SNR. Metal piece detection limit using available ferrous test samples was found to be 0.7mm diameter from the experiment using 50kHz, in ELF band, which was known to have better selectivity to animal food. is an example of ABSTRACT format.

This paper describes structural optimization of optical fiber-wound mandrel hydrophones with Finite Element Method (FEM). The hydrophone is supposed to have operation frequency range of up to 10 kHz and show omni-directional sensitivity pattern at 5 kHz. Studied parameters are mandrel geometry, molding thickness, and material properties of constitutional parts of the hydrophone. Theoretical calculation result shows that pressure sensitivity of the hydrophone increased as either mandrel length or molding thickness gets larger. Also higher pressure sensitivity requires a mandrel or molding material with relatively low Youngs modulus or Poissons ratio. Hydrophone bandwidth increases either as the mandrel length becomes shorter or as the mandrel becomes harder. The omni-directional characteristic is improved as the mandrel length becomes shorter, at 5 kHz. With the above results, we determine the structure of an optical fiber-wound mandrel hydrophone which has the pressure sensitivity of $30 {\times} 10_{-7}$ Rad./Pa, operation frequency range of up to 10 kHz, and shows omni-directional sensitivity pattern at 5 kHz.

The electronic components in mobile device are composed of electronic chips and various other materials. These components become extremely thin and the constituent materials have different coefficient of thermal expansion, so that considerable warpages occurs easily due to temperature change or external load. Shadow $moir{\acute{e}}$ is non-contact, whole field technique for measuring out-of-plane displacement, but the measurement sensitivity is not less than $50{\mu}m/fringe$, which is not suitable for measuring the warpage of the electronic components. In this paper, we implemented a measurement method with enhanced sensitivity of $25{\mu}m/fringe$ by investigating and optimizing various experimental conditions of the shadow $moir{\acute{e}}$. In addition, four $moir{\acute{e}}$ fringe patterns recorded by the phase shift are processes to obtain a $moir{\acute{e}}$ fringe patterns with a sensitivity four times higher. The measurement technique is applied to small electronic components of a smart phone for measuring warpage with a high sensitivity of $5{\mu}m/fringe$ at room temperature and at the temperature of $100^{\circ}C$.

An efficient optimization procedure combining the frequency approximation technique and the component-mode synthesis method is proposed for the structural dynamic optimization of the large structures subject to prescribed natural frequency constraints. Frequency constraints are approximated by using the first-order sensitivities with respect to both design parameters and their reciprocals. The component-mode synthesis method proposed by the authors in Ref.[8] is used for the repetitive detail finite-element analysis and sensitivity analysis. The validity of the proposed optimization procedure is confirmed through the numerical implementation of some examples. The presented approximation technique requires much smaller number of repetitive analysis than that using the sensitivities with respect to design parameters only, and further improvement in the numerical efficiency is achieved by the adoption of the introduced component-mode synthesis.

An equation of material number density sensitivity coefficient is derived using first-order perturbation theory. The beginning of cycle of Super-Phenix I is taken as the reference system for this study. Effective multiplication factor of the reference system is defined as system response function and fuel enrichment and fuel effective density are chosen for the variation of reference input data since they are described by material number density which is a component of Boltzmann operator. The nuclear computational code system (KAERI-26 group cross section library/1DX/2DB/PERT-V) is employed for this calculation. Sensitivity coefficient of fuel enrichment on effective multiplication factor is 4.576 and sensitivity coefficient of effective fuel density on effective multiplication factor is 0.0756. This work shows that sensitivity methodology is lesser timeconsuming and gives more informations on important design parameters in comparison with the direct iterative calulation through large computer codes.

오늘날 널리 연구되고 있고 공학자들에게 많은 관심을 끌고있는 압전 세라믹(ceramic)을 이용 하여 자연계에서 일어나는 각종 진동현상을 측정하고 해석하기 위한 센서(sensor)의 설계, 제작은 이미 선진국에서도 보편화된지 오래이다. 특히 압전형 가속도계(piezo type accelerometer)는 진동의 절대 측정에 가장 유용한 센서로 널리 알려져 있다. (1) 아주 넓은 사용 주파수 범위 (2) 넓은 동적범위(dynamic range)에 걸친 뛰어난 선형성(linearity) (3) 측정된 가속도 신호를 전기적으로 적분하여 속도와 변위에 대한 자료 제공 용이 (4) 높은 정확성 (5) 자발 전(self-generating)이므로 외부 전원 공급이 불필요 (6) 수명과 뛰어난 내구성 (7) 작은 크기와 가벼운 무게 등이다. 현재 기계 구조물 진동 측정에 이용되고 있는 스트레인 게이지 형(strain gage-type)의 가속도계는 감도가 좋고 저주파 진동 측정에는 편리한 반면 충격이나 높은 주파수 전동 측정에는 적합하지 않으며 내부 구조가 다소 복잡하다(2). 반면에 압전형 가 속도계는 압전 소자와 관성 질량의 조합 설계로서 저주파 진동 측정에 적합한 고감도의 가속도 계와, 감도는 떨어지나 아주 높은 주파수 범위의 진동까지 측정이 가능한 가속도계를 손쉽게 설계, 제작할 수 있다. 본 글에서는 선진국에 비해 낙후된 국내의 센서 설계, 제작 기술을 고 양시키고자 최근 한국과학기술원에서 시도된 압전형 가속도계의 개발 연구 사례를 중심으로 설계 및 제작시 고려 사항과 보정 문제를 소개하고자 한다.

It is common to predict structural dynamic design parameters due to the change of design parameter, but to predict the amount of changed design parameter where the mass and stiffness are being modified are rarely found in previous literature. In this study, the changed design parameter in a proportional damping system is predicted by using sensitivity coefficients and an iterative method. The sensitivity coefficients are determined from the changes in eigenvectors; these changes are due to modification. This method is applied to a three-story shear structure. To validate the prediction of the changed design parameter, the results are compared to the reanalysis results; both results are in good agreement.

We have simulated the operating characteristics of the magnetotransistor(MAGFET) by the finite element method and suggested the optimum design conditions to get a maximum sensitivity, The magnetotransistor has been fabricated by CMOS standard processing according to the suggested design conditions and investigated its electromagnetic characteristics. The sensitivity of the magnetotransistor depends on the ratio of width(W) to length(L) of active area rather than its size, and has a maximum when W/L = 1. The relative sensitivity of a fabricated magnetotransistor was 2.53 %/T.

본 논문은 실내사격장 화재 원인에 대한 조사를 위하여 권총 사용에 따른 화약잔사 양에 대한 실측 및 발화특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 화약잔사 양의 실측은 1차로 사대 부분을 밀폐한 상태에서 실내사격장에 사용되는 권총과 동일한 구경 0.38인치 권총 및 구경 9mm 권총을 5발 발사하여 총구 및 약실로 분출되는 화약잔사의 양을 측정하였으며, 2차로 사대 개방 후, 구경 0.38인치 권총을 100발 발사하는 경우, 사대 바닥면에 떨어지는 화약잔사의 양을 측정하였다. 화약잔사에 대한 발화특성은 충격 감도, 정전기 감도, 마찰 감도 및 발화점 시험을 실시하였으며, 비교 평가에는 권총에 일반적으로 사용되는 사용전의 화약(ball powder)을 이용하여 화약잔사와 동일한 시험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 충격감도 및 마찰강도는 화약잔사에서 다소 높게 측정되었으며, 발화점 시험에서는 화약잔사가 비교대상인 사용전의 화약에 비해 낮은 온도에서 발화되는 특성을 나타내었다.

A finite model eye of visual acuity 24/20 in emmertropia was presented. We determined the image intensity profile on retina using optical transfer function of model eye, and compared with clinical data. The retinal contrast sensitivity function based on the Stiles-Crawford effect, photopic response, diffraction, aberration, retinal contrast sensitivity, and pupil size is calculated. Visual acuity for human eye could be predicted by examining the modulation transfer function of a bar target and retinal contrast sensitivity function. This visual acuity was evaluated for pupil diameters ranging from 1 to 8 mm.
