In this paper, always monitoring system of fiber Bragg Crating(FBG)Sensor is described and FBGs are well suited for measuring the movement in the part of the spatial structure(for example, cable, membrane and so on)under the pressure conditions. In order to measure the movement of long span structure, we need the measurable equipment that takes in many spots to measure. In the result of experiment, the fiber sensors showed good response to the pressure conditions. Therefore, We could calculate the movement of spatial structure and be possible health monitoring of the spatial structure.

The purpose of designing composite lattice structure which applied to launching vehicle and tactical missile body is to minimize the thickness and weight for applied load. It is usually made of carbon fiber; fabricating with filament winding process over silicon mold, and provided with a window opening for inspection purpose if necessary. In this paper compression test is conducted without window opening in lattice structure and preliminary FEA is carried out to confirm its accuracy. And then FEA is performed for the case of window opening to evaluate the soundness and the safety factor of the structure. We have calculated for two kinds of window shape; rectangular one and hexagonal one. And we have calculated safety factors of the lattice structure with window opening in every case based on failure strength of rib and knot with varying the thickness and location of the window for hexagonal shape. Through our investigation, we have found out the followings; (1) the hexagonal shaped window is shown higher safety factor than rectangular one, (2) a window in a certain location is shown higher safety factor than others, (3) although the soundness of window structure is improved as increasing its thickness, a window of a certain thickness is shown higher safety factor than others because of stress concentration.

광섬유 브래그 격자 센서(Fiber Brags Grating Sensor： FBG Sensor)는 여타 광섬유 센서와 같이 가볍고 저렴하며 주위의 전자기적 잡음에 무관한 장점과 더불어 측정대상이 반사광의 파장변화이므로, 광섬유 연결부나 실험장치들에 의해 생기는 광 손실이나 잡음에 대해서 강인한 측정을 할 수 있다. 그리고 파장변화가 변형률이나 온도변화에 선형적으로 나타나므로, 센서로서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 구조물의 내부에 삽입하여 구조물 스스로 외부의 환경변화를 감지하여 필요한 동작을 수행하는 지능형 구조물(Smart Structure)에 적합한데, 이를 위해선 구조물의 여러 지점을 측정해야 하므로, 브래그 격자 여러개를 한 시스템에서 사용하는 다중화(Multiplexing)가 필수적이다.

진동하는 구조물을 설계할 때에는 그 구조물 중의 Strain이나 응력이 최대가 되는 장소나 시각을 알 필요가 있다. 지금까지의 Strain 해석에는 Strain gauge 등과 같은 접촉법이 많이 이용되고 있다. 더우기, 접촉법으로 대변형 진동을 하는 물체의 Strain을 해석하는 것은 곤란하다. 최근에는 비접촉법으로 Strain 분포를 해석하기 위해 화상처리를 이용한 계측이 행하여지고 있다. 이들의 Strain 분포를 측정하는 광학적인 방법으로는 격자법, Moire법, 홀로 그랩픽 간섭법 등이 있다. 특히 대변형이나 대Strain을 해석하는 데에는 격자법이 많이 이용되고 있는데, 종래의 격자법은 Data를 처리하는 데에 많은 시간과 노력이 소요되고 작업도 매우 복잡하며, Data의 수도 제한이 되어서 구조물의 분포의 해석 정도에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문 에서는 스테레오법을 이용해서 2차원 격자를 붙인 시료표면의 각 점의 3차원 좌표를 계측하고, 또 Fourier 변환 격자법을 적용하여 촬영된 2차원 격자의 화상에서 위상치를 구한다. 그리고 물체의 변형 전후의 대응 관계의 화상에서 3차원 형상과 Strain 분포를 해석하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법을 이용하면 진동하는 구조 물의 3차원 변위분포, Strain 분포를 정도 좋게 해석할 수가 있다.

The composite lattice structures have advantages of high specific stiffness and strength and are mainly applied to the structures of launch vehicles that carry the compressive load. However, since these structures are manufactured by filament winding technology, there are some defects and voids found in the knots. For these reasons, the stiffness and strength of the lattice structures have to be compared with finite element model for predicting design load. But, the full scale test is difficult because time and space are limited and the shape of structure is complex, and hence the simple and reliable test methods for examination of stiffness are needed. In this paper, subelements of composite lattice structures were prepared and compressive and bending test were conducted for examination of stiffness of helical and hoop rib. Test methods for subelements of composite lattice structures that has curved and twisted shape were supposed and compared with finite element analysis results.

The present paper proposes design and manufacturing methods of the carbon/epoxy square grid structure with near zero-CTE in three geometrical principal directions. Bonding strength of the grid structure is examined for different bonding methods. Numerical examples show that maximum displacement of the composite grid structure is almost zero comparing with that of aluminum grid structure with same dimension under thermal loading.

In aerospace structural design, the position of lightening hole is often required to be optimized from the initial design in order to avoid an excessive stress concentration. To remodel the updated configuration in optimization procedure, re-meshing procedure is conventionally adopted. However, this approach is time-consuming, and has limitations especially in handling hexahedral or quadrilateral meshes, which are preferred because of their good numerical performances. To attenuate these disadvantages, new optimization scheme is proposed by combining the MLS(Moving Least Squares) based overset method and the genetic algorithm in this work. To test the validity of the proposed optimization scheme, optimizations of positions of lightening holes in 2D structures have been carried out.

FBG sensors have been studied more actively than any other fiber optic sensor because of good multiplexing capabilities among many fiber optic sensors. The demodulation method of FBG sensors is based on the detection of wavelength shift of their sensor peaks and properties such as strain and temperature can be measured by detecting them. However, the signal stability of FBG sensors can be influenced by the strain gradient induced by structural geometry or cracks on the surface when FBG sensors are embedded into or attached on the structure. In this study, the signal characteristics of reflected spectra of FBG sensors under strain gradient were verified and the relations between the grating length of FBG sensors and the amount of strain gradient were investigated. From the experimental results, the recommended working range of FBG sensors under strain gradients was shown quantitatively with respect to grating lengths of them.

An optical fiber sensor is capable of nondestructive measurement of a structure and it has an advantage of the immunity to electromagnetic interference because light is not affected by electromagnetic wave. In addition, if optical fibers are buried in an object like a concrete, this sensor tan analyze defects and physical status of the object without disassembling it. Especially, the fiber Bragg grating sensor is a promising optical fiber sensor capable of nondestructive test of such an object. A fiber Bragg grating has the characteristics of reflecting or blotting light of a specific wavelength. If we apply physical quantity like strain to the fiber Bragg grating, the center wavelength of the reflected light is shifted and then we can find the physical quantity applied to the fiber Bragg grating by measuring the center wavelength shift of the reflected light. The fiber Bragg grating sensor capable ot static and dynamic strain measurement is being used in health-monitoring of buildings, structures, etc. Recently increasing is interest in dynamic strain measurement inevitable to the civil structures such as roads and bridges. In this study we implemented the optical fiber sensor system which can measure dynamic strain at multiple points using Fabry-Perot wavelength demodulation. And we measured the static and dynamic strain using this sensor system with a test structure(cantilever). Measurement results were similar to those obtained with the conventional electrical measurement methods.
