컴퓨터의 눈부신 발달에 힙입어 실험 또는 해석적 방법으로 일반 구조물이나 기계구조물의 진동특성을 손쉽고 정확하게 파악하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 그런데 최근의 산업현장은 지금까지의 정확한 구조해석에만 그치지 않고 이를 바탕으로 강도 개선, 재료 절감을 통한 원가절감, 중량 최소화 문제등의 차원에서 동적인 특성의 변경을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 문제는 그 중요성에도 불구하고 여전히 설계자의 경험이나 시행착오에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 구조물 결합부분에 주목하여 동특성의 변경 문제를 해석하고자 하였다. 즉 거의 모든 구조물이 결합부를 가지고 있는데 결합부 특성을 정확히 파악할 수 없기 때문에 리벳이나 보울트나 어떤 특수한 형태 결합부가 구조물의 특성에 주는 영향을 예측하기 어렵다. 이러한 결합부이 특성을 알아내고 구조물 동특성 변경 및 개선안을 제시하는 최적설계를 위해 감도해석기법은 아주 유효하게 쓰일 수 있다. 한편 구조물의 대형화, 복잡화는 구조물 동특성 해석에 더욱 많은 계산시간과 용량이 큰 전자계산기를 필요로 하게 되었으며, 분계의 결합부위가 변경되거나 결합형태가 변했을 때 전계의 동특성을 다시 해석할 필요없이 분계만의 정보로부터 전계의 동특성을 알아낼 필요가 생겼다. 이러한 의미에서 구조물의 분계로부터 전계의 동특성을 해석을 위한 부분구조합성법이 대두되게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 감도해석과 부분구조합성법의 공통된 문제를 일치화하고자 하였다. 즉 감도해석기법을 이용하여 필요한 구조물의 동특성에 부합하는 결합부의 최적한 설계변수를 규명하였고 이렇게 구해진 결합부의 설계변수와 분계의 정보를 알고리즘이 비교적 간단하고 오차가 적은 축소임피던스 합성법에 적용하여 전계의 동특성을 해석함으로써 감도해석기법과 축소임피던스 합성법의 통합적용이 최적설계와 이에 따른 동특성 해석에 효과적인 방법임을 보이고자 하였다. 대상구조물은 구조물 결합의 기본적인 형태인 T형을 선택하였다. T형 구조물은 분계 A(16개의 사각요소)와 분계 B(8개의 사각요소)로 이루어져 있으며 두개의 스프링으로 결합되어 있다. 설계변수는 강성에 국한하였으며 결합부의 결합형태는 탄성결합과 강결합으로 하였다. 감도해석과 축소임피던스 합성법에 의해 구해진 고유진동수와 FRF를 상용 유한 요소 해석 패키지인 MSC/NASTRAN을 통하여 검증하여 이 연구의 타당성을 검토하였다.

여러 가지 지하시설물 중 국가 주요 자원의 수송망을 책임지는 주요구조물인 수도관, 가스관등의 배관구조물은 접근이 쉽지 않은 지하공간에 복잡하게 연결되어 있어 그 중요성에 비해 유지, 관리, 보수가 쉽지 않았다. 이러한 배관구조물을 균열, 조인트 풀림 등의 손상으로부터 보다 안전하고 효율적으로 관리하기 위하여 상시적 배관구조물 손상진단기법을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 배관 구조물 시험체에 볼트풀림, notch 등과 같은 손상에 대하여 대표적인 압전센서인 PZT와 MFC를 부착하고 임피던스기법 및 유도 초음파기법을 적용하여 볼트풀림개수, notch 손상개수 증가에 따른 출력신호를 반복 계측하였다. 객관적인 평가를 위해 계측된 신호를 신호처리기법인 웨이블렛 변환을 수행하고, RMSD 및 1-CC의 손상지수를 사용하여 구조물손상을 정량화 시켰으며 이를 토대로 구조물의 건전성의 기준이 되는 임계값을 설정함으로서 임피던스와 유도초음파 두 검색기법을 이용한 상시적 배관구조물 건전성 모니터링의 가능성을 살펴보았다.

A desing technique of 8 ports variable wave impedance generator (8P-VWIG) is described. The design technique employs not only a numerical algorithm to find the structure with arbitrary characteristic impedance, but also a numerical solution to analyze the uniform elementrognentic fields established inside the generator. The 8P-VWIG so obtained is shown to have good performance with the VSWR of less than 1.4 at any frequency of interest below which higher order mode begin to propagate. The measured first resonant frequency is 152.1 MHz. The 8P-VWIG is designed based on the concept of an expanded multi-transmission line(8 channel). It is especially useful for the electronmagnetic interference(EMI) and electronmagnetic susceptibility(EMS) testing since it maximizes usable test crosssectional area, and its is easy change the polarization, vertical or horizontal, of field.

Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCCs) have electrical conductivity by inserting reinforced conductive fibers into a cementitious matrix. Such characteristic allows us to utilize FRCCs for crack monitoring of a structure by measuring electrical responses without sensor installation. However, the electrical responses are often sensitively altered by temperature variation as well as crack initiation. The temperature variation may disturb crack detection on the measured electrical responses. Moreover, as sensing probes for measuring electrical reponses increase, undesired contact noises are often augmented. In this paper, a self-sensing impedance circuit is specially designed for reducing the number of sensing probes. The crack initiation and temperature variation effects on the self-sensing impedance responses of FRCCs are experimentally investigated using the self-sensing impedance circuit. The experiment results reveal that the electrical impedance response are more sensitively changed due to temperature variation than crack initiation.

In this work, a new high frequency transmission line structure combined with defected ground structure (DGS) and artificial dielectric substrate (ADS) structure is proposed. DGS patterns give add the additional inductance to transmission lines and results in the increased characteristic impedance for a given line width. To the contrary, ADS presents increased capacitance and reduced line impedance. So both play a role in reducing the length of transmission lines commonly, but in preserving the line impedance complementarily. This means that the length of transmission lines can be reduced furtherly by DGS and ADS without a critical change of line width compared to the cases when one of DGS and ADS is used only. As examples, $35{\sim}100{\Omega}$ transmission lines having DGS and ADS are designed, fabricated, measured, and compared to the simulation results. A good agreement between the simulated and measured line impedances is presented. In addition, the physical lengths of the proposed transmission lines are only 55.4~76.9% of those of the normal microstrip lines for the same electrical lengths.

In this study, the effect of temperature-induced uncertainty to damage monitoring using acceleration-impedance response features is analyzed for presterssed concrete(PSC) girder bridges. Firstly, a damage monitoring algorithm using global and local vibration features is designed. As global and local features, acceleration and electro-mechanical impedance features are selected respectively. Secondly, the temperature effect on the acceleration and impedance features for a lab-scaled PSC girder is experimentally analyzed. From the experimental results, compensation models for temperature-acceleration features and temperature-impedance features are estimated. Finally, the feasibility of the acceleration-impedance-based damage monitoring technique using the compensation model is evaluated in the PSC girder for which a set of prestress-loss and flexural stiffness loss cases were dynamically tested.

This paper deals with the frequency-dependent grounding impedances of counterpoises relevant to the soil resistivity, the length of counterpoises and the feeding point of test current. The grounding impedances of counterpoises buried in one-layered and two-layered soils were measured and analyzed in the frequency range from 1[kHz] to 10[MHz]. As a result, the frequency-dependent grounding impedances strongly depend on the soil resistivity, and the grounding impedances within the frequency of several tens [kHz] are capacitive behavior in high soil resistivity. When injecting the ground current to the end of counterpoise buried in soil with high resistivity, the grounding impedances in high frequency are increased.

In case that an infinite length waveguide structure is connected with a finite length structure, it is required to combine a wave approach for the waveguide structure and a modal approach for the finite length structure to investigate the dynamic response of the connected target structure. In this study, the wavenumber finite element (WFE) analysis is adopted for the infinite length waveguide substructure and a finite element (FE) method is applied for the finite length substructure and then their results are coupled in terms of the impedance or mobility at the connected points between the substructures. As a structural model, an infinite length cylindrical shell with a rectangular plate inside is regarded. These two substructures are connected at the four corner points of the plate, rigidly or resiliently. From this investigation, it was confirmed that the wave approach (WFE method) and modal approach (FE method) can be combined by the impedance coupling.

A hybrid modelling technique of a soil-structure system on viscoelastic soil medium is studied in this paper. The hybrid model consists of a near-field and a far-field with their common interface passing through the soil region at some distance from the base of the structure. It makes use of frequency-dependent impedances so as to represent the semi-infinite far-field. The far-field impedances are formulate including the radiation damping characteristics as well as the viscoelastic properties of the soil medium. The verification of the method has been carried out using a rigid circular plate on a viscoelastic half-space. The impedances obtained by the method are compared with the theoretical values. Example analyses have been performed for a tall chimney and the results have been compared with those obtained by other methods which are frequently used.

In this paper, the accurate characterization of the input impedance of a rectangular waveguide with a conducting post and the other discontinuity is presented using mode matching method and the equivalent transmission line theory. By the proposed method, the input impedance of rectangular waveguide with a conducting post and the other discontinuity as a function of the radius and height of the post, the reflection coefficient of the other discontinuity, and the distance between the post and the other discontinuity is calculated. The simulated result shows good agreement with the experimental result by Marcuvitz.
