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.

In this work, a multi-block/multi-partitioning method is suggested for a multi-block parallelization. It has an advantage of uniform load balance via subdividing of each block on each processor. To make a comparison of parallel efficiency according to domain decomposition method, a multi-block/single-partitioning and a multi-block/ multi-partitioning methods are applied to the flow analysis solver. The multi-block/ multi-partitioning method has more satisfactory parallel efficiency because of optimized load balancing. Finally, it has applied to the CFDS code. As a result, the computing speed with sixteen processors is over twelve times faster than that of sequential solver.

현재 광통신 분야는 보다 많은 정보를 동시에 전송하기 위해 다양한 다중화 방식들을 요구 받고 있다. 광섬유 Bragg 격자 소자를 이용한 모든 광 분기/결합 장치는 분기/결합할 수 있는 신호가 광섬유 격자 소자의 Bragg파장에 의해 정해지므로 하나의 광섬유 격자 소자는 고정된 한 채널만을 분기, 결합할 수 있다는 단점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 광섬유 격자에 온도와 스트레인(strain) 같은 외부 물리량을 가하게 되면 광섬유 격자의 주기가 변하게 되어 반사파장이 고정되지 않고 파장을 가변 할 수 있는 장점을 가지게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 광섬유 격자 소자에 가해진 온도, 스트레인에 의해 Bragg파장이 변화하는 성질을 이용하여 파장 가변형 Bragg 격자를 제작 및 실험을 통하여 전광필터 특성에 대하여 제시하였다.

Wing is the most important part of aircraft which produces lift. In general when aircraft takes off or lands, high lift is required and additional devices are adopted in front and aft-side of wing, which constitute so-called multi element airfoils. The objective of this research is to develop a specialized grid generation program to help engineers in reducing human labor and eliminating time-consuming process for mesh regeneration by deforming the initially-given grid system with efficient deforming method. This paper describes briefly about the mesh deformation methods, and provides some results to verify the quality of deformed mesh and eventually correctness of current approach.

A multipath routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provides advantage such as reliability improvement and load balancing by transmitting data through divided paths. For these reasons, existing multipath routing protocols divide path appropriately or create independent paths efficiently. However, when the sink node moves to avoid hotspot problem or satisfy the requirement of the applications, the existing protocols have to reconstruct multipath or exploit foot-print chaining mechanism. As a result, the existing protocols will shorten the lifetime of a network due to excessive energy consumption, and lose the advantage of multipath routing due to the merging of paths. To solve this problem, we propose a multipath creation and maintenance scheme to support the mobile sink node. The proposed protocol can be used to construct local grid structure with restricted area and exploit grid structure for constructing the multipath. The grid structure can also be extended depending on the movement of the sink node. In addition, the multipath can be partially reconstructed to prevent merging paths. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol is superior to the existing protocols in terms of energy efficiency and packet delivery ratio.

Lattice decoding concept has been proposed for the implementation of the Maximum-Likelihood detection which is the optimal receiver from the viewpoint of the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance for MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. Sphere decoding algorithm and K-best decoding algorithm are based on the lattice decoding concept. A K-best decoding algorithm shows a good BER performance with relatively low complexity. However, with small K value, the error propagation effect severely degrades the performance. In this paper, we propose an adaptive K-best decoding algorithm which has lower average complexity and better BER performance than conventional K-best decoding algorithm.

The convergence of finite volume method (FVM) or discrete ordinate method (DOM) is known to degrade for optical thickness greater than unity and large scattering albedo. The present article presents a convergence acceleration procedure for the FVM based on a full approximation storage (FAS) multigrid method. Among a variety of multigrid cycles, the V-cycle is used and the full multigrid algorithm (FMG) is applied to an analysis of radiation in irregular two-dimensional geometry. Solution convergence is discussed for the several cases of various optical thickness and scattering albedo. At small scattering albedo and optical thickness, there is no advantage to using the multigrid method for calculation CPU time. For large scattering albedo greater than 0.5 and optical thickness greater than unity, however, the multigrid method improves the convergence and the solution is rapidly obtained.

An efficient implicit multigrid method is presented for the Navier-Stokes and k-ω turbulence equations. Freezing and limiting strategies are applied to improve the robustness and convergence of the multigrid method. The eddy viscosity and strongly nonlinear production terms of turbulence are frozen in the coarser grids by passing down the values without update of them. The turbulence equations together with the Navier-Stokes equations, however, are consecutively solved on the coarser grids in a loosely coupled fashion. A simple limit for k is also introduced to circumvent slow-down of convergence. Numerical results for the unseparated and separated transonic airfoil flows show that all computations converge well without any robustness problem and the computing time is reduced to a factor of about 3 by the present multigrid method.

위상 부호 다중화 시스템에서 cross talk 잡음은 기준빔 성분들간의 180$^{\circ}$와 다른 위상 천이 오차, 기준빔 성분들의 Bragg 격자로부터 불균일한 회절 세기들, 혹은 non-Bragg-matched 격자로부터 회절 때문에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 cross talk의 다른 원인들이 최소화된 시스템에서 위상 천이 오차만이 존재할 때 이전 연구들과 달리 유한한 contrast ratio를 갖는 이진 랜덤 이차원 이미지들을 광굴절 결정체에 위상 부호 다중화하고 복원할 때 얻어지는 신호대 잡음비(SNR)을 계산하고 이를 실험 측정 결과와 비교한다.
