In this paper, the plastic settlement of mortar is analyzed on the basis of the small strain consolidation theory, and the validity of the approach is verified through the comparison with experimental data. First, the amount of settlement caused by self-weight of bulk mortar is measured using a non-contact laser measurement device and the estimation of material parameters related to the settlement of mortar is followed. In advance, another experiment is also performed on mortar with embedded reinforcement to measure the settlement distribution, and the influence of mixture proportions and cover depth on unequal settlement is analyzed. Finally, correlation studies between experimental data and settlement distribution obtained by consolidation analysis represents that the application of consolidation theory to the analysis of plastic settlement of mortar is reasonable.

Using only laser range finder to detect the obstacles in an environment that contains transparent obstacles can not guarantee autonomous mobile robot from collision problem. To solve this problem, a mobile robot using laser range finder must be used additional sensor device such as sonar sensor that can detect the transparent obstacle. In this paper, a method is addressed to deal with the problem to detect the transparent obstacles within environment only by using laser range finder for mobile robot. In case the recognized transparent obstacle, the proposed algorithm is to localize the transparent obstacle to extract and process the reflected noise. This algorithm ensures autonomous of mobile robot only using laser range finder. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the real mobile robot and real laser range finder experiments with three case studies.

We generated a nondiffracting beam and investigated its intensity profile on propagation. We first obtained an annular output beam from Nd:YAG laser with a negative branch unstable ring resonator and, using a 1m focal length lens, we generated a Bessel- Gauss beam. The inner radius of the annular output beam was 2.57 mm and the ring width was 0.145 mm. The intensity profile of the nondiffracting beam did not show any appreciable diffraction up to 33 m distance from the focal lens. This result was compared with the theory.

MF-CW(Multi-Frequency Continuous Wave)operated on Electro-Optical Tracking System to measure slant range of space launch vehicle and aircraft at Naro Space Center. In this paper, we compared and analyzed the difference exactly measured slant range using the laser lightwave range measuring equipment with measured on the transponder and described the accuracy of slant range.

A new dimension measuring method for the measurement of diameter of an object has been developed using laser triangulation. The 3D data of an object was calculated from the 2 dimensional image information obtained by the laser stripe using the laser triangulation. The system that use existing theory can measure the diameter of hole not only in a normal plane but also ill an incline plane. However, in the existing theory, since the lens with fixed feral length was used, the area of measurement was fixed. The simplest way to solve this problem is to change distance between a CCD camera and object. Other way is to use a zoom lens having variable focal length. In this paper, the zoom lens with variable focal length was used. Therefore, we ran experiment with magnification that is optimized according to size of object using zoom lens with variable focal length.

Determination of type of a vehicle is being used in various areas such as collecting tolls, collecting statistical traffic data and traffic prognosis. Because most of the vehicle type classification systems depend on vehicle length indirectly or directly, highly reliable automatic vehicle length measurement system is crucial for them. This study makes use of a pencil beam laser rangemeter and devises a mechanical device which rotates the laser rangemeter. The implemented system measures the range between a point and the laser rangemeter then indicates it as a spherical coordinate. We obtain several silhouettes of cross section of the vehicle, the rate of change of the silhouettes, signs of the rates then squares the rates to apply cell averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) technique to find out where the border is between the vehicle and the background. Using the border and trigonometry, we calculated the length of the vehicle and confirmed that the calculated vehicle length is about 94% of actual length.

In this study, the method to measure effectively the ground surface displacement of slope was proposed using the Laser Distance Measurer (LDM). Applying the proposed technique is more simple and easier than the complicated and high-priced instrument to measure the ground surface displacement. LDM is an instrument that the red laser aimed at the target and then the reflected laser used for calculating the distance. The advantages of LDM are easy operating method, high measurement precision and lower in price. To check the feasibility, the proposed method applied to the real site that the ground surface displacement of slope was occurred continuously. The ground surface displacements were occurred in various points of the natural and cut slopes located at the lower part of coal mine waste heap due to the load of waste heap. To measure directly the ground surface displacement in this site, 6 measurement sections and 26 measurement points were selected. As the result of the displacement measured by the proposed technique within a certain period time, the accumulative ground surface displacement could be measured as well as the velocity of displacement could be estimated. Also, the progress direction of ground surface displacement can be confirmed and predicted through the analysis of all measured result.

This is a study on the analysis of vibration mode of a laser doppler. We measure the vibration mode of a doppler and analyze each component, and want to estimate three dimensional properties from 2-dimensional data. The vibration mode relies on a range detector that uses a distance sensor. Since the outputs are determined by the measured distance, we want to study how 3-dimensional vibration mode is generated from 2-dimensional ones. The study will include the patterns of generating a 3-dimensional vibration mode as well as the relationship between the distance and the vibration mode.

In this paper, the measurement system of speed and distance of vehicles using laser is implemented and verified through the outdoor test. The implemented system consists of a laser module and a control/speed-computation module. The Former is composed of a optics part, a transmit/receive part, and a LDC(Laser Detection and Counter), and the latter is a control part that controls the laser module and a speed computation part that calculates velocity of vehicles using a microcontroller. The algorithm to compute speed has been developed to consider characteristics of laser and surrounding conditions. The implemented system has been tested and verified on the high way, and the result shows stability of the system and accuracy of the algorithm.

최근, 레이저 초음파 영상화 기법은 구조물의 비접촉식 손상 진단을 위해 널리 연구되고 있다. 초음파 영상화 기법의 가장 큰 장점은 비접촉식으로 구조물의 손상을 진단할 수 있고, 가진 및 측정 지점을 자유로이 이동할 수 있다는 점이다. 따라서 이는 고온이나 동적상태의 구조물에 적용이 가능하며, 시간과 공간상의 충분한 데이터를 획득할 수 있으므로 역문제 (Inverse problem)를 해결할 필요 없이 완전한 초음파의 전파 형상을 얻을 수 있다. 지난 연구들에서는 충분한 가진력 혹은 측정 민감도를 확보하기 위해 가진 레이저와 부착형 센서의 조합이나 부착형 가진 트렌스듀서와 센싱 레이저의 조합으로 초음파 영상을 획득하고자 하였다. 하지만 이들 조합은 가진 혹은 측정 지점이 구조물에 부착되어 있어 완전한 비접촉식 기법을 구현하지 못하였다. 이를 극복하고자 레이저와 EMAT 센서 등의 조합이 시도되어 왔으나, 이 또한 EMAT 센서의 적용 거리에 따른 한계점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가진 레이저 (Nd:Yag)의 스캐닝을 통해 다양한 가진 점에서 발생된 초음파가 탄성체 구조물을 통해 전파되고, 이를 센싱 레이저 (Laser Doppler Vibrometer)를 이용하여 측정함으로써 비접촉식 초음파 영상화를 구현하였다. 나아가, 정상파 필터(Standing-wave filter)를 이용하여 구현된 초음파 영상으로부터 손상 영향만 검출해 내는 기법을 개발했다. 개발된 기법은 복합재 시편의 층간박리 (Delamination) 진단을 통해 검증하였다.
