In the seismic design of structures, seismic forces are calculated based on structural models and analysis. In order to accurately address the dynamic characteristics of the actual structure in the structural model, calibration based on actual measurements is required. In this study, a 4-story frame test specimen was manufactured to simulate frame building, accelerometers were attached at each floor, and 1-axis shaking table test was performed. The natural period of the specimen was similar to that of the actual 4 story frame building, and the columns were designed to behave with double-curvature having the infinite stiffness of the horizontal members. To investigate the effects seismic waves characteristics, historical and artificial excitations with various frequencies and acceleration magnitudes were applied. The natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes were obtained using frequency response functions obtained from dynamic response signals, and the mode vector deviations according to the input seismic waves were verified using the Mode assurance criterion (MAC). In addition, the damping ratios obtained from the vibration tests were applied to the structural model, and the method with refined dynamic characteristics was validated by comparing the analysis results with the experimental data.

The high-level nuclear waste repository is a deep geological disposal system exposed to complex environmental conditions such as high temperature, radiation, and ground-water due to handling spent nuclear fuel. Continuous exposure can lead to cracking and deterioration of the structure over time. On the other hand, the high-level nuclear waste repository requires an ultra-long life expectancy. Thus long-term structural health monitoring is essential. Various sensors such as an accelerometer, earth pressure gauge, and displacement meter can be used to monitor the health of a structure, and a piezoelectric sensor is generally used. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a highly durable sensor based on the durability assessment of the piezoelectric sensor. This study designed an accelerated life test for durability assessment and life prediction of the piezoelectric sensor. Based on the literature review, the number of accelerated stress levels for a single stress factor, and the number of samples for each level were selected. The failure mode and mechanism of the piezoelectric sensor that can occur in the environmental conditions of the high-level waste repository were analyzed. In addition, two methods were proposed to investigate the maximum harsh condition for the temperature stress factor. The reliable operating limit of the piezoelectric sensor was derived, and a reasonable accelerated stress level was set for the accelerated life test. The suggested methods contain economical and practical ideas and can be widely used in designing accelerated life tests of piezoelectric sensors.

In this study, an experiment was carried out on the field applicability of tension measuring devices of the cables in cable-stayed bridges. The vibration method was used to estimate the tension of cables of cable-stayed bridge, and the mode characteristics of the cable were analyzed using a cable tension measuring device. GTDL360, NI Module, and 9 Axes Motion Sensorwere applied to estimate the cable tension of five target bridges. Numerical analysis of the five target bridges was conducted to analyze the natural frequency of the cable and cable tension. The estimated tension of the cable based on field measurements and estimated tension of cable by numerical analysis were compared with the estimated tension of the cable based on field measurements. The analysis showed that the measured tension of the cable based on field measurements was within the margin of error. Therefore, it is safe to apply these measuring devices to the site. As a result of comparing and analyzing the values of the acceleration-based cable estimation tension and numerical analysis of the field demonstration bridge, the acceleration-based cable estimation of tension is deemed appropriate within the allowable range. On-site applicability analysis revealed limitations of the measuring devices, such as the installation location of sensors and weather conditions, so continuous follow-up research on smart cable tension measuring systems is expected.

In this study, Tridimensional Hybrid Isolation System(THIS) was proposed as a vibration isolator for traffic loads, combining vertical and horizontal isolation systems. Its efficacy in improving serviceability for vertical vibration was analytically evaluated. Firstly, for the analysis, the major vibration modes of the existing apartment were identified through eigenvalue analysis for the system and pulse response analysis for the bedroom slab using commercial structural analysis software. Subsequently, a 16-story model with horizontal, vertical and rotational degrees of freedom for each slab was numerically organized to represent the achieved modes. The dynamic analysis for the measured acceleration from an adjacent ground to high-speed railway was performed by state-space equations with the stiffness and damping ratio of THIS as variables. The result indicated that as the vertical period ratio increased, the threshold period ratio where the slab response started to be suppressed varied. Specifically, when the period ratio is greater than or equal to 5, the acceleration levels of all slabs decreased to approximately 70% or less compared to the non-isolated condition. On the other hand, it was ascertained that the influence of damping ratios on the response control of THIS is inconsequential in the analysis. Finally, the improvement in vertical vibration performance of THIS was evaluated according to design guidelines for floor vibration of AIJ, SCI and AISC. It was confirmed that, after the application of THIS, the residential performance criteria were met, whereas the non-isolated structure failed to satisfy them.

Unmaned Aerial Vehical(UAV) is a flight which is automatically flying by remote control on th ground. However UAV has an advantage of control that is easy, but has an disadvantage of not hovering. By comparison, quadcopter which is one of the UAV is easily operated. Also quadcopter has hovering function and high stability. In this paper, we propose stable flight algorithm associated PID(proportional-integral-derivative) control with fuzzy contorl to implement stable quadcopter system. After getting a positioning information of the drone, This proposed system is implemented for stable flight through flight attitude control using gyro and acceleration sensor. We also propose the flight mode system to hover drone with GPS sensor.

This paper proposes a method that automatically sets profile schedule context-based mobile phone by collecting the user's external situation based on the GPS sensor and accelerometer built into the smartphone and interacting with the data in the user's schedule to minimize the user's handset handling. However, real-time data collection in mobile phones causes energy shortage in the device due to battery consumption. In other words, a service control method is explained in a way that can efficiently handle resource consumption because accessing a measurement device such as GPS and other sensors may increase power consumption of the portable device. Therefore, effective data sharing for context awareness to reduce weekly schedules and smartphone mode has improved energy efficiency in sensing for data collection. The user can use the context more effectively by providing environmental adaptability for various situations such as the end user's local context and smartphone force control.

A silicon lens and an insulator of pyrex, components of a micro-electron column, should be assembled by aligning and stacking simultaneously. An optical alignment of a diffraction beam and a laser welding were employed for the assembly of a source lens and an Einzel lens with precision within $\pm$4% for the maximum aperture size. The experimental condition for optical alignment and laser welding are explained. Anodic bonding was used to assist in stacking lenses. A micro-electron column of smaller apertures assembled with precise alignment and fabrication was tested with a current image of a Cu grid of 9$\mu$m in linewidth, and showed a higher resolution in acceleration mode.

본 논문에서는 전장부품에서 중요한 연결 장치인 커넥터의 고장 모드를 분석하기 위한 방법으로 HALT(Highly Accelerated Life Test)를 이용해 관측된 고장 데이터를 기반으로 ReliaSoft사의 소프트웨어인 ALTA PRO를 이용하여 분석하고자 한다. 커넥터를 이루는 주재료는 플라스틱과 금속으로 구성되어 있어 습도에 대한 반응 보다 열 변화와 진동에 의해 고장이 발생 한다. 이러한 커넥터의 특성을 고려하여 HALT는 온도와 진동 스트레스를 이용한 복합 스트레스 시험을 실시하였다. HALT에 사용된 시료는 20핀 커넥터 5개로 74시간 동안 시험하였으며, 9개의 핀에서 부러지는 고장이 관측 되었다. 관측된 고장 데이터를 단일 스트레스에 의한 고장으로 분석하기위해 시험에 사용된 온도와 진동 스트레스를 개별 스트레스로 하여 ALTA PRO를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석을 위한 수명-스트레스관계식은 스텝 스트레스에 적합한 Cumulative Damage 선택하였으며 Likelihood Function을 이용 최적 분포는 Weibull 분포임을 확인하였다, ALTA Pro를 이용한 분석 결과 열에 대한 Mean Life는 2444.03 시간이며, 진동에 대한 Mean Life는 1784.27시간으로 진동에 대한 Mean Life가 659.76 시간만큼 작은 것을 확인 하였다. 고장 데이터를 이용한 수명 예측에서 Mean Life가 작다는 것은 스트레스에 의해 고장이 빠르게 발생 했다는 것을 의미한다. 가속수명시험을 통해 관측된 커넥터의 고장은 핀이 부러지는 현상이며, 고장에 대한 주요 원인으로 온도 스트레스 보다 Mean Life가 낮은 진동 스트레스인 것으로 판단된다.

The variations of the natural frequencies and the peak response acceleration at the top of prestressed concrete reactor building due to random variability and/or model uncertainty of structural parameters are studied. The results may be used as essential input parameters in seismic probabilistic risk assessment or seismic margin assessment of the reactor building. The sensitivity test of each structural parameter is first performed to determine the most influential parameter upon the natural frequency of structure model. Then Monte Carlo simulation technique is applied to evaluate the effect of parameter variation on the natural frequencies and the peak response acceleration. The acceleration time history is obtained by direct integration scheme. As the study results, it is found that the fundamental natural frequency and the peak response acceleration at the top of the building are most strongly affected by Young's modulus among the structural parameters, in which the value of mean plus one standard deviation obtained by probabilistic approach deviates up to about (+)12% from the result of deterministic method. Considering the uncertainty of flexural rigidity, the structural responses vary in range of (-)4%~(+)14%.
