지하 배관 구조물은 국가 주요 자원의 수송망을 책임지는 핵심적인 기능을 수행하는 시설물로써, 배관구조물의 노후화와 부식, 균열, 조인트 풀림 등의 손상으로 인한 누출사고 발생 시 막대한 사회 경제적 손실을 초래할 우려가 있다. 특히, 지중배관 및 노출배관 경우에는, 현장 작업상황이 지속적으로 변화하고 있는 상황에서 24시간 안전관리에 대한 감시체계가 미흡한 것이 현실이다. 고가의 센서설치 및 배관의 유지관리 비용 등의 문제를 극복하려는 센서개발 연구 및 센서로부터 취득된 계측데이터를 현장에서 분석하여 실시간으로 배관의 이상상태를 판정하여 원격으로 그 판정결과를 알려주는 유비쿼터스 원격감시기법에 대한 연구 및 기술개발이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 USN 기술을 활용한 배관안전진단 기술을 소개하고 임피던스 기반의 자가 감지 기법을 활용한 다양한 구조의 배관에 대해 진단 연구를 수행 하였다.

For investigating self-diagnosis applicability, a method based on monitoring the changes in the electrical resistance of carbon fiber reinforced concrete has been tested. Then after examining change in the value of electrical resistance at each flexural weight-stage of carbon fiber in CFGFRP (carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforcing plastic) with new type rib and carbon sheet for concrete reinforcing, the correlations of electrical resistance and load as a function of strain, deflection were analyzed. As the results, it is clarified that when carbon fiber rod, rib and sheet fracture, the electrical resistance of it increase largely, and specially in case of CFGFRP, afterwards glass fiber tows can be resist the load due to the presence of the hybrid (carbon and glass) reinforced fiber. Therefore, it can be recognized that reinforcing bar and new type rib of CFGFRP and sheet of CF could be applied for self-diagnosis of fracture in reinforced FRP concrete.

There is a major interest in diagnostic technology for multiple cancers worldwide. In order to reduce the difficulty of cancer diagnosis, a liquid biopsy technology based on a microfluidic device using trace amounts of biofluids such as blood is being studied. And optical biosensing, which measures the concentration of analytes through fluorescence imaging using biofluids, requires various strategies to improve sensitivity, and specialists and equipment are needed to carry out these strategies. This leads to an increase in diagnostic and production costs, and it is necessary to develop a technology to solve this problem. In this paper, we design and propose a fluorescent multi-cancer diagnostic sensing platform structure that implements passive self-separation technology and molecular recognition activation functions by fluid mixing, only with the geometry and microfluidic phenomena of microchannels based on self-driven flow by capillary force. In order to check the parameters affecting the performance of the plasma separation part of the designed sensor, the hydrodynamic diameter of the channel and the viscosity of the fluid were set as variables to confirm the formation of plasma separation flow through simulation. And finally, we propose an optimal sensor platform structure.

As aircrafts are being operated at high altitude, wing structures experience various fatigue loadings under cryogenic environments. As a result, fatigue damage such as a crack could be develop that could eventually lead to a catastrophic failure. For this reason, fatigue damage monitoring is an important process to ensure efficient maintenance and safety of structures. To implement damage detection in real-world flight environments, a special cooling chamber was built. Inside the chamber, the temperature was maintained at the cryogenic temperature, and harmonic fatigue loading was given to a wing structure. In this study, piezoelectric active-sensing based guided waves were used to detect the fatigue damage. In particular, a beamforming technique was applied to efficiently measure the scattering wave caused by the fatigue damage. The system was used for detection, growth monitoring, and localization of a fatigue crack. In addition, a sensor diagnostic process was also applied to ensure the proper operation of piezoelectric sensors. Several experiments were implemented and the results of the experiments demonstrated that this process could efficiently detect damage in such an extreme environment.

There has been intense research on self-diagnosis systems in railway applications, since stability and reliability have become more and more significant issues. Wired sensors have been widely used in the railway vehicles, but because of the difficulty in their maintenance and accessibility, they ar not considered for self-diagnosis systems. To have a self-monitoring system, wireless data transmission and self-powered sensors are required. For this purpose, a thermoelectric energy harvesting module that can generate electricity from temperature gradient between the bogie axle box and ambient environment was introduced in this work. The temperature gradient was measured under actual operation conditions, and the behavior of the thermoelectric module with an external load resistance and booster circuits was studied. The proposed energy harvesting system can be applied for wireless sensor nodes in railroad vehicles with optimization of thermal management.

수문조사기기 검정은 강수량, 수위, 유량 등과 같은 수문자료를 관측하는 수문조사기기가 대상지역의 수문상황을 정확하게 관측하는지를 검사하는 일련의 과정으로 「수자원의 조사 계획 및 관리에 관한 법률」 제12조에 법적 기반을 두고 있다. 검정 대상은 강수량, 수위, 유속, 유사량, 토양수분량, 증발산량, 증발량 측정기기 총 7종이며, 환경부장관으로부터 한강홍수통제소가 검정업무를 위임받고, 한국건설기술연구원과 한국수자원조사기술원이 위탁받아 운영중에 있다. 최근에는 증발산량, 토양수분량 및 유량 측정기기기 등이 첨단화되어 기존 검정 방식에 대한보완 및 신설에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 유량 측정시 기존에 사용하였던 회전식 유속계는 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) 유량측정기기로 대체되어 활용률이 2013년 24%에서2021년 67%로 약 2.8배 급격히 증가하였다. 하지만 수문조사기기 검정 관련 고시 내 ADCP에 대한검사방법 및 허용오차 등의 규정이 부재하여 수문조사기기의 검정 공백이 발생하는 등의 문제가 존재하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ADCP 운영 및 기술 현황, 현행 법령, 국외 사례 등을 검토하여 ADCP 유량측정기기의 검사방법 및 허용오차에 대한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. ADCP 검사방법은 총 5단계로 외관검사, 자가진단 검사, 온도센서 검사, 수심측정 검사, 유량비교측정 검사에 따라 검정을 실시한다. 첫 번째 외관검사시에는 기기 외관과 센서 등 물리적 손상을 점검하고, 두 번째 자가진단 검사에서는 센서 변환 매트릭스 값, 수신부 센서 테스트, RAM/ROM 테스트, 통신 테스트 등에 관한 정상값 산출 여부를 확인한다. 세 번째 온도센서 검사에서는 검증용 온도센서를 이용한 값과 ADCP에 부착된 온도센서 값과 차이를 확인하고 ±2℃초과시 재검사 또는 적절한 조치를 취한 후 다음 단계의 검사를 진행한다. 네 번째 수심측정 검사에서는 수조 내 수심 측정을 확인하여 실제 수심과의 오차를 확인하고 ±1% 초과시 재검사 또는 적절한 조치 후 다음 검사를 실시한다. 유량비교 측정검사에서는 각 기기 간의 평균유량의 상대오차를 평가하는 것으로 ±5%미만에는 합격, ±5이상 ±10%미만에서는 재검사, ±10%이상에서는 공장수리를 권고하도록 하고, 1~5 단계의 검사를 통과한 기기를 대상으로 인증서를 발급하도록 한다. 유량비교 측정검사시에는 매년 ADCP를 사용하는 일반기업 및 공공기관 등이 모여 ADCP의 성능을 상호간 비교하는 'ADCP 기술협력 워크숍'을 확장하여 실시할 수 있다. 각 검사 단계의 허용오차는 USGS 또는 제조사 기준과 2022년 ADCP 기술협력 워크숍 성능검사 분석 결과를 토대로 하였다. 본 ADCP 검정 방안은 향후 ADCP 모델별로 단계별 시범 검토를 통해 세부사항에 대한 제시가 필요하며, 온도센서 검사, 수심측정 검사, 유량 비교측정검사에 대한 허용오차에 대한 타당성에대한 검증 및 검토가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

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.

A disposable, electro-chemiluminescent immunosensor utilizing a screen-printed carbon electrode and liposome coupled to antibody as tracer has been constructed. In proportion to the analyte (Legionella species as a model) concentration, the analyte-immunoliposome complexes were transferred by the capillary action through a membrane strip to the electrode, the liposomes were lysed in the presence of detergent, and ruthenium was released for signal generation. Such performance of the immunosensor was appropriate for a point-of-care testing.
