The characteristic test for gage factors of temperature self-compensated strain gages at cryogenic temperature is presented. By joining the international round robin test on electrical strain gages at cryogenic temperatures, the gage factors of three kinds of widely-used strain gages are obtained at the room temperature, the temperatures of liquid nitrogen and liquid helium. The calibration system which produce precise bending strain is by mechanical loading at cryogenic temperature. This paper also presents the creep characteristic of strain gages at maximum strain level.

선박 추진축계의 동력을 계측하기 위해서는 일반적으로 스트레인 게이지를 이용한 방법이 널리 사용된다. 이러한 방법의 경우 스트레인 게이지 외에도 많은 부품들을 축에 장착해야 하며 전원을 공급하기 위해 별도의 장치를 필요로 하는 등 설치 시 매우 복잡하고 섬세한 작업이 요구된다, 뿐만 아니라 계측신호를 취득하고 분석하기 위해서도 고도의 전문성이 요구되기 때문에 운전 중의 실시간 계측을 통한 모니터링 목적이 아니라 시험 및 검증을 위해 사용될 뿐이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 단점들을 보완하면서도 추진축계의 동력을 비교적 용이하게 계측하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 계측기법은 카메라를 사용하여 축동력을 계측하는 방법으로 실험결과를 통해 유효성을 확인하였으며 항해 중 실시간 모니터링이 가능한 감시 시스템을 구축할 수 있는 새로운 계측기술이라 할 수 있다.

정전용량형 후막 스트레인 게이지(piezocapacitive thick film strain gage)는 세라믹 ($Al_2O_3$)을 주 원료로 하는 지지대(약 5mm)와 다이어프램(약 $300{\mu}m$) 그리고 가드 링으로 구성된다. 전극 판은 도전성 페이스트를 이용하여 지지대와 다이어프램에 형성되었으며 극판 사이에는 유전체 메이스트를 사용하여 스크린 인쇄로 후막을 형성하였다. 극판 사이의 가드 링 두께는 약 $30{\mu}m$정도로 다이어프램의 변위 최대값을 유지시키는 데 필요한 간격이다. 따라서 정전용랑형 후막 스트레인 게이지는 지지대를 중심으로 다이어프램에 압력 (0.5~1.0bar)이 인가될 때 변위를 발생시키면서 커패시터 값이 압력의 크기에 따라 비례 특성을 가지고 변화하는 것을 이용한 것이다. 압력이 없을때 초기값은 35pF~40pF 정도이고 정격압력의 최대치를 인가시켰을 때 약 55pF~55p를 나타내었다.

Korea Gas Corp. has developed the design technology of the LNG storage tank. The membrane to be applied inside of the LNG storage tank is provided with corrugations to absorb thermal contraction and expansion caused by LNG temperature changes. It is very important to measure their thermal strains under LNG temperatures by analytical and experimental stress analysis of the membrane. We have developed a stress measurement system using strain gages and measured the strain during cooldown and storing the LNG. We also analyzed the measured data by comparison with the FEM data. On the basis of these results, we could design and assure the application of the Kogas Membrane to large scale LNG storage.

In order to understand the biomaterial like the blood vessel of artery, there is a need to quantify the biomechanical behavior of the vessel. However, theoretical framework to describe and quantify the behaviour of blood vessel was not well established so far. For studying the biomechanical behavior of artery, Rubber-liked material which is similar to passive artery is selected since conventional theoretical interpretation is very limited to understand and predict the behavior of biomaterial. Rubber-like material is assumed to be very similar to artery and has properties of isotropy, homogeneity and is undergoing large deformation. Based on this assumption, stress developed on Rubber-like material is described by strain energy function and strain invariants which are required to understand the nonlinear elastic behavior of biomaterial. The descriptor which would be used for understanding the biomechanical behavior of artery is studied in this work.

A force sensor of 30 MN capacity using build-up technique in which three load cells of 10 MN capacity are arranged in parallel was fabricated. A column spring element was adopted as a shape of a strain gage type load cell. Temperature compensation circuits were used to reduce the error of a load cell. It was estimated that the total error of the fabricated force sensor is less than 0.1 %. The force sensor may be used to calibrate or test material testing machines above 4.5 MN capacity in industries.

In this study, the strain sensing characteristics of single-wall carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs) networks were investigated to develop a film sensor for strain sensing. The SWCNTs film are formed on flexible substrates of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) using spray process. In this manner we could control the transparency and obtain excellent uniformity of the networked SWCNT film. The carbon nanotube film is isotropic due to randomly oriented bundles of SWCNTs. Using experimental results it is shown that there is a nearly linear change in resistance across the film when it is subjected to tensile stress. The results presented in this study indicate the potential of such films for high sensitive transparent strain sensors on macro scale.

A pressure sensor is a sensing device to perceive inputing pressure and convert pressure with an electric signal. Currently, a domestic pressure sensor mostly uses mechanical methods. So, it uses many parts and its cost is high. Therefore, It is necessary to improve the weak points of an existing pressure sensor and develop the accurate and reliable pressure sensor using piezo resistance strain gages.

To address the need for new intelligent sensing of systems, this study presents a novel strain sensor based on piezoresistivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) and its nanocomposites. Fabrication and characterization of the carbon nanocomposite material are discussed and an electrical model of the CNT strain sensor was derived based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis and strain testing. The dynamic response of the sensor on a vibrating beam was simulated using numerical analysis and it was compared with experimental test. The simulation showed good agreement with the strain response of the actual sensor.
