Catalytic combustion type gas sensor was fabricated by using ${\gamma}-Al_{2}O_{3}$, Pd catalyst and some binders for metane and propane detection. Using the gas sensor, digital gas meter was manufactured and tested for sensing performance. The fabricated sensor had power consumption of 700mW with applied voltage of dc 2V and the output voltage of the sensor was about 700mV for propane of 1,000ppm and 500mV for methane of 1,000ppm. In 10 cycle injection of the gases of 2,400ppm, The digital meter showed good sensitivity, linearity, and reproductivity with precision of ${\pm}25ppm({\pm}1%)$.

An explosion modeling technique was developed by using the spherical discrete element code, $PFC^{3D}$, which can be used to model the dynamic stress wave propagation phenomenon. The modeling technique is simply based on an idea that the explosion pressure should be applied to a $PFC^{3D}$ particle assembly not in the form of an external force (body force), but in the form of a contact force (surface force). The stress wave propagation modeling was conducted by simulating the experimental approach based on the Hopkinson's effect combined with the spatting phenomenon that had previously been developed to determine the dynamic tensile strength of Inada granite. As a result, the stress wave velocity obtained by the proposed modeling technique was 4167 m/s, which is merely $3\%$ lower than the actual wave velocity of 4300 m/s for an Inada granite.

Although there are many ways to measure the diameter of a cylindrical object, in this study, the diameter of a cylindrical objects were measured by the geometric optical method and interference-diffraction method which are two kinds of tipical non-contact methods. In geometric optical method, the curved laser beam is formed on the cylindrical surface by spreading the inclined laser beam using the cylindrical lens. The curve is captured by CCD camera and the diameter is calculated by geometry. And the interference and diffraction patterns of investigated cylindrical objects are analyzed in interference-diffraction method. In this study, the cylindrical objects, whose diameters are $0.05\;mm\;\~\;100.50\;mm$ were measured by the geometric optical method and interference-diffraction method. The results show that in each method, the relative errors of the measurement are within $2\%$ and $1\%$, respectively and these non-contact methods can be applied in the quick measurement of many objects.

This study proposes a penetration model in soil considering the wake separation and reattachment based on the integrated force law (IFL). Rigid body dynamics, the IFL, and semi-empirical resistance function about soil are utilized to formulate the motion of the hard projectile. The model can predict the trajectory in soil considering the spherical cavity expansion phenomenon under various oblique angles and angles of attack (AOA). The Mohr-Coulomb yield model is utilized as the resistance function of the soil. To confirm the feasibility of the proposed model, a comparative study is conducted with experimental results described in the open literature. From the comparative study, the penetration depth estimated from the proposed model had about 13.4% error compared to that of the experimental results. In general, the finite element method is widely used to predict the trajectory in soil for a projectile. However, it takes considerable time to construct the computational model for the projectile and perform the numerical simulation. The proposed model only needs to the dimension of the projectile and can predict the trajectory of the projectile in a few seconds.

표면유속계는 비접촉식으로 하천의 유량을 측정하는 방식이기 때문에 효율적이며, 특히 홍수발생시 안전한 측정이 가능하다. 이러한 비접촉식 방식이 갖는 장점으로 인해 홍수기 측정에 표면유속계가 널리 활용되고 있다. 하지만 포인트 방식의 표면유속계의 경우에도 측점마다 측정장비를이동하는 과정에서 어느 정도의 측정시간이 소요되며, 측정 시마다 기본적으로 최소 2~3인의 인력을 필요로 한다. 최근 발생하는 홍수사상은 돌발강우에 의해 발생할 뿐만 아니라 단시간 내에 급격한 수위 및 유량변화가 발생하기 때문에 대응하기 매우 어려우며 특히, 야간에 발생하는 호우사상은 야간측정에 따른 안전 사고가 발생할 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 홍수 시 유량측정에 효율적으로 대응할 수 있는 방안으로 다회선 표면유속계를 이용한 유량측정방법을 실제 하천에 적용하고 표면유속을 이용한 다양한 유량산정방법을 실측결과와의 비교를 통해 적용성을 검토하였다. 표면유속계는 다회선 구성이 가능한 레이다유속계(RQ-30) 5대를 활용하였으며, 금강 본류에 위치한 세종시(햇무리교) 관측소를 대상으로 홍수기 유량측정을 수행하였다. 표면유속을 이용한 유량산정방법으로는 5개 유속계의 측정구간을 합산하는 중간단면적법과 표면유속을 지표로하는 지표유속법을 적용하였으며, 유량산정 결과는 기존 관측소의 수위-유량관계의 환산유량과 ADCP를 이용한 실측유량을 비교하였다. 다회선 표면유속 측정시스템을 이용하여 유량을 산정한 결과, 중간단면적법 및 지표유속법 모두 실측치와의 상대오차가 5% 이내로 비교적 정확한 유량측정이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 향후 홍수기 유량측정이 어렵거나 위험한 지점을 대상으로 홍수가 주로 발생하는 기간에 일시적으로 설치하여 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system is a non-contact scanning inspection device with high spatial resolution and wide bandwidth. The amplitude of laser-generated ultrasound is varied according to the energy of pulse laser and the surface conditions of an object where the CW measuring laser beam is pointing. In this paper, we correct the generating errors by measuring the energy of pulse laser beam and correct the measuring errors by extracting the gain information of laser interferometer at each time. h dynamic stabilizer is developed to stably scan on the surface of an object for an laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system. The developed system generates ultrasound after adaptively finding the maximum gain time of an laser interferometer and processes the signal in real time after digitization with high speed. In this paper, we describe hardware configuration and control algorithm to build a stable laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system. Also, we confirmed through experiments that the proposed correction method for the generating errors and measuring errors is effective to improve the performance of a system.

RFID is a technology that uses radio frequency to read information in tags attached to objects or people. Because it reads the information without contact when tracking the location using tags in a RFID system, there can be errors between the actual position and measured position. In this paper, three methods (the method of radiation pattern, the method of the median value, and the method using both the radiation pattern and median value) are proposed to identify the location of objects or people using the RFID technique. The location identification system based on RFID was constructed and tags were arranged in a square pattern. The real location and experimentally predicted location of an object containing a reader were compared to confirm the error. Instead of the existing papers that obtained the approximately location of a reader by calculating the center of gravity of all tags read by that reader, in this study, the predicted location was obtained by the median value and the radiation pattern. This study validated which method was the most efficient among the three methods proposed in this paper through the data of the read tags. As a result, the method of the median value had the smallest error among those assessed.

The discrete element code in 2-D, PFC2D, has been used as a tool to simulate various phenomena in rock mechanics and rock engineering. However, the code has an disadvantage that procedure to determine micro-parameters, namely properties of particles and contacts is repetitive and time-consuming. In this study, we analyzed the effect of micro-parameters(for generation of a contact-bonded model) on macro-properties(that were measured numerically by uniaxial compressive test). Based on the analysis, also, the time-saving and reliable method was suggested to determine a complete set of micro-parameters. In order to verify the suggested method, numerical specimens were generated in PFC2D for 10 different rock types at home and abroad. By the two trials for each specimen, in the result, the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and uniaxial compressive strength could be reproduced with being in relative error by about 5% to the values obtained by laboratory tests.

Vehicle classification system in domestic tollgates is usually to use treadle sensor for calculating wheel width and tread of the vehicle. due to the impact that occurs when the wheels of the vehicle contact, treadle sensor requires high durability. recently, KHC(Korea Highway Corporation) began operating high-speed lane for cargo truck. high-speed cargo truck generate more impact the design criteria of previous treadle. therefore, an increase in the maintenance and management costs of the treadle damage is concerned. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for obtaining optimal wheel width and tread using non-contact treadle sensor that been improved durability from physical impacts. for the verification of the proposed algorithm, a field test was performed using 1/2/3/6 class vehicles based on the KHC's classification criteria. through this experiments, maximum error of the width and the tread is each ${\pm}2cm$ and ${\pm}8cm$, also the accuracy was measured as 98%, 97% or more, and proved that the proposed algorithm valid on to apply to the vehicle classification system.
