In this study, strain measurement and its applicability to estimated deflection curve using fiber bragg grating sensors was conducted. For this purpose, reinforced concrete beams were made and sensors were attached both on the surface of the beams and inside steel. Two types of sensors were used to detect strain on the beams and steel : fiber bragg grating sensors, electric resistance strain sensors. So fatigue test is done with measuring strain of specimen. In addition, this experiments estimates the optimum deflection curve that converts strain curve data measured by FBG sensors into deflection.

An improved analytical model has been developed to calculate an accurate Bragg curve of proton beam with an arbitrary energy. The model takes the transport of the secondary protons produced by the nuclear inelastic reactions into account. By the model, measured Bragg curves of proton beams with ten energies between 250 and 70 MeV are reproduced well. It will serve to obtain fundamental data for treatment planning and for energy scanning.

This paper demonstrates the development of optical temperature sensor based on the etched silica-based planar waveguide Bragg grating. Topics include design and fabrication of the etched planar waveguide Bragg grating optical temperature sensor. The typical bandwidth and reflectivity of the surface etched grating has been ∼0.2nm and ∼9%, respectively, at a wavelength of ∼1552nm. The temperature-induced wavelength change is found to be slightly non-linear over ∼200$^{\circ}C$ temperature range. Typically, the temperature-induced fractional Bragg wavelength shift measured in this experiment is 0.0132nm/$^{\circ}C$ with linear curve fit. Theoretical models with nonlinear temperature effect for the grating response based on waveguide and plate deformation theories agree with experiments to within acceptable tolerance.

Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Sensors as advanced measuring system are introduced and actively being applied to establish a smart monitoring system for bridge maintenance. This study develops FBG sensors and suggests a smart monitoring system. As for its first step, to verify the reliability of FBG sensors that developed, a specimen is made FBG sensors and electric sensor are attached. Then, Static test is conducted on the specimen on the specimens to check reliability. In addition, this study estimates the optimum deflection curve that converts strain curve data measured by FBG sensors into deflection.

단백질 수용액 중의 초음파흡수 mechanism을 규명하기 위하여 pH 7의 소혈청 albumin(BSA)수용액의 초음파흡수 측정을 주파수 100 kHz에서 1600 MHz에 걸쳐 행하였다. 측정방법은 plano-concave 공명법(0.1${\sim}$10 MHz)과 고분해능 Bragg 반사법(120${\sim}$1600 MHz)을 사용하였다. pH7에서의 초음파흡수스펙트럼은 Davidson-Cole 분포식의 거울상인 분포함수를 사용한 완화곡선과 일치하였다. 이 완화현상을 BSA 분자의 수화평행에 의한 것으로 해석하였다.

We used the GEANT4 Monte Carlo MC Toolkit to simulate carbon ion beams incident on water, tissue, and bone, taking into account nuclear fragmentation reactions. Upon increasing the energy of the primary beam, the position of the Bragg-Peak transfers to a location deeper inside the phantom. For different materials, the peak is located at a shallower depth along the beam direction and becomes sharper with increasing electron density NZ. Subsequently, the generated depth dose of the Bragg curve is then benchmarked with experimental data from GSI in Germany. The results exhibit a reasonable correlation with GSI experimental data with an accuracy of between 0.02 and 0.08 cm, thus establishing the basis to adopt MC in heavy-ion treatment planning. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov K-S test further ascertained from a statistical point of view that the simulation data matched the experimentally measured data very well. The two-dimensional isodose contours at the entrance were compared to those around the peak position and in the tail region beyond the peak, showing that bone produces more dose, in comparison to both water and tissue, due to secondary doses. In the water, the results show that the maximum energy deposited per fragment is mainly attributed to secondary carbon ions, followed by secondary boron and beryllium. Furthermore, the number of protons produced is the highest, thus making the maximum contribution to the total dose deposition in the tail region. Finally, the associated spectra of neutrons and photons were analyzed. The mean neutron energy value was found to be 16.29 MeV, and 1.03 MeV for the secondary gamma. However, the neutron dose was found to be negligible as compared to the total dose due to their longer range.

Magnetic field in magnetic bearings is the physical medium to realize magnetic levitation, the distribution of the magnetic field determines the operating performance of magnetic bearings. In this paper, a thin-slice Fiber Bragg Grating-Giant Magnetostrictive Material magnetic sensor used for the air gap of magnetic bearings was proposed and tested in the condition of dynamic magnetic field. The static property of the sensor was calibrated and a polynomial curve was fitted to describe the performance of the sensor. Measurement of dynamic magnetic field with different frequencies in magnetic bearings was implemented. Comparing with the finite element simulations, the results showed the DC component of the magnetic field was detected by the sensor and error was less than 5.87%.

본 논문에서는 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 이용한 외팔보 형태의 복합재 구조물 2차원 형상 모니터링 연구를 수행하였다. 복합재 구조물의 형상을 모니터링하기 위해 NASA에서 개발한 처짐 방정식과 FBG 센서가 부착된 복합재 보를 이용하였으며, 처짐에 따른 복합재 보의 형상을 추정하고 동시에 실제 처짐과 측정된 처짐 크기를 비교하였다. 실험 결과 보의 형상을 성공적으로 추정할 수 있었으나 실제 처짐과 측정된 처짐이 오차가 발생하였다. 하지만 이러한 오차가 선형 관계를 갖고 있어 이를 정량화하여 보정한 후 재 실험한 결과 실제 처짐과 동일한 처짐 크기를 구할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 오차 보상을 잘 활용한다면 외팔보 구조물의 형상 모니터링을 위해 FBG 센서와 처침 방정식이 매우 유용하다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다.

In hadrontherapy, secondary fragments are generated by nuclear interactions of the incident heavy ion beam with the atomic nuclei of the target. It is important to determine the yield of production and the dose contribution of these secondary fragments in order to determine the radiobiological effectiveness more accurately. This work aims to fully identify the secondary fragments generated by nuclear interactions of proton and helium (⁴He) ion beams in a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) target and to investigate the dose contributions by secondary fragments. Incident protons with energies of 55.90 MeV and 105.20 MeV and helium ions with energies of 52.55 MeV/u and 103.50 MeV/u in the HDPE phantom have been investigated by the means of Geant4 Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Simulated results were validated using NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) Bragg curves experimental data. The results showed that the dose contribution of secondary fragments deriving from helium ion beams is three times higher than in the case of proton beams. This is due to a higher production of nuclear fragments in the case of helium ion beams. This work contributes to a better understanding of secondary fragments generated by protons and helium ions in the HDPE target.
