A specially designed tendon, which is proposed by embedding an FBG sensor into the center king cable of a 7-wire strand tendon, was applied to monitor the prestress force and load transfer of ground anchor. A series of tensile tests and a model pullout test were performed to verify the feasibility of the proposed smart tendon as a measuring sensor of tension force and load transfer along the tendon. The smart tendon has proven to be very effective for monitoring prestress force and load transfer by measuring the strain change of the tendon at the free part and the fixed part of ground anchor, respectively. Two 11.5 m long proto-type ground anchors were made simply by replacing a tendon with the proposed smart tendon and prestress forces of each anchor were monitored during the loading-unloading step using both FBG sensor embedded in the smart tendon and the conventional load cell. By comparing the prestress forces measured by the smart tendon and load cell, it was found that the prestress force monitored from the FBG sensor located at the free part is comparable to that measured from the conventional load cell. Furthermore, the load transfer of prestressing force at the tendon-grout interface was clearly measured from the FBGs distributed along the fixed part. From these pullout tests, the proposed smart tendon is not only expected to be an alternative monitoring tool for measuring prestress force from the introducing stage to the long-term period for health monitoring of the ground anchor but also can be used to improve design practice through determining the economic fixed length by practically measuring the load transfer depth.

The rock fragmentation system with a capacitor bank, switching device, cable and blasting electrode are described. Utilization of the chemical energy from the electrolyte and the pseudospark with a large current capacity suggested the commercialization possibility of the rock fragmentation system. The vibration and noise level of the pulsed blasting is acceptable in the most ground breaking. And also the electromagnetic force produced by the inductor is introduced for the rock fragmentation.

The study is indispensable for the dynamic behaviors because this Cable-stayed long span bridge ; has a more flexible structure than normal bridge can have weaknesses which are impact factor, deflection and defectives etc. This study analyze the dynamic behavior by an analysis of the moving constant train force on railway with Midas/Civil that is a commercial finite element analysis tool about Extradosed PSC Bridge. Also it will be checked the dynamic behavior features and standard of the dynamic capability.

This paper try to find root-cause of failure in a connector used in transmitting signals for throttle body control in automotives by analyzing possible failure causes and performing experiments to simulate the cable failure in field. The connector comprises fins, wires, and case moldings. The failure is due to degradation of initial clamping force required fixing fins and wires in the connector. Expansion and compression of the case molding material surrounding fins would cause the degradation. Investigations of strict initial claming force and control of thermal expansion property of the molding are required to prevent the failure.

Master and slave of teleoperation control system through internet or long distance cable must keep stable. If one part becomes unstable or time delay happens in network, the all system can become unstable. Usually stability of teleoperation control system can distinguish by passivity. In this paper, we implemented bilateral teleopcration control system that load passivity controller to keep stability of system. Composed by manipulator that trillion this sricks and horizontal manufacturing that have force reflecting function are available and embodied so that control through wireless LAN may be available. And distinguished stability through an experiment and manufacturing performance.

Obvious vortex induced vibration (VIV) was observed during section model wind tunnel tests for a single main cable suspension bridge. An optimized section configuration was found for mitigating excessive amplitude of vibration which is much larger than the one prescribed by Chinese code. In order to verify the maximum amplitude of VIV for optimized girder, a full bridge aeroelastic model wind tunnel test was carried out. The differences between section and full aeroelastic model testing results were discussed. The maximum amplitude derived from section model tests was first interpreted into prototype with a linear VIV approach by considering partial or imperfect correlation of vortex-induced aerodynamic force along span based on Scanlan's semi-empirical linear model. A good consistency between section model and full bridge model was found only by considering the correlation of vortex-induced force along span.

The Space structures may have large freedom in scale and form. And especially Hybrid structures are received much attention from the view points of their light weight and aesthetics. Hybrid systems are stable structures which are reticulated spatial structures composed of compressive straight members, struts and cables and Membranes. In this paper, The Hybrid Unit System are suggested using the Membrane and Cable elements based on the Tensegrity Unit system. Also, The Hybrid System of double-layered single curvature is presented. We analyze the force density method allowing form-finding for Tensegrity systems. And We analyze the shape analysis by the LARSH which is the program for nonlinear analysis.

South anchorage(AN1, Myodo side) of supension bridge between Myodo and Gwangyang is designed as rock anchorage with 36m anchor length using the resistance of rock mass in Myodo. Checking the overall stability of the anchorage, we considered rock joints, bedding planes, fault zones and condition of rock structure in situ by analysis results for photo-lineaments, aerial photograph interpretation and drill-hole logs are considered. This anchorage consists of an access shaft, adit, and the upper and lower concrete bearing plate to introduce pre-stressing force into rock mass.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for healthcare services that can periodically monitor health status and maintain health by increasing the weight training population. However, injuries in the absence of trainer are increasing with the increase in the number of members in the fitness training center. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can periodically monitor the user's exercise state and assist in systematic and safe exercise even when the trainer is absent. In this study, we developed an auto training system that can effectively manage the exerciser while supporting the strength movement. The auto training system consists of a cable mount module, a control module, and a training information monitoring module. In order to evaluate performance of the developed system, the assistant force tests are carried out. Experimental results showed that the assistant force works well when the exerciser is out of power.

This study evaluated the contact resistance, insulation resistance, withstand voltage characteristics and insertion force, etc., of the wire connector used inside an integrated LITE WAY lighting fixture developed for efficient installation. Since the connector connecting the lighting fixture's internal wires is housed, it is easily connected and separated and has a structure enabling a close-fitting connection. The temperature and time applied to the high temperature characteristics test of the connector are $105^{\circ}C$ and 16 hours, respectively. The measured contact resistance of the high temperature tested connector was 3.258 mV/A, and its measured insulation resistance was greater than $10\;G{\Omega}$ All specimens demonstrated uniform insulation characteristics, which could be seen to be in good condition. From the withstand voltage test results found before and after performing the high temperature operation test on the connector for cable connection, it was confirmed that the withstand voltage characteristics between all terminals were good. The insertion force of the connector connecting the internal wiring averaged 9.67 kgf. It was observed that the insertion force between the plug housing and the female terminal, and that between the plug housing and the male terminal, were 0.680 kgf and 1.27 kgf on average, respectively.
