In these days, the piezoresistive material has been applied to various sensors in order to measure the change of physical quantities. But the relationship between the sensitivity of a sensor and the position and size of piezoresistor has rarely been studied. Therefore, this paper was focused on the distribution of the resistance change ratio on the diaphragm and bridge surface where piezoresistor would be formed, and proposed the proper size and position of piezoresistor with which the sensitivity of sensor was increased. As the width of mass and boss was increased, the distance between piezoresistors was closed and the maximum value of resistance change ratio was decreased by the increase of the structure stiffness. And according to the increment of seismic mass size, the value of resistance change ratio is decreased by increase of the structure stiffness. Y directional piezoresistor is formed in the position of $100\mu{m}\;apart\;from\;cantilever\;edge\;and\;length\;of\;that\;is\;800\mu{m}$.

원자힘현미경은 초미세크기의 물리적 특성을 규명하기 위한 수단으로서 지지 지질층의 물리적특성 규명에 이용되어 왔다. 원자힘현미경이 출현하기 이전에는 초미세관점에서 지지 지질층에서 발생하는 물리적 현상의 관찰이 전무하였다. 이 현미경은 탐침바늘(Cantilever)로 표면을 주사(Scanning)함으로써 표면의 초미세 형상(Morphology)을 제공하고 표면에 접근(Approach)했다가 후퇴(Retraction)하는 탐침바늘의 거동을 모니터링함으로써 힘곡선(Force Curve)을 나타낼 수 있다. 형상 파악을 통해 지지 지질층의 구조와 막 단백질이 지질층의 구조에 미치는 영향을 밝히는 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 힘곡선을 통하여 지지 지질층 표면 특성-기계적 정전기적 특성-에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 본 총설에서는 원자힘현미경을 이용하여 현재까지 진행된 지지 지질층의 구조와 표면 특성 연구에 대하여 소개하고 향후 연구 진행 방향에 대하여 논의하고자 한다.

Energy harvesting from the environment has been of great interest as a standalone power source of wireless sensor nodes for Ubiquitous Sensor Networks(USN). In particular, the piezoelectric energy harvesting from ambient vibration sources has intensively researched because it has a relatively high power density comparing with other energy scavenging methods. Through recent advances in low power consumption RF transmitters and sensors, it is possible to adopt a micro-power energy harvesting system realized by MEMS technology for the system-on-chip. However, the MEMS energy harvesting system has some drawbacks such as a high natural frequency over 300 Hz and a small power generation due to a small dimension. To overcome these limitations, we devised a novel power generator with a spiral spring structure as shown in the figure. The natural frequency of a cantilever could be decreased to the usable frequency region (under 300 Hz) because the natural frequency depends on the length of a cantilever. In this study, the natural frequency of the energy harvester was a lower than a normal cantilever structure and sufficiently controllable in 50 - 200 Hz frequency region as adjusting weight of a proof mass. Moreover, the MEMS energy harvester had a high energy conversion efficiency using a shear mode ($d_{15}$) is much larger than a 33 mode ($d_{33}$) and the energy conversion efficiency is proportional to the piezoelectric constant (d). We expect the spiral type MEMS power generator would be a good candidate for a standalone power generator for USN.

본 연구는 변위를 추정하기 위한 가속도 시간 적분 방법의 단점을 완화하기 위해 구조물의 가속도와 모드 형상을 이용한 보 구조물 변위 추정 기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 가속도 시간 적분 방법은 구조물의 초기 조건을 알기 어렵고 잡음에 의한 오차가 누적되기 쉽다는 문제가 있었다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 모드 중첩법에 기반을 두는 변위 추정기법을 도출하였고 기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 2가지의 외팔보 진동 실험을 수행하였다. 실험으로부터 측정된 가속도 데이터와 외팔보의 모드 형상을 이용하여 보 구조물 정적 변위와 동적 변위를 추정하였고 레이저 변위 센서를 이용하여 직접 측정된 변위와 비교하였다. 이를 통해 제안된 보 구조물 변위 추정 기법의 타당성 및 유용성을 검증하였으며 추정한 변위와 직접 측정한 변위가 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

Cantilever beam MEMS piezoelectric accelerometers are the simplest and most widely used accelerometer structure. This paper discusses the design of a piezoelectric accelerometer exclusively for SHM applications. While such accelerometers need to operate at a lower frequency range, they also need to possess high sensitivity and low noise floor. The availability of a simple model for deflection, charge, and voltage sensitivities will make the accelerometer design procedure less cumbersome. However, a review of the open literature suggests that such a model has not yet been proposed. In addition, previous works either depended on FEM analysis or only reported on the fabrication and characterization of piezoelectric accelerometers. Hence, this paper presents, for the first time, a simple analytical model developed for the deflection, induced voltage, and charge sensitivity of a cantilever beam piezoelectric accelerometer.The model is then verified using FEM analysis for a range of different cases. Further, the model was validated by comparing the induced voltages of an accelerometer estimated using this model with experimental voltages measured in the accelerometer after fabrication. Subsequently, the design of an accelerometer is demonstrated for SHM applications using the analytical model developed in this work. The designed accelerometer has 60 mV/g voltage sensitivity and 2.4 pC/g charge sensitivity, which are relatively high values compared to those of the piezoresistive and capacitive accelerometers for SHM applications reported earlier.

최근 들어 국내의 교량 확장 보도부에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 교량 확장 보도부에 적용되는 내민보는 부착식 앵커 볼트를 이용한 구조를 사용하고 있다. 그러나 현재 적용되고 있는 내민보의 경우 정확한 기준이 없는 상태로 설치 간격 및 단면 등이 과다 설계되고 있으며 과다한 중량에 의한 시공상의 문제점들도 발생하고 있다. 또한 연결되는 부착식 후설치 앵커 볼트에 관한 실험 및 해석 결과 등이 충분치 않기 때문에 불필요한 앵커 볼트의 수량을 증대시키고 있다. 이에 이 논문에서는 앵커 연결된 내민보의 구조 거동 평가 실험을 통해 기존의 내민보의 단면을 최적화하여 단면의 효율성을 확보하고, 불필요한 앵커 볼트의 수량을 줄일 수 있는 기법을 제안하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 내민보의 파괴는 부착식 앵커의 부착 파괴에 지배되는 것으로 나타났으며, 압축 측의 앵커 개수를 감소시켜도 부재의 안전성에는 크게 문제가 없는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 내민보의 형상을 변화시키고 프리스트레싱을 도입함으로서 사용 상태의 사용성도 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Spring supported piezoelectric cantilever structures (SPCS) were fabricated for vibration-based energy harvester application. We selected four elastic springs (A, B, C, and D type) as cantilever's supporter, each elastic spring has a different spring constant (S). The C type of SPCS ($S_C$: 4,649 N/m) showed a extremely low resonance frequency of 81 Hz along with the highest power output of 38.5 mW while the A type of SPCS ($S_A$: 40,629 N/m) didn't show a resonance frequency while. Therefore, it is considered that the lower spring constant lead to a lower resonance frequency of the SPCS. In addition, a tip mass (18 g) at one end of the SPCS could further reduce the resonance frequency without heavy degradation of power output.

Nowadays, there is a high demand for great structural implementation and multifunctionality with excellent mechanical properties. The porous structures reinforced by graphene platelets (GPLs) having valuable properties, such as heat resistance, lightweight, and excellent energy absorption, have been considerably used in different engineering implementations. However, stiffness of porous structures reduces significantly, due to the internal cavities, by adding GPLs into porous medium, effective mechanical properties of the porous structure considerably enhance. This paper is relating to vibration analysis of fluidconveying cantilever porous graphene platelet reinforced (GPLR) pipe with fractional viscoelastic model resting on foundations. A dynamical model of cantilever porous GPLR pipes conveying fluid and resting on a foundation is proposed, and the vibration, natural frequencies and primary resonant of such a system are explored. The pipe body is considered to be composed of GPLR viscoelastic polymeric pipe with porosity in which Halpin-Tsai scheme in conjunction with the fractional viscoelastic model is used to govern the construction relation of nanocomposite pipe. Three different porosity distributions through the pipe thickness are introduced. The harmonic concentrated force is also applied to the pipe and the excitation frequency is close to the first natural frequency. The governing equation for transverse motions of the pipe is derived by the Hamilton principle and then discretized by the Galerkin procedure. In order to obtain the frequency-response equation, the differential equation is solved with the assumption of small displacement, damping coefficient, and excitation amplitude by the multiple scale method. A parametric sensitivity analysis is carried out to reveal the influence of different parameters, such as nanocomposite pipe properties, fluid velocity and nonlinear viscoelastic foundation coefficients, on the primary resonance and linear natural frequency. Results indicate that the GPLs weight fraction porosity coefficient, fractional derivative order and the retardation time have substantial influences on the dynamic response of the system.
