Dynamic displacement of structures is an important index for in-service structural condition and behavior assessment, but accurate measurement of structural displacement for large-scale civil structures such as long-span bridges still remains as a challenging task. In this paper, a vision-based dynamic displacement measurement system with the use of digital image processing technology is developed, which is featured by its distinctive characteristics in non-contact, long-distance, and high-precision structural displacement measurement. The hardware of this system is mainly composed of a high-resolution industrial CCD (charge-coupled-device) digital camera and an extended-range zoom lens. Through continuously tracing and identifying a target on the structure, the structural displacement is derived through cross-correlation analysis between the predefined pattern and the captured digital images with the aid of a pattern matching algorithm. To validate the developed system, MTS tests of sinusoidal motions under different vibration frequencies and amplitudes and shaking table tests with different excitations (the El-Centro earthquake wave and a sinusoidal motion) are carried out. Additionally, in-situ verification experiments are performed to measure the mid-span vertical displacement of the suspension Tsing Ma Bridge in the operational condition and the cable-stayed Stonecutters Bridge during loading tests. The obtained results show that the developed system exhibits an excellent capability in real-time measurement of structural displacement and can serve as a good complement to the traditional sensors.

최근 캠코더와 같은 영상 장비의 고성능화 및 대중화, 그리고 화상 처리(image procession) 기술의 발달 등으로 인하여 영상 기반의 구조물 동적변위 계측에 관한 연구가 활발하며, 이러한 연구개발의 결과로 관련 시스템의 사용성 및 정확도가 많이 개선되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 영상 기반 시스템의 경우 장비 측면에서 볼 때 영상 장비 자체의 진동에 의한 오차, 화상 처리 과정에서의 오차 등을 개선할 필요가 있으며, 또한 적용 측면에서 볼 때 교량의 수직 처짐이나 건축구조물의 수평변위 계측에 제한되어 있어 부유체의 파랑응답과 같은 3차원 운동을 하는 구조물에 대한 확장이 필요한 시점이다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 영상 기반 동적변위 계측방법을 3차원 문제에 적용하기 위하여 다중 표적(multiple target)을 사용한 방법을 제시하고, 또한 화상 처리 과정에서의 정량적 판단 기준을 제시함으로써 간접적으로 영상 기반 시스템의 계측 정확도를 평가하여, 영상 기반 방법에 의하여 계측된 동적변위 계측결과의 유효성을 판단할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 방법을 $50m{\times}30m{\times}5m$ 규모의 대형 부유체에 대한 실해역 파랑 응답 실험에 적용하여, 부유체의 동적변위를 계측하였으며, 그 결과를 기존의 RTK-GPS(Real Time Kinematics-Global Positioning System), MRU(Motion Reference Unit) 등의 장비를 이용한 계측결과와 비교함으로써 그 성능을 검증하였다.

In recently site investigations, the need for the determination of dynamic soil properties such as dynamic modules of rigidity, elasticity, dynamic poison's ratio and damping ratio etc. is increasing for the astigmatic designs of the civil structures. To obtain some of the dynamic properties, measurement of elastic waves velocity, both P and S wave, is required. Among various methods to measure elastic wave velocity such and Down Hole, Cross Hole and Refraction etc., Suspension P.S. Logging has an advantage to use for the off-shore investigation where generation of the shock wave and traveling of the wave is difficult. In suspension P.S. logging, specially designed prove equipped with source of shock wave, two 3-channel receivers, departing 1m distance, and other auxiliary facilities is inserted down in a bore hole bottom and raised in predetermined interval, usually 1m or 2m, and measurement is conducted. P.S. logging have been conducted in a off-shore construction project near InChon in the west coast for the first in the country, and form the result, potential of the liquefaction of the subsoil was evaluated and compared with the conventional method.

Dynamic pricing refers to a system in which a tariff varies, according to a level of charging and applied time depending on time change. The power billing system used in the Korean Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) is based on time of use (TOU) pricing, which is one of the dynamic pricing systems. This paper aimed to determine the operational results of a variable refrigerant flow system, to which a new control algorithm was applied, in order to respond to dynamic pricing, in summer and the utility of the new control. To do this, real measured data was acquired from a VRF system installed in a building for educational purposes, where dynamic pricing was applied for about 100 days during summer time. At the maximum load operation time period in TOU, the new control minimized operation within the indoor comfort range, an increase in refrigerant evaporation temperature in the indoor unit and the number of revolutions in a compressor in the outdoor unit was limited. As a result, power usage was decreased by 11%, and the operational cost by 14.6%. Furthermore, measurement results using the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) model, that represented satisfaction of thermal environment, showed that 82.8% to 90.4% of the occupants of the building were satisfied during operation when the new control was applied.

In this paper, dynamic displacement is estimated with high accuracy by blending high-sampling rate acceleration data with low-sampling rate displacement measurement using a two-stage Kalman estimator. In Stage 1, the two-stage Kalman estimator first approximates dynamic displacement. Then, the estimator in Stage 2 estimates a bias with high accuracy and refines the displacement estimate from Stage 1. In the previous Kalman filter based displacement techniques, the estimation accuracy can deteriorate due to (1) the discontinuities produced when the estimate is adjusted by displacement measurement and (2) slow convergence at the beginning of estimation. To resolve these drawbacks, the previous techniques adopt smoothing techniques, which involve additional future measurements in the estimation. However, the smoothing techniques require more computational time and resources and hamper real-time estimation. The proposed technique addresses the drawbacks of the previous techniques without smoothing. The performance of the proposed technique is verified under various dynamic loading, sampling rate and noise level conditions via a series of numerical simulations and experiments. Its performance is also compared with those of the existing Kalman filter based techniques.

모델링을 통한 교량구조물의 동적인 특성은 주로 구조물의 기학학적 형상에서 계산된 강성과 질량에 의해서 결정된다. 따라서 본 연구는 합성단면을 갖는 강판형거더교량의 FE 모델링 기법을 제시하고 제시된 모델링 기법은 실계측된 동특성과 비교 분석하여 유용성을 제시했다. 제시된 FE 모델링 기법은 단순화된 1-2차원 모델과 3차원 상세모델로 구분하여 각각의 기법을 제안하고 유용성을 보여 주었다. 구조물의 동적 응답은 상부 슬래브를 지지하는 거더에 가속도계를 부착하여 일반 차량하중 상태에서 발생하는 상시 진동에 의해 측정되었다. 이렇게 측정된 교차파워스펙트럼을 역퓨리에 변환에 의해 교차상관함수로 변환하여 구조물의 특성을 분석하였다. 이들결과는 FE모델링의 결과와 비교하여 제안된 모델링 기법의 유용성을 제시하였다.

유한요소 해석(FEA: finite element analysis)의 발달로 복잡한 기계나 자동차 및 구조물에 대해서도 상세한 진동해석을 할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나, 복잡한 구조물을 정확하게 모형화하기 어렵고, 특히 접합부의 강성과 감쇠 특성을 알기 어렵고, 복잡한 형상을 단순화하는 과정에서 발생하는 오차 등의 이유로 유한요소해석 결과는 부정확할 수 있다. 반면에 실제 구조물의 실험 데이터로부터 추출한 실험적 모드해석(modal testing) 결과는 상세하지는 않지만 정확하다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 실험 결과가 구조물의 진동 특성을 정확하게 나타낸다는 가정은 여러 가지 측정 오차로 인하여 정확하지 않을 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 실험적 모드해석의 기본이 되는 FRF(frequency response function; 주파수 응답함수)의 측정에 영향을 미치는 오차들을 측정 오차와 신호처리 오차로 구분하여 각각에 대해 세밀히 살펴보고, 그러한 오차들을 감소함으로써 보다 정확한 FRF를 구하는 방법에 대해서 고찰해보았다.

Enhancement methods of sensitivity to in-plane strain measurement by micro-ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) technique were proposed using TiN and Au thin films. Micro-tensile strain over the micro-tensile specimens, prepared in micro-scale by those films, was measured by micro-tensile loading system and micro-ESPI system developed in this study. The subsequent measurement of in-plane tensile strain in the micro-sized specimens was introduced using the micro-ESPI technique, and the micro-tensile stress-strain curves for these films were determined. To enhance the sensitivity to measurement of in-plane tensile strain, algorithms of the phase estimation by using curve fitting of inter-fringe and the discrete Fourier Transform with object-induced dynamic phase shifting were developed. Using these two algorithms, the micro-tensile strain-stress curves were generated. It is shown that the algorithms for enhancement of the sensitivity suggested in this study make the sensitivity to measurement of the in-plane tensile strain increase.

This paper presents the new method for a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion measurement and those dynamic characterizations in an ultraprecision linear stage using angle sensor-implemented grating interferometry. It consists of a diffractive optical element, a corner cube, four separate two-dimensional position sensitive detectors, four photodiodes and auxiliary optics components. From the previous study, it was confirmed that the proposed optical system could measure a six-DOF motion error in a linear stage. In this article, six-DOF motion dynamic characteristics of the stage were investigated through the step response and with respect to the conditions with a different speed of a slide table. As a result, the natural frequency and damping ratio according to a six-DOF direction was obtained. Also, it was seen that the speed of slide table had an significant effect on a six-DOF displacement motion, especially, X, which was considered as the effect of friction mechanism and local elastic mechanical deformation in a slide guide.
