Evaluating stiffness of near-surface materials has been one of the critically important tasks in many civil engineering works. It is the main goal of geotechnical characterization. The so-called deflection-response method evaluates the stiffness by measuring stress-strain behavior of the materials caused by static or dynamic load. This method, however, evaluates the overall stiffness and the stiffness variation with depth cannot be obtained. Furthermore, evaluation of a large-area geotechnical site by this method can be time-consuming, expensive, and damaging to many surface points of the site. Wave-propagation method, on the other hand, measures seismic velocities at different depths and stiffness profile (stiffness change with depth) can be obtained from the measured velocity data. The stiffness profile is often expressed by shear-wave (S-wave) velocity change with depth because S-wave velocity is proportional to the shear modulus. that is a direct indicator of stiffiiess. The crosshole and downhole method measures the seismic velocity by placing sources and receivers (geophones) at different depths in a borehole. Requirement of borehole installation makes this method also time-consuming, expensive, and damaging to the sites. Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method places both source and receivers at the surface, and records horizontally-propagating surface waves. Based upon the theory of surfacewave dispersion, the seismic velocities at different depths are calculated by analyzing the recorded surface-wave data. This method can be nondestructive to the sites. However, because only two receivers are used, the method requires multiple measurements with different field setups and, therefore, the method often becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore. the inclusion of noise wavefields cannot be handled properly, and this may cause the results by this method inaccurate. When multi-channel recording method is employed during the measurement of surface-waves, there are several benefits. First, usually single measurement is enough because multiple number (twelve or more) of receivers are used. Second, noise inclusion can be detected by coherency checking on the multi-channel data and handled properly so that it does not decrease the accuracy of the result. Third, various kinds of multi-channel processing techniques can be applied to f1lter unwanted noise wavefields and also to analyze the surface-wavefields more accurately and efficiently. In this way, the accuracy of the result by the method can be significantly improved. Fourth, the entire system of source, receivers, and recording-processing device can be tied into one unit, and the unit can be pulled by a small vehicle, making the survey speed very fast. In all these senses, multi-channel recording of surface waves is best suited for a routine method for geotechnical characterization in most of civil engineering works.

Purpose. Because of a recent increase in use of soft contact lens at younger ages, in the present study, the correlation between corneal eccentricity and radius of curvature and fitting types of contact lens was investigated. Methods. The study evaluated the fitting status of targets through lens centration, push-up test, dynamic lag test and static lag test of lenses usually worn by 49 men and women (98eyes) in their 20s to 30s who put on soft contact lenses. After evaluation, the subjects were classified into 3 categories by fitting status(steep, aligment and flat). The radius of corneal curvature in the naked eyes was measured by using keratometer. Moreover the corneal eccentricity in the nasal side, temporal side, superior side and inferior side was measured by using the device capable of measuring the corneal eccentricity. Results. The radius of corneal curvature and corneal eccentricity of soft lenses worn by subjects were higher in the order of steep fitting and flat fitting, and the higher average corneal curvature radius and corneal eccentricity is intend to be more steep fitting(p=0.051, p=0.052). The corneal eccentricity showed a tendency to nasal fitting type at the higher eccentricity and temporal fitting type at the smaller eccentricity, statistically significant difference was observed(p<0.05). The study showed there were low correlation that nasal and temporal side at steep fitting, superior side at normal fitting and 4side(nasal, temporal, superior, inferior) at flat fitting, therefore when the corneal eccentricity changed the radius of corneal curvature also changed. The corneal eccentricity and the radius of corneal curvature showed statistically significant difference at 4side and each fitting types(p<0.05). Conclusions. The results of this study, the fitting status, of wearer are based on radius of corneal curvature and corneal eccentricity, and if lens fitting would be done considering that, it seems to be useful in a soft contact lens prescription.

The US railroad network carries 40% of the nation's total freight. Railroad bridges are the most critical part of the network infrastructure and, therefore, must be properly maintained for the operational safety. Railroad managers inspect bridges by measuring displacements under train crossing events to assess their structural condition and prioritize bridge management and safety decisions accordingly. The displacement of a railroad bridge under train crossings is one parameter of interest to railroad bridge owners, as it quantifies a bridge's ability to perform safely and addresses its serviceability. Railroad bridges with poor track conditions will have amplified displacements under heavy loads due to impacts between the wheels and rail joints. Under these circumstances, vehicle-track-bridge interactions could cause excessive bridge displacements, and hence, unsafe train crossings. If displacements during train crossings could be measured objectively, owners could repair or replace less safe bridges first. However, data on bridge displacements is difficult to collect in the field as a fixed point of reference is required for measurement. Accelerations can be used to estimate dynamic displacements, but to date, the pseudo-static displacements cannot be measured using reference-free sensors. This study proposes a method to estimate total transverse displacements of a railroad bridge under live train loads using acceleration and tilt data at the top of the exterior pile bent of a standard timber trestle, where train derailment due to excessive lateral movement is the main concern. Researchers used real bridge transverse displacement data under train traffic from varying bridge serviceability levels. This study explores the design of a new bridge deck-pier experimental model that simulates the vibrations of railroad bridges under traffic using a shake table for the input of train crossing data collected from the field into a laboratory model of a standard timber railroad pile bent. Reference-free sensors measured both the inclination angle and accelerations of the pile cap. Various readings are used to estimate the total displacements of the bridge using data filtering. The estimated displacements are then compared to the true responses of the model measured with displacement sensors. An average peak error of 10% and a root mean square error average of 5% resulted, concluding that this method can cost-effectively measure the total displacement of railroad bridges without a fixed reference.

현존하는 진동 측정 센서는 정밀도 면에서는 대부분의 진동을 측정하기에 충분하나, 센서 한 개로 하나의 지점이나 방향에 한정하여 측정할 수밖에 없다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 반면 카메라의 경우, 정밀도나 측정 가능한 주파수 영역의 면에서는 다소 불리하지만, 한 번에 광범위한 영역의 진동을 측정할 수 있고 가격 면에서 유리하며 다자유도의 진동을 동시에 측정할 수 있다는 큰 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저가의 머신 비전 카메라가 진동 측정 센서로서 어느 정도의 오차 범위 내에서 진동을 측정할 수 있는지 알아본 후, 실제 외팔보의 진동을 측정하였다. 카메라의 2차원 평면 이미지는 두 방향의 직선 운동과 한 방향의 회전 운동을 나타낼 수 있다. 먼저 단일 점의 진동을 카메라로 측정하고, LDV(Laser Doppler Vibrometer) 측정을 기준으로 한 카메라 측정의 오차를 실험적으로 교정하였다. 다음으로 다중점의 진동을 한 번에 측정하여 회전 진동과 외팔보 전체 형상의 진동을 측정하였다. 외팔보 전체 형상 진동은 주파수와 시간 영역 모두에 대하여 분석하였다.

척추 및 보행질환 등에서 재활과 교정을 위하여 정형외과 및 가정 등에서는 견인운동치료기를 주로 사용하고 있다. 하지만 견인운동치료기를 사용함에 있어 간혹 무리하게 사용함에 따라 인체에 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 지속적인 견인력 작용을 이용한 치료방법에 견인운동치료기를 이용하는데, 이 때 작용하는 견인력을 측정하여 운동 시간을 조절할 필요가 있다. 그러나 현재 출시되고 있는 제품에는 견인력을 측정하는 센서가 대부분이 장착되어 있지 않고 있다. 그래서 스트레인 게이지를 이용한 견인측정센서, 출력신호로서의 변환을 위한 증폭기 및 성능 검증을 위하여 측정용 실험 장치를 설계 제작하고, 이를 이용하여 견인측정센서를 실험 하였다. 견인 부하에 따른 견인측정센서의 전기적 반응치를 측정하고 분석 결과, 캘리브레이션을 통하여 센서는 선형적인 출력을 보였고 환자의 움직임 여부에 관계없이 일정하게 견인측정센서의 반응이 나타남을 알 수가 있었다. 정적인 상태에서의 실험에서 최대 에러율이 약 1%이내이고, 동적인 실험에서 평균 에러율이 약 0.7%로 나타났다. 온도 변화에 따른 견인측정센서의 최대 출력치 변화량(output variation)이 약 0.3%이므로 견인 측정용 센서로 사용 가능하다고 판단된다.
