Fiber-Fabry-Perot (FFP) tunable filters, the essential component of WDM transmission, were designed, fabricated and characterized. Multi-layered thin film mirrors that consists of an optical collimater's corss section as a substrate and TiO$_{2}$SiO$_{2}$ alternating multi-layered films as a filter wer designed by means of the transfer matrix method. Fabricated mirrors showed the high reflectivity over around 98% as expected. After fabricating the tuneable filters using PZT, we measured FSR, FWHM, finesse , crosstalk and insertion loss, confirming that the built devices satisfied the optical filter's specifications required in the SEDM transmission systems.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is being developed to guide various ophthalmic surgical procedures. However, the high cost of the intraoperative OCT system limits its availability mostly to the largest hospitals and healthcare systems. In this paper, we present a design and evaluation of a low-cost intraoperative common-path free-hand scanning OCT system. The lensed fiber imaging probe is designed and fabricated for intraocular use and the free-hand scanning algorithm that could operate at a low scanning speed was developed. Since the system operates at low frequencies, the cost of the overall system is significantly lower than other commercial intraoperative OCT systems. The assembled system is characterized and shows that it meets the design specifications. The handheld OCT imaging probe is tested on multilayer tape phantom and ex-vivo porcine eyes. The results show that the system could be used as an intraoperative intraocular OCT imaging device.

Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. Reducing the flange-web slenderness ratios (FSR/WSR) of beams is the most effective way in mitigating local member buckling as stipulated in the latest seismic design specifications. However, existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack the adequate slenderness ratios set forth for new buildings are vulnerable to local member buckling and thereby system-wise instability prior to reaching the required plastic rotation capacities specified for new buildings. This paper presents results from a research study investigating the cyclic behavior of steel I-beams modified by a welded haunch at the bottom flange and reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymers at the plastic hinge region. Cantilever I-sections with a triangular haunch at the bottom flange and flange slenderness ratios higher then those stipulated in current design specifications were analyzed under reversed cyclic loading. Beam sections with different depth/width and flange/web slenderness ratios (FSR/WSR) were considered. The effect of GFRP thickness, width, and length on stabilizing plastic local buckling was investigated. The FEA results revealed that the contribution of GFRP strips to mitigation of local buckling increases with increasing depth/width ratio and decreasing FSR and WSR. Provided that the interfacial shear strength of the steel/GFRP bond surface is at least 15 MPa, GFRP reinforcement can enable deep beams with FSR of 8-9 and WSR below 55 to maintain plastic rotations in the order of 0.02 radians without experiencing any local buckling.

Recently, one of the authors has been reported an optically tunable fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a photomechanical polymer. It was based on a typical FBG with a downsized diameter of 60 ㎛, coated with azobenzene-containing polymer material. Azobenzene is a well-known reversibly photomechanical stretchable material under ultraviolet (UV) light. The small part of the functional-coating region on the FBG absorbed UV light, which pulled the UV-exposed part of the grating. It was selectable as tunable FBG or tunable chirped FBG, by adjusting the position of UV exposure on the grating. As proof of concept for the tunable FBG device, the characteristics just including UV-induced center-wavelength shift and spectral-width changes of the device were reported. In this paper, we report for the first time that the microactuator makes it possible to control the spectral shape of the FBG reflection, according to the specifications (shape and intensity) of the UV beam that reaches the FBG coated with the azobenzene polymer. In addition, we provide the group-delay profiles for the chirped FBG, so that the sign of its dispersion (normal or anomalous) can be tailored by simply selecting the moving direction of the UV light's displacement in the experiment.

플레저 선박은 주로 FRP(Fiber reinforced plastic)를 주재료로 제작되고 있으나 2000년대에 들어오면서 FRP 선체에 대한 환경오염 및 해양안전에 관한 법규 규제가 강화되고 있다. 즉, FRP는 재활용이 불가능하며 폐기시 자연에서 분해되는 데 100년이상 걸리는 매우 반환경적 특성을 가지고 있다. 일반 선체 재료로서는 강, 알루미늄, FRP를 제안하고 있으며 이에 따른 구조설계규격 및 재료설계강도를 제안하고 있다. 그러나 소형 선박에 적합한 염가 재료에 대한 연구는 전혀 진행되지 않고 있으며 단지 소형조선산 업계에서 카누나 카약 선체를 폴리에틸렌을 이용하여 제작하여 판매하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고 밀도 폴리에틸렌을 이용하여 보트를 설계 및 제작하기 위하여 실적선을 기초로 선체의 선형을 완성한 뒤 ISO 12215-5의 소형 선체에 대한 구조설계기준을 적용하여 선체 치수를 결정하였다.

본 연구에서는 교량의 보강재료로써 주목받고 있으며, 적용이 이루어지고 있는 탄소섬유시트(CFS) 및 새롭게 개발된 탄소섬유스트랜드시트(CFSS)를 이용하여 RC 상판 공시체에 접착보강하고, 보강을 통한 내피로성의 평가 및 RC 상판 공시체의 압축강도가 보강효과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 윤하중 피로 실험을 통해 내피로성을 평가한 결과, 기존의 CFS 전면접착보강 공법에 비해 새롭게 개발된 CFSS 격자접착보강 공법의 보강효과는 1.2~1.3배의 보강효과가 확인되었다. 또한, RC 상판의 압축강도가 보강효과에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 압축강도가 시방서의 설계기준강도 이하일 경우에는 보강 후에도 내피로성은 평가되지 않았다. 따라서, 탄소섬유재료를 이용한 접착보강을 실시할 경우에는 RC 상판의 콘크리트 압축강도 및 사전조사를 실시할 필요가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

현재 국내터널에 주로 사용되는 공법은 NATM(New Austrian Tunneling Method)으로 원지반의 강도를 유지하고 보강하는 수단으로 록볼트, 숏크리트, 지보재를 이용하여 암반굴착 직후 원지반의 지지능력을 최대로 활용하여 지반을 안정화시킴으로 터널의 안전성을 유지시키는 공법이다. 과거에는 철망(wire mesh)보강 숏크리트가 주로 사용되었으나 시공기술의 발전을 통한 공기향상을 목적으로 현재는 강섬유보강 숏크리트(steel fiber reinfored shotcrete)가 국내 대다수 터널현장에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 터널 현장의 강섬유보강 숏크리트가 시공된 벽면의 강섬유 혼입량을 조사한 결과, 대부분 예상보다 부족한 것으로 측정되어 이에 대한 시방기준의 수립과 강섬유 부족구간의 보강대책의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강섬유 혼입량 부족 대한 터널의 안정성 확보 및 문제점을 보완하기 위해 새로운 형태에 강섬유보강재를 개발하려고 한다.

Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. This threat is especially valid for existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack adequate flange/web slenderness ratios. As the use of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) have increased in strengthening and repair of steel members in recent years, using FRPs in stabilizing local instabilities have also attracted attention. Previous computational studies have shown that longitudinally oriented glass FRP (GFRP) strips may serve to moderately brace beam flanges against the occurrence of local buckling during plastic hinging. An experimental study was conducted at Izmir Institute of Technology investigating the effects of GFRP reinforcement on local buckling behavior of existing steel I-beams with flange slenderness ratios (FSR) exceeding the slenderness limits set forth in current seismic design specifications and modified by a bottom flange triangular welded haunch. Four European HE400AA steel beams with a depth/width ratio of 1.26 and FSR of 11.4 were cyclically loaded up to 4% rotation in a cantilever beam test set-up. Both bare beams and beams with GFRP sheets were tested in order to investigate the contribution of GFRP sheets in mitigating local flange buckling. Different configurations of GFRP sheets were considered. The tests have shown that GFRP reinforcement can moderately mitigate inelastic flange local buckling.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have been recently investigated as an alternative material for Geosynthetics to improve soil properties. One of the factors influencing the fiber orientation and mechanical properties of CFRP is the effect of soil overburden pressure. This study investigates the tensile behavior of cast-in-place CFRP. During the curing time of specimens, a wide range of normal stress is applied on specimens sandwiched between the soils. Two different soil types are used to determine the effect of soil grain size on the mechanical properties of CFRP. Specimens are also prepared with different specifications such as curing time and mixing soil in to the epoxy. In this study, tensile tests are conducted to investigate the effect of such parameters on tensile behavior of CFRP. The experimental results indicate that by increasing the normal stress and soil grain size, the ultimate tensile strength and the corresponding strain of CFRP decrease; however, reduction in elastic modulus is not noticeable. It should be noted that, increasing the curing period of epoxy resin and mixing soil in to the epoxy have no significant effect on the tensile properties of CFRP.
