The numerical procedure for calculating non-uniform residual stress fields by using relieved strain data from incremental hole drilling method is presented. Finite element calculations are described to evaluate the relieved coefficients required for the determination of residual stresses. From the results of simulations it is found that this numerical method is well adopted to measuring non-uniform residual stress in the hole depth range of 0.8 times of the hole diameter from the surface. In order to examine the practicability of this method, the hole drilling procedure for the four point bending test is performed. This method is applied to the measurement of residual stresses in the cold-rolled steel pipe. It is shown that the magnitude of residual stress in the pipe is not negligible when compared with yield stress and the residual stress should be duly considered in designing structures with this pipes.

This paper describes the design processes and evaluation results of a small-sized six-axis force/torque sensor. The new six-axis force/torque sensor including S-type structure has been developed using a parallel plate structure as a basic sensing element. In order tominimize coupling errors, the location of strain gages has been determined based on the finite element analysis and the connections of strain gages have been made such that the bridge circuit with 4 strain gages becomes balanced. Several design modifications result in a similar strain sensitivity for six-axis forces and moments, and the reduced coupling errors of 2.6% FS between each forces and moments. Calibration test results show that the six-axis load cell developed which has light weight of 135g and the maximum capacities of 196 N in forces and 19.6 N.m in moments is estimated to be within 7.1% FS in coupling error.

The focus of this paper is to observe the aerodynamic and vibration characteristics of the NACA0012 blade(AR=16.6) fixed on the lower surface of the wind tunnel, by changing air speed and the blade's angle of attack. After fixing a slit-typed vortex generator on the front of the blade, it could be observed that the vibrational characteristics caused by interactions between vortex and blade through the 5-hole pilot tubes. And, also, two different blades in stiffness had been prepared for observing those characteristics above in this experiment. The results were compared with the given stiffness of blade, as well. According to the results, it is clear to recognize that the vibration spectrum increases while air speed and angle of attack increase, and, also, less stiffness means bigger vibration spectrum.

Currently, potentiometric method has been employed to measure fuel amount for automobile. However, potentiometer could be malfunctioned or damaged due to the additives or dirt in fuel because a variable electric resistor is immersed in fuel. Therefore, a device employing strain sensor is designed and tested to verify the possibility as an alternative of the conventional fuel sender. Existing fuel tank has irregular cross section. Therefore, buoyancy is not increased linearly as fuel amount is increased. We design a floater that can compensate the irregular cross section of fuel tank and make buoyancy to increase linearly with increasing fuel amount. New fuel sender, comprising of strain gages on circular membrane, the above commented floater and the cover to prevent the disturbance due to sudden acceleration and deceleration, is designed and tested to replace current fuel sender. On the other hand, we are developing strain sensor that has strain gage deposited directly on the circular membrane with cantilever beam.

The purpose of this study was to develop the uniaxial force plate system which is measured by the vertical force. The VGRF(vertical ground reaction force) 1.0 was composed of 2 bath digital scales, 2 indicaters, and analyzing software. This system was newly renovated to VGRF 2,0 which are 2 industrial digital scales, 2 adjustable indicators, and enforced analyzing software. Changes of the new system were as follows. First, the height of the plate was 75% lower than before. Second, sensing ability of the load cell was changed from 90 - 0.05kg to 300 - 0.1kg. Third, the speed of data processing was changed from 17 per second to 60 per second. Fourth, analyzing software was enforced to develop and calculate the data. For the test of the system, two different types(bare foot, high-heeled shoes) gait was adopted. highly skilled female walker(23yrs, height 165cm, body mass 46.8kg) participated for the experimental study. During the dynamic performance(gait analysis), the data of each load cell were very similar to the previous studies. Specifically, bare foot walking had less vertical force than high-heeled shoes. Consequently, VGRF 2.0 can sense the general dynamic movements as well as static load conditions.

This study aimed at providing an experimental database for the mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet such as stress-strain curve, yield stress, R-value and forming limit diagram(FLD) at various strain-rates and temperatures. Tensile tests were carried out on specimens having the orientations of $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ to the rolling direction with different crosshead speeds in the range between 0.008 and 8 mm/s at temperature from 25(room temperature) to $300^{\circ}C$. The influence of the specimen gage length on the tensile properties was investigated. FLD tests were performed at punch speed of 0.1 and 1.0 mm/s in the same temperature range as that of the tensile tests. Swift cup tests were conducted to verify the usefulness of the material database and the reliability of the finite element analysis(FEA). The effects of strain-rate as well as temperature were taken into account in these simulations. It was shown that the FLD-based failure was reasonably well predicted by the thermal-deformation coupled analysis for this rate-sensitive material.

우리나라 수위관측소에 설치되어 있는 수위표는 야간 시인성 부족으로 야간이나 우천시 수위관측을 수행하는데 있어 많은 어려움이 있다. 특히 유량측정 전후 수위관측이 반드시 필요하지만 야간일 경우 눈으로 확인하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 야간 수위관측시 시인성을 높이기 위해 일부 관측소에서 야광도료를 이용하거나 빛의 반사효과를 높인 수위표를 설치하는 등의 노력을 하고 있으나 그 효과는 크지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 야간 수위관측시 수위 식별이 어려운 문제를 해결하기 위해 첨단 소자인 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 이용한 수위표를 개발하고 동시에 전류식 수위센서를 이용하여 자동 수위측정이 가능한 수위표를 개발하였다. 이는 기존의 눈으로 확인하는 수위표와 로거에 저장되는 수위측정장치를 하나로 통합한 것이며 주야간을 가리지 않는 탁월한 시인성과 정확한 수위측정 및 수위자료의 저장이 특징이다. LED는 최근 각광받고 있는 첨단 소자로서 각종 전광판 등에 다양하게 활용되고 있으며 전력을 크게 소비하지 않는 것이 특징이다. 또한 전기장치를 수중에 설치하는 것이므로 방수를 위해 실리콘을 이용하여 완벽 방수구조를 갖추었으며 홍수시 하천 유하물에 의한 파손을 방지하기 위해 내구성을 갖춘 구조로 설계 제작하였다. LED를 이용한 수위표는 야간이나 홍수시 수위관측을 수행할 때 많은 장점이 있을 것으로 판단되며 저전력 구조로 상용전원을 이용할 수 없는 위치에서 태양열 전지판을 이용한 배터리 기반 시스템으로 구성할 수 있으므로 측정의 정확도, 활용도 측면뿐만 아니라 설치의 편리성 문제도 큰 장점을 가질 것으로 판단된다.

현재 국토해양부 4대강 홍수통제소에서는 369개의(2007년 한국수문조사연보 기준) 수위관측소를 설치 운영하고 있으며 현장에서 수집되는 수위자료의 측정방법은 부자식, 레이더식, 초음파식, 영상수위계 등 다양하다. 한강홍수통제소에서 자체 시험연구과제로 수행한 "TM 및 일반수위관측자료 비교분석연구" (국토 해양부, 2007)에 의하면 홍수예보를 위한 주요지점을 위주로 부자식과 레이더식, 부자식과 초음파식 등으로 수위계가 이중화 설치된 것으로 조사된 바 있다. 최근 홍수예보시 수위계 장비 자체의 결함이나 통신이상 등으로 발생되는 결측치나 이상치 자료를 최소화하기 위하여 주 관측방식이 부자식인 수위관측소에서 부자식 수위계의 기기 고장이나 부자 걸림 등이 발생되어 정상적인 자료 취득이 어려운 경우, 보조로 설치된 레이더식 또는 초음파식 수위계의 자료를 수신 받아 자료 손실을 최소화하고 주요지점의 자료 생산 제공 활용의 안정화를 도모하기 위함이다. 따라서 이러한 활용성을 극대화하기 위해 평상시 주 수위계와 보조 수위계에서 생산되는 자료를 동시에 저장하여 두 자료를 비교 분석하여 향후 홍수통제소에서 적용 가능한 자료관리 및 운영에 대한 개선방안을 제안하고자 한다.

The membrane to be applied inside of the LNG storage tank is provided with corrugations to absorb thermal contraction and expansion caused by LNG temperature and pressure changes. It is very important to measure their thermal strains under LNG temperature by analytical and experimental stress analysis of the membrane. We have developed a stress measurement system using strain gages and measured the strain during cooldown and storing the LNG. We also analyzed the measured data by comparison with the FEM data.

Currently knowledge of strain in welds has mainly been obtained from strain gaging method: that is directly attaching most of the material to the gage. The very few non-contact methods are still in the early stage. One of the non-contact methods is by the use of the laser that has high-level of the accuracy for the measurement, and this laser also has excellent characteristics on which many studies for its applications are focused throughout the many fields. A method of study is on the measurement of the strain caused by the characteristics of the spot welded zone which is used with 3-D ESPI system that is functionally modified through the laser ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) system. This system employed the SGCC 1.2t which are mainly used for the steel plate such as automobile, structure, building material and electronic appliances.
