본 연구에서는 스트레인게이지 회로를 이용하여 GRP 복합관의 열팽창계수를 측정하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 다양한 스트레인게이지 회로를 적용하여 알루미늄 보의 열팽창계수를 측정함으로써 측정방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 스트레인게이지의 부착위치와 반복횟수를 달리하며 또한 열팽창계수가 다른 스트레인게이지를 적용한 경우에 대해 GRP 복합관의 길이방향 및 원주방향 열팽창계수를 측정함으로써 열변형률 결과와 측정결과의 재현성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 GRP 복합관의 경우 보강된 유리섬유에 의해 원주방향의 열변형률이 제한되어 원주방향 열팽창계수가 길이방향의 열팽창계수에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 또한 GRP 복합관의 후경화로 인해 측정횟수가 증가할수록 측정된 열팽창계수는 다소 증가하지만 증가폭은 점차 감소하였다. 아울러 열팽창계수가 다른 스트레인게이지를 적용하더라도 기준보상시편을 통해 스트레인게이지의 열변형률을 보상하면 동일한 열팽창계수가 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다.

A C-type LNG mock-up tank was constructed to evaluate the durability of the tank and its structural safety. An experimental strain analysis system equipped with strain gages was designed to investigate the structural behavior of the inner tank at a high hydraulic pressure. In addition, the insulation used in the space between the inner tank and outer tank had a compressive strength and the inner tank thickness of the cylindrical shell and hemisphere was 4.0 mm, which was designed to be thinner than the existing rules. The strains on the inner tank were measured with increasing pressure, and these measurements were compared and analyzed at the strain gage attachment points.

Misaligned shafts of the rotating machinery have caused noise, vibration. bearing failures, and stress concentration of coupling parts which decrease the efficiency and life of shaft systems. Therefore the proper shaft alignment of those system should be monitored continuously in dynamic condition. To solve these problems under dynamic condition a telemetry system is used. In this study, the condition of the least bending moment which is known by analyzing the structure and stress induced by misalignment is found. After the shaft is aligned by dial gage, a telemetry system with strain gages is installed on shaft. The relationship between bearing displacement and moment of coupling part influenced by misalignment is investigated. The moment derived from two shaft strain at the nearby coupling is measured. The bending strain is measured 5 times for average in static state as well as in dynamic state with 100∼700 rpm.

구조재의 잔류응력(residual stress)은 외부에서 하중이 작용하지 않는 상태에서도 구조물 내부에 존재하는 응력으로 건설현장에서 구조물을 설치, 조립하는 경우에 발생하게 되며 특히 용접이나 과부하에 의한 구조물의 설치 후에도 발생할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 600MPa급 mega structure용 강관제작 상의 프레스 및 용접에 의한 잔류응력의 영향을 파악하고자 홀드릴링 변형게이지법(Hole-Drilling Strain Gage Method)을 이용하여 용접선 부근을 중심으로 총 59개소를 측정하여 잔류응력의 분포 및 크기를 평가하였다.

Threshing operation is performed by impact, compression and friction forces inside the thresher. These values should be appropriate to the crop condition to enhance the threshing and separating efficiency and to decrease the grain damage. To analyze the threshing process inside the rasp-bar type thresher, impact, friction and compression forces were measured using transducers with strain gage circuits. To measure the impact forces and friction forces between the rasp-bar and crop, full bridge strain gage circuit was built on the rasp-bar holder. To measure the compression forces and circumferential friction forces between the concave and crop, two sets of full bridge strain gage circuits were built on the T-type concave transducer. Threshing work of wheat crop with 12% of moisture content was performed at 3 levels of compression ratio and with 3 replications. Each transducer could not measure the exact forces continuously because the transducer oscillates with the forces. However they could measure maximum forces and force distribution according to the time. Average friction coefficients between crop and concave was 0.61 not showing any significant difference according to the compression ratio. Average acceleration of the crop in the cylinder appeared from $70.6m/s^2$ to $140.8m/s^2$ according to the compression ratio. The velocity of the crop at the exit of the cylinder appeared from 10.7m/s to 15.0m/s according to the compression ratio.

There are constraints on truck weight, axle configurations and size imposed by departments of transportation around the globe due to structural capacity limitations of highway pavements and bridges. In spite of that, freight movers demand some vehicles that surpass the maximum size and legal weight limits to use the transportation network. Oversized trucks serve the purpose of spreading the load on the bridge; thus, reducing the load effect on the superstructure. For such vehicles, often a quick structural analysis of the existing bridges along the traveled route is needed to ensure that the structural capacity is not exceeded. For a wide vehicle having wheel gage larger than the standard 1830 mm, the girder distribution factors in the design specifications cannot be directly used to estimate the live load in the supporting girders. In this study, a simple approach that is based on finite element analysis is developed by modifying the AASHTO LRFD's girder distribution factors for slab-on-steel-girder bridges to overcome this problem. The proposed factors allow for determining the oversized vehicle bending moment and shear force effect in the individual girders as a function of the gage width characteristics. Findings of the study showed that the relationship between the girder distribution factor and gage width is more nonlinear in shear than in flexure. The proposed factors yield reasonable results compared with the finite element analysis with adequate level of conservatism.

PVDF film sensor was applied to measure the stress concentration for monitoring the structural integrity. The strain calibration of this film sensor was performed by the bending test of aluminum beam. The PVDF sensor and the electrical strain gage were bonded on the beam. When the beam was loaded, the output of electrical strain gage was compared with the output of the PVDF sensor. The waveform of PVDF sensor output was shown as the same form of the output of electrical strain gage. The gain was determined as 1.7 by comparing these two signals to determine the exact value of the strain. In order to experiment the stress concentration, the stress field was analyzed by finite element analysis. The tensile test of notched steel specimens was conducted to develop the measurement technique of stress concentration. The output voltage ratio between the PVDF sensor near the notch and the PVDF sensor far from the notch could give the information about the load bearing capacity of steel specimen.
