Ensuring the designed prestress force is very important for the safety of prestressed concrete bridge. The loss of prestress force in tendon could significantly reduce load carrying capacity of the structure. In this study, an automated prestress-loss monitoring system for prestressed concrete girder using PZT-interface and wireless impedance sensor node is presented. The following approaches are carried out to achieve the objective. Firstly, wireless impedance sensor nodes are designed for automated impedance-based monitoring technique. The sensor node is mounted on the high-performance Imote2 sensor platform to fulfill high operating speed, low power requirement and large storage memory. Secondly, a smart PZT-interface designed for monitoring prestress force is described. A linear regression model is established to predict prestress-loss. Finally, a system of the PZT-interface interacted with the wireless sensor node is evaluated from a lab-scale tendon-anchorage connection of a prestressed concrete girder.

This paper deals with the transient ground impedance of small-sized needle-rod installed in a test field, Impulse voltage generator was used to inject lightning impulse on a ground electrode and modified fall-of potential method was proposed to measure the high ground potential rise. Transient ground impedance was analysed with impedance curve and I-V curve as respects the resistivity of soil. Soil ionization near the ground electrode is activated in high resistivity soil and have an effect on the reduction of transient ground impedance significantly.

Impedance-based damage detection method has been known as an innovative tool with various successful implementations for structural health monitoring of civil structures. To monitor the local critical area of a structure, the impedance-based method utilizes the high-frequency impedance responses sensed by piezoelectric sensors as the local dynamic features. In this paper, current advances and future challenges of the impedance-based structural health monitoring are presented. Firstly, theoretical background of the impedance-based method is outlined. Next, an overview is given to recent advances in the wireless impedance sensor nodes, the interfacial impedance sensing devices, and the temperature-effect compensation algorithms. Various research works on these topics are reviewed to share up-to-date information on research activities and implementations of the impedance-based technique. Finally, future research challenges of the technique are discussed including the applicability of wireless sensing technology, the predetermination of effective frequency bands, the sensing region of impedance responses, the robust compensation of noise and temperature effects, the quantification of damage severity, and long-term durability of sensors.

A ground resistance is a good index of performance in a grounding system, but it does not reflect the performance in transient states. Recently long vertical ground rods in urban areas are often installed. But because of the inductance of long ground rods the ground impedance at high frequency might be greater than its resistance at low frequency. In this paper, a ground impedance of deeply driven ground rod has been measured in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 50 MHz. As a result, the ground impedances of a deeply driven ground rods are almost constant at the frequency range less than 100 kHz. However at high frequency the ground impedance showed the strong frequency dependance.

This paper presents the transient impedance when high current impulse up to 5 kA is applied to a scaled grounding grid in test field. For a realistic analysis of transient impedance on the high current impulse in the ground systems, grounding electrode installed outdoors and impulse current generator was used. The results were discussed based on its voltage and current trace, impulse impedance and V-I curve.

Helmholtz resonator is widely used acoustic instrument which has high absorption characteristics at its resonance frequency. Particularly it maintains good performance even in the low frequency region that is difficult to control by general porous absorptive materials. However, under severely high sound pressure level, the absorption characteristics are changed by increase of resistance due to nonlinear behavior of neck impedance. Because of this nonlinear behavior, it is difficult to obtain the expected absorption performance under high sound pressure environment. Thus, in order to prevent excessive rise of resistance, the resonator with neck having cross section dimension decrease away from the entry of the resonator cavity could be suggested. This paper introduces the experiment method and results about nonlinear characteristics of Helmholtz resonator with tapered neck and proposes the approximate nonlinear impedance model.

This study designed High impedance filter to reduce RF loss to heater heating wire and increase RF current flowing to heater ground wire. Effects such as D / R improvement and process reproducibility could be seen. In addition, RF parameter distribution optimization was possible by understanding the RF path of PE-CVD equipment using Plasma and designing filter.

본 논문은 고자유도의 로봇에 대한 강인한 임피던스제어를 제안한다. 자유도가 높은 로봇에 대해서 동특성기반으로 제어하기 위해서는 해석적인 로봇의 동특성확보가 거의 불가능하기 때문에 수치해석적인 모델을 사용하게 된다. 이에 근본적으로 모델링오차가 존재하고 작업공간에서 임피던스제어기를 설계하는 경우에 많은 개수의 관절의 움직임의 영향을 받기 때문에 강인제어의 필요성이 더욱 절실하다. 이에 모델링 불확실성과 외란의 존재와 상관없이 원하는 임피던스를 유지하기 위해서는 공칭계통의 동특성에 슬라이딩모드의 강인성을 추가할 수 있는 적분슬라이딩모드제어를 도입하였고 입력외란의 영향을 제거할 수 있는 외란 관측기를 동시에 적용한 강인한 임피던스제어기를 제안하였다. 외란과 모델 불확실성이 존재함에도 불구하고 공칭계통을 기반으로 한 임피던스제어기의 특성을 그대로 유지할 수 있는 제어기가 설계되었다.

The battery's State of Health (SOH) is a critical parameter in the process of battery use, as it represents the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the battery. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a widely used technique in observing the state of the battery. The measured impedance at certain frequencies can be used to evaluate the state of the battery, as it is intimately tied to the underlying chemical reactions. In this work, a low-cost portable EIS instrument is developed on the basis of the ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) for measuring the impedance spectrum of Li-ion battery packs. The MCU uses a built-in DAC module to generate the sinusoidal sweep perturbation signal. Moreover, it performs the dual-channel acquisition of voltage and current signals, calculates impedance using a Digital Lock-in Amplifier (DLA), and transmits the result to a PC. By using LabVIEW, an interface was developed with the real-time display of the EIS information. The developed instrument was suitable for measuring the impedance spectrum of the battery pack up to 1000 V. The measurement frequency range of the instrument was from 1 hz to 1 Khz. Then, to prove the performance of the developed system, the impedance of a Samsung SM3 battery pack and a Bexel pouch module were measured and compared with those obtained by the commercial instrument.

본 논문에서는 높은 입력 임피던스를 가지는 테라헤르츠 Yagi-Uda 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 Yagi-Uda 안테나는 두께가 얇은 기판 위에 설계하여 기판의 비유전율에 의한 안테나의 임피던스 저하를 줄이고 Yagi-Uda 안테나 고유의 복사패턴을 가지도록 하였다. 전 파장 길이를 가지는 U-형태의 다이폴을 driver로 사용하여 공진주파수에서 $4,400{\Omega}$ 정도의 높은 입력저항을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 제안된 Yagi-Uda 안테나는 기존의 테라헤르츠 안테나들에 비하여 증가된 테라헤르츠파 출력을 얻을 수 있다.
