무선센서네트워크에서 살포한 센서 중 일부의 결함이 발생하거나 에너지가 고갈될 시, 이동 센서(Mobile Sensor)들의 재배치로 결함이 발생한 지역(즉, 센싱 홀: Sensing Hole)을 복구할 수 있다. 수많은 바위 등이 즐비한 거친 지역에서는 바퀴 기반의 이동센서는 적당하지 않으므로 점프를 통해 이동이 가능한 홉핑 센서가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 발생한 센싱 홀의 복구를 위한 재배치 문제 및 그에 따른 다양한 문제들을 살펴본다. 과거 홉핑 센서들을 이동시키기 위하여 단지 최단경로만을 고려하였으나, 본 논문에서는 최대 엇갈림 없는 경로 및 다중경로를 활용하여 또다른 센싱홀의 발생을 막을 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안하는 기법들이 최단경로를 기반으로 한 기법에 비해 홉핑 센서의 균형적인 분배와 이동성공률에서 우수함을 보인다.

비선형광학 단결정 KTP에 대해 고온 분말 X-선 회절실험과 복소 유전상수 측정실험 등을 수행하였다. 고온분말 X-선 회절 실험 결과를 Lipson과 Cohen의 해석적 방법을 사용하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과 $900^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서는 어떠한 구조상전이도 없음을 확인하였다. 그리고 KTP는 $900^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 구조상전이가 있으며, 상전이 온도 이상의 온도영역에서도 직방정계(orthorhombic)에 속함을 확인하였다. 한편, 복소 유전상수 측정결과를 현상론적인 유전완화식에 적용하였으며, 이로부터 $K^+$ 이온의 hopping에 의한 KTP의 유전완화 mechanism은 $-78^{\circ}C$부터 $200^{\circ}C$까지 단일모드로 Cole-Cole relation을 만족함을 알았다. 이때 완화시간은 Vogel-Fulcher relation을 따르고 있으며, $200^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도영역에서는 hopping mechanism과 더불어 열적으로 활성화된 확산 mechanism이 KTP의 전도특성을 지배하는 것으로 보인다.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) gradually becomes a technique for ensuring the health and safety of civil infrastructures and is also an important approach for the research of the damage accumulation and disaster evolving characteristics of civil infrastructures. It is attracting prodigious research interests and the active development interests of scientists and engineers because a great number of civil infrastructures are planned and built every year in mainland China. In a SHM system the sheer number of accompanying wires, fiber optic cables, and other physical transmission medium is usually prohibitive, particularly for such structures as offshore platforms and long-span structures. Fortunately, with recent advances in technologies in sensing, wireless communication, and micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS), wireless sensor technique has been developing rapidly and is being used gradually in the SHM of civil engineering structures. In this paper, some recent advances in the research, development, and implementation of wireless sensors for the SHM of civil infrastructures in mainland China, especially in Dalian University of Technology (DUT) and Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), are introduced. Firstly, a kind of wireless digital acceleration sensors for structural global monitoring is designed and validated in an offshore structure model. Secondly, wireless inclination sensor systems based on Frequency-hopping techniques are developed and applied successfully to swing monitoring of large-scale hook structures. Thirdly, wireless acquisition systems integrating with different sensing materials, such as Polyvinylidene Fluoride(PVDF), strain gauge, piezoresistive stress/strain sensors fabricated by using the nickel powder-filled cement-based composite, are proposed for structural local monitoring, and validating the characteristics of the above materials. Finally, solutions to the key problem of finite energy for wireless sensors networks are discussed, with future works also being introduced, for example, the wireless sensor networks powered by corrosion signal for corrosion monitoring and rapid diagnosis for large structures.

When IoT sensor nodes are deployed in areas where data collection is challenging, sensors must be relocated if sensing holes occur due to improper placement of sensors or energy depletion, and data collection is impossible. The sensing hole's cluster header transmits a request message for sensor relocation to an adjacent cluster header through a specific relay node. However, since a specific relay node is frequently used, a member sensor located in a specific cluster area adjacent to the sensing hole can continuously receive the movement message. In this paper, we propose a method that avoids the situation in which the sensing hole cluster header monopolizes a specific relay node and allows the cluster header to use multiple relay nodes fairly. Unlike the existing method in which the relay node immediately responds to the request of the header, the method proposed in this paper solves a ping-pong problem and a problem that the request message is concentrated on a specific relay node by applying a method of responding to the request of the header using a timer. OMNeT++ simulator was used to analyze the performance of the proposed method.

Bridges are critical to the civil engineering infrastructure network as they facilitate movement of people, the transportation of goods and services. Given the aging of bridge infrastructure, federal officials mandate visual inspections biennially to identify necessary repair actions which are time, cost, and labor-intensive. Additionally, the expansion joints of bridges are rarely monitored due to cost. However, expansion joints are critical as they absorb movement from thermal effects, loadings strains, impact, abutment settlement, and vehicle motion movement. Thus, the need to monitor bridge expansion joints efficiently, at a low cost, and wirelessly is desired. This paper addresses bridge joint monitoring needs to develop a cost-effective, real-time wireless system that can be validated in a full-scale bridge structure. To this end, a wireless expansion joint monitoring was developed using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) sensors. An in-service bridge was selected as a testbed to validate the performance of the developed system compared with traditional displacement sensor, LVDT, temperature and humidity sensors. The short-term monitoring campaign with the wireless sensor system with the internet protocol version 6 over the time slotted channel hopping mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH) network showed reliable results, providing high potential of the developed system for effective joint monitoring at a low cost.

피치계 활성탄소섬유의 유해가스 감응특성을 알아보고자 피치계 활성탄소섬유와 폴리비닐알코올(PVA)을 이용하여 가스센서용 전극을 제조하였다. 제조된 가스센서용 활성탄소섬유 전극의 물리화학적 특성은 주사전자현미경(SEM) 및 비표면적 측정기(BET)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한, 전극의 유해가스 감응특성은 $NH_3$, NO 및 $CO_2$와 같은 여러 유독가스를 이용하여 확인하였다. 가스센서용 활성탄소섬유 전극의 비표면적은 바인더인 PVA에 의하여 활성탄소섬유보다 33% 감소하였지만, 전극의 기공크기분포는 PVA에 의하여 크게 영향을 받지 않았다. 가스센서용 활성탄소섬유 전극은 반도체 기반 가스센서와는 다르게 전자도약에 의해서 유해가스를 감응하였다. 본 연구에서, 활성탄소섬유 전극의 저항은 100 ppm의 $NH_3$ 유해가스에 대하여 7.5% 감소하였으며, 그 $NH_3$ 가스 감응특성이 다른 유해가스보다 뛰어남을 확인하였다.

In order to develop novel thermal imaging materials for microbolometer applications, $[(Ni_{0.3}Mn_{0.7})_{1-x}Cu_x]_3O_4$ ($0.18{\leq}x{\leq}0.26$) thin films were fabricated using metal-organic decomposition. Effects of Cu content on the electrical properties of the annealed films were investigated. Spinel thin films with a thickness of approximately 100 nm were obtained from the $[(Ni_{0.3}Mn_{0.7})_{1-x}Cu_x]_3O_4$ films annealed at $380^{\circ}C$ for five hours. The resistivity (${\rho}$) of the annealed films was analyzed with respect to the small polaron hopping model. Based on the $Mn^{3+}/Mn^{4+}$ ratio values obtained through x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, the hopping mechanism between $Mn^{3+}$ and $Mn^{4+}$ cations discussed in the proposed study. The effects of $Cu^+$ and $Cu^{2+}$ cations on the hopping mechanism is also discussed. Obtained results indicate that $[(Ni_{0.3}Mn_{0.7})_{1-x}Cu_x]_3O_4$ thin films with low temperature annealing and superior electrical properties (${\rho}{\leq}54.83{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, temperature coefficient of resistance > -2.62%/K) can be effectively employed in applications involving complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated microbolometer devices.

An integrated system composed of guidance, navigation and control (GNC) system for autonomous proximity operations and the docking of two spacecraft was developed. The position maneuvers were determined through the integration of the state-dependent Riccati equation formulated from nonlinear relative motion dynamics and relative navigation using rendezvous laser vision (Lidar) and a vision sensor system. In the vision sensor system, a switch between sensors was made along the approach phase in order to provide continuously effective navigation. As an extension of the rendezvous laser vision system, an automated terminal guidance scheme based on the Clohessy-Wiltshire state transition matrix was used to formulate a "V-bar hopping approach" reference trajectory. A proximity operations strategy was then adapted from the approach strategy used with the automated transfer vehicle. The attitude maneuvers, determined from a linear quadratic Gaussian-type control including quaternion based attitude estimation using star trackers or a vision sensor system, provided precise attitude control and robustness under uncertainties in the moments of inertia and external disturbances. These functions were then integrated into an autonomous GNC system that can perform proximity operations and meet all conditions for successful docking. A six-degree of freedom simulation was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the integrated system.
