The object of this paper is to verify possible to monitor the deformation of cable in the tensegrity structure. Also, always monitoring system of tensegrity structure using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor is described. We carry out experiments with measuring deformation of cable in the tensegrity structure based on loading conditions. In the result of experiment, the Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors shows accurate response to the loading conditions. Therefore, we can make sure the possibility of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor in health monitoring of the cable structure like tensegrity structure.

In this paper, recent research trends and activities on structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructure in Korea are reviewed. Recently, there has been increasing need for adopting smart sensing technologies to SHM, so this review focuses on smart sensing, monitoring, and assessment for civil infrastructure. Firstly, the research activities on smart sensor technology is reviewed including optical fiber sensors, piezoelectric sensors, wireless smart sensors, and vision-based sensing system. Then, a brief overview is given to the recent advances in smart monitoring and assessment techniques such as vibration-based global monitoring techniques, local monitoring with piezoelectric materials, decentralized monitoring techniques for wireless sensors, wireless power supply and energy harvest. Finally, recent joint SHM activities on several test beds in Korea are discussed to share the up-to-date information and to promote the smart sensors and monitoring technologies for applications to civil infrastructure. It includes a Korea-US joint research on test bridges of the Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC), a Korea-US-Japan joint research on Jindo cable-stayed bridge, and a comparative study for cable tension measurement techniques on Hwamyung cable-stayed bridge, and a campaign test for displacement measurement techniques on Sorok suspension bridge.

The reference model for UNI (User Network Interface) of B-ISDN is consisted of three function groups (B-NTI, B-NT2 and B-TE). In this study, we constructed passive B-NT1 module which can be utilized for optical link management and repair, one of main functions of B-NT1. For the convenience of installation and management, this module is only consisted of passive optical devices. And at a local exchange center linked with the module, the broken zone of optic link is able to be monitored without interrupting services. In addition, we performed the power burget analysis for the design of efficient optic link including this module.

Crack detection technique for concrete structures has been developed in this study. Experimental tests were carried out to detect a surface and internal crack, employing common fiber optic cables and OTDR(optical time domain reflectometry), an optical signal analyzer which is widely used to detect damages at fiber optic cables in the field of optical engineering. While initial concrete crack is ready to occur under cracking force, the occurrence and location of the crack are simultaneously detected to give the same damage to fiber optic cables which have been attached to and/or embedded into concrete in advance. It is obtained through successive tests that the principal factors for crack detection is the covering state of fiber optic cable, and total 4 tests including a preliminary test were conducted and the crack detection technique was verified. The practical usefulness would be expected at crack management and maintenance of concrete structures.

Compared with other transport means, safety and timeliness are the merits of railways. Unexpectedly when accident happens, much time and human strength are required to cope with the accident. And for swift recovery, systematic rehabilitation is needed. Recently using MTS(Moving picture Transmission System), we can perform accident rehabilitation and recording work efficiently. MTS is the device that transmits continuous picture information from accident field to control center. e are developing the appropriate system to railway situation to make use of the existing information communication technology, processing technology of video-tex, super high speed transmission technology through fiber-optic, copper cable and network description of information Technology, etc. If these communication-based can technologies are applied to railway system, railway managers can control the accident by inspecting the picture of accident field and can contribute to the safe train operation and the improvement of railway management. In this paper, we investigate the connecting methods when optical fiber is used for moving picture data transmission of train accidents, and its problems. And, we validate MTS's performance through about 28km section of field test.

Analog systems could not fully deal with instrumentation and control facilities in power plants since these facilities have become more and more complex on account of various needs for large power generation capacity highly cost effective operation to conserve energy and operation management to prevent pollution. Digitalizations of control device and augmentations of control informations increased the necessity of fiber optic data networks which have excellent noise immunity and high quality wide-band with information transfer capability. The goal of this study is to offer a fiber optic data-way system which has high reliabilities, high data transmission rates and small cable ducts with large transmission capacities for the instrumentation and control of power plants.

We must consider resistance capacitance and their circuit connection condition for cable charging current test by IEC60265-1. According to their values and circuits, the ratio of applied voltage and transient recovery voltage are much different. This paper is convinced of TRV waves and proposes the optical circuit required at the standard via the simulation of all circuit conditions.

This paper studies the behaviour of a homogeneous cable in a horizontal rigid duct and loaded by an axial compressive force. This behaviour is characterized by spatial buckling modes, named sinusoidal and helical, due to friction and total or partial cable locking. The evaluation of critical buckling loads involved by drilling technology has been studied by many authors. This work presents a new formulation, taking the friction effects into account, for the transmission of the axial load during the postbuckling process. New analytical expressions of pitches in both buckling cases are also given. A life-sized bench is presented, which permits to study the laying of optical fiber cables by squeezing them into an underground duct. Finally, analytical solutions are compared with experimental tests and finite element simulations.

Because the installation of the optical cables in rooms is difficult, we can terminate the optical cable at the main enterence and use infrared wireless communications in the room. In this paper, we calculate the impulse response of the infrared wireless communication link and the optical power penalty due to multipath effect up to the third reflections with the source on the sidewall. We can locate the optical sources on the sidewall without problem because of relative large power reflected from the ceiling and sidewalls once. And the optical power penalty due to multipath effect can be neglected at the speed of 2 Mb/s.
