For maintaining railroad, accumulated passing tonnage is a determinant factor of appropriate rail replacement time. Recently, Seoul Metro's rail maintaining system and technology is being improved from previous years, which increasing a standard of rail replacement. Thus, this brings importance of estimating and managing for accumulated passing tonnage. In case of light weighted train such as subway, current method of calculating accumulated passing tonnage has defaults of misrepresenting accumulated passing tonnage data. Because current method is based on the weight of passengers and train., and operation data. In addition, currently there is no mechanical and electronic system that could represent and support the accurate data between heavy and non-heavy traffic area, and accumulated passing tonnage is calculated inaccurately by estimating average value each line. The current method of calculating accumulated passing tonnage misleads to unpredictable data that represent inappropriate rail replacement period, which leads to under or over analyzed replacement period. If accumulated passing tonnage is over estimated, rail replacement leads to waste of budget. Hence, it is necessary to construct reliable actual measurement system to manage rail's life safely and efficiently, and in this study the accumulated passing tonnage measurement device is installed with using rail pad of optical fiber sensors and its effect is analyzed.

광섬유 브래그 격자(fiber Bragg grating: FBG)를 이용한 스트레인 센서는 출력 값으로 브래그 반사 파장의 변화를 제공하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 브래그 격자 스트레인 센서에서 출력되는 빛을 도파로 어레이 격자(arrayed waveguide grating: AWG)에 입력시켜서 파장의 변화를 측정하는 방법을 제안한다. FBG에 스트레인이 가해지게 되면 브래그 반사 파장이 이동하게 되어 AWG를 지나서 출력되는 채널별 광 파워가 변하게 되며, 이 값들의 조합으로 구해지는 centroid 값을 계산하면 브래그 반사 파장과 인가된 스트레인 값을 얻을 수 있다. 브래그 격자의 반사 스펙트럼의 대역폭이 centroid 값에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 3-dB 대역폭이 5.4 nm인 chirped FBG를 사용하였으며, 저항 측정방식의 기존 스트레인 센서와 비교하여 오차범위가 2% 이내인 결과를 확인 하였다. FBG 센서를 외팔보에 부착하여 진동에 따른 스트레인 값을 실시간으로 측정한 결과 진동 주파수 17.8 Hz, damping 시상수 0.96 초를 얻을 수 있었다.

The general method to find a H. pylori in the stomach is the rapid urease test but it is only used to decide the infection with H. pylori. In this study, it is tried to develope fiber-optic pH sensor which can be used with gastroscop to quantify H. pylori. To measure the degree of infection with H. pylori, the color change of phenol red according to the degree of pH is measured by optical fibers with different light sources and the optimum distance from a sample to the end of sensor tip is decided by measuring the maximum reflectivity from a sample. Also the sensitivity study is carried out to decide the optimum light source which has sensitive change of reflectivity to the change of pH. It is expected that the fiber-optic pH sensor which measures the degree of infection with H. pylori exactly can be developed.

The fiber Fabry-Perot interferometric(FFPI) sensor is well known in the field of industrial diagnosis due to its outstanding properties such as tiny size, simple and rugged structure, and easy interrogation. As other fiber interferometric sensors, it also suffers from ambiguous output caused by highly periodic feature in its optical transfer function. In most cases, the ambiguity leads to relatively short dynamic operating range and long processing time during power-on reset, which limits its application to some specific fields requiring very high resolution. In this paper a method based on double sensing scheme was proposed to overcome the above difficulty. By employing a fringe selection auxiliary FFPI sensor the original FFPI sensor can identify its true position on the phase domain. The performance test with 10mm FFPI sensor and a thermocouple temperature sensor for reference shows wide dynamic range 0-900$\ell$ keeping a reasonable resolution of 0.1$\ell$ over the entire range.

In this study, we fabricated a fiber-optic phantom dosimeter by arraying square type of plastic optical fibers in a PMMA phantom for measuring relative depth doses of therapeutic photon beams. To minimize the cross-talk between fiber-optic dosimeters, we selected appropriate septum by measuring leaked scintillating lights according to the various kinds of septa. In addition, we measured percentage depth doses of 6, 15 MV photon beams using a fiber-optic phantom dosimeter.

Conducting polymers are finding increasing number of applications in various electronic devices such as chemical sensors, electrochromic display, light emitting diodes, etc. Polyaniline(PANI) ranks among highly prospective conduction polymers. PANI was first synthesis in 1862[1] and has been extensively studied as a conducting polymer since the 1980s[2]. The side range of electrical, electrochemical and optical properties coupled with good environmental stability makes PANI potentially attractive for application as an electronic material. (omitted)

본 연구는 광섬유 브래그 격자(fiber Bragg grating, FBG)센서를 이용하여 캔틸레버의 수직 처짐을 산정하고 이를 통하여 횡방향 하중을 받는 말뚝기초 거동 분석을 위한 사전연구를 수행하는데 목적이 있다. 말뚝기초를 모형화한 길이 1.7 m의 정방 중공 형강 내민보를 실험실에 설치하고 실험체 측면의 상하부 표면에 4개의 센서로 다중화 된 2쌍의 FBG 센서를 설치하였다. 결과 비교를 위해 FBG 센서가 설치된 동일 위치에 전기식 게이지를 설치하였다. 하중은 고정 단에서 1.47m 지점에 엑츄에이터를 통한 변위 제어 방법으로 재하 하였다. 실험을 통해 측정된 FBG 센서의 파장변화로부터 변형률과 곡률을 산정하였고 기하학적 처짐-곡률관계와 회귀분석을 통하여 처짐을 유추하였다. FBG 센서를 통해 산정된 변형률과 처짐을 각각 전기식 게이지의 변형률 측정값, 이론 처짐값과 비교분석 하였다. 측정된 FBG 센서와 전기식 게이지의 변형률은 근사한 결과를 나타내었으며, 이론적으로 산출한 처짐과 FBG 센서로부터 도출한 처짐도 우수한 상관관계를 보였다. 실험결과를 통하여 FBG 센서를 도입한 말뚝 기초 거동분석을 성공적으로 이루어내기 위해서는 FBG 센서로 측정 가능한 한계 변위의 산정 및 증대 방안이 필요하며, 센서 오작동시 대처 방법에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

In this study, we describe the feasibility of developing a fiber-optic temperature sensor using a thermochromic material such as 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole or also called Lophine. A sensor-tip is fabricated by mixing of a Lophine powder, which has a non-toxic and hydrophobic characteristics, and an epoxy resin. The temperature change in the sensor-tip gives rise to a change in the optical absorbance of the Lophine, and the transmittance of a light through the Lophine is also changed. We have measured the intensities of modulated lights due to the change of optical absorbance of the Lophine by using of a photo-multiplier tube(PMT). The relationships between the temperatures and the output voltages of PMT are determined to measure the temperature of water. The measurable temperature range of the fiber-optic sensor is from 5 to $30^{\circ}C$.
