In this study, $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ ceramic thin films were fabricated from an alkoxide-based by Sol-Gel method. $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ stock solution was made and spin-coated on the $Pt/SiO_2/Si$ substrate at 4000[rpm] for 30[sec]. Coated specimens were dried at 400[$^{\circ}C$] for 10 [min]. The coating process was repeated 4 times and then heat-treated at 500$\sim$800[$^{\circ}C$], 1 hour. The final thickness of the thin films were about 3000[A]. The crystallinity and microstructure of the thin films were investigated for varing the sintering condition. The ferroelectric perovskite' phases precipitated under the sintering of 700[$^{\circ}C$] for 1 hours. In the $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ thin films sintered at 700[$^{\circ}C$] for 1 hour, dielectric constant and dielectric loss were 2133, 2.2[%] at room temperature, respectively. $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ thin film capacitors having good dielectric and electrical properties are expected for the application to the dielectric material of DRAM.

In this paper, resonant ultrasound spectroscopy(RUS) was used to determine the natural frequency of a ceramic ferrule and a ball lens. The ceramic ferrules are cylinderical shape with $\phi$ 2.56mm diameter and l0mm in length. Crack lengths of these ferrules are 10.40$\mu$m, 21.18$\mu$m and 32.35$\mu$m. The spherical ball lens was made of BK-7 glass, one's diameter in 2mm and 5mm. RUS system is consisted of spectrum analyzer, power amplifier, PZT sensor and support frame. The principle of RUS is that the mechanical resonant frequency of the materials depends on density and the coefficient of elasticity. Rus system is based on that given resonant frequency of the materials can be represented by the function of density and the coefficient of elasticity, and it is applied to excite specimen and to inspect the difference of natural frequency pattern between acceptable specimen and defective ones. Defect evaluation by RUS are performed to investigate the natural frequency measure of ferrule and ball lens.

본 연구에서는 강유전체의 이력 특성을 정밀하게 계산하기 위한 모델을 제공하였다. 본 모델은 2중 전위우물에 근거한 반경험적 분극 천이 모델에 기초하고 있으며 프라이사흐의 이력 함수의 분포 모델의 물리적 특성과도 잘 일치되고 있음을 보였다. 본 모델은 강유전체 이력 특성의 천이 경사도와 임프린트 특성을 고려하고 있으며 인가 전압의 극성이 바뀌는 경우에 발생되는 부 이력 경로에 대해서도 정확하게 분극 전하의 변화를 표현하고 있음을 보였다. 본 모델의 예측 결과는 PZT와 SBT의 두 종류의 강유전체에 대해서 측정 결과와 잘 일치하고 있음을 보였다. 또한, 본 모델을 AHDL 코드로 구현하여 스펙트레 시뮬레이터를 통하여 회로 설계를 할 수 있는 환경을 제공하였다.

This paper deals with the experimental assessment of the vibration suppression of the smart structures. First, we have presented the paper about the new high-speed active control system that we have developed using the DSP320C6713 microprocessor and a peripheral system composed of a data acquisition system, A/D and D/A converters, piezoelectric (PZT) actuator/sensors, and drivers using PA95. Since fast data processing is very important in the active vibration control of the structures, we utilized the fast processing DSP320C6713 microprocessor as a main processor to the controller and fast peripheral devices for fast control loop. To realize a fast active vibration control, we have analyzed and tested the processing time of the peripheral devices and provided the corresponding test results. Especially, we have focused on achieving the fast signal amplification of the PA95 device since it takes most of loop times of the control system. Finally, we performed numerous experiments of active vibration control of the aluminum plate to validate the superior performance of the developed control system based on previous mode tests of the plate.

Recently, researchers in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) have been rigorously striving to replace the conventional NDE techniques with the smart material based SHM techniques, employing smart materials such as piezoelectric materials. For instance, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique employing piezo-impedance (lead zirconate titanate, PZT) transducer is known for its sensitivity in detecting local damage. For practical applications, various external factors such as fluctuations of temperature and loading, affecting the effectiveness of the EMI technique ought to be understood and compensated. This paper aims at investigating the damage monitoring capability of EMI technique in the presence of axial stress with fixed boundary condition. A compensation technique using effective frequency shift (EFS) by cross-correlation analysis was incorporated to compensate the effect of loading and boundary stiffening. Experimental tests were conducted by inducing damages on lab-sized aluminium beams in the presence of tensile and compressive forces. Two types of damages, crack propagation and bolts loosening were simulated. With EFS for compensation, both cross-correlation coefficient (CC) index and reduction in peak frequency were found to be efficient in characterizing damages in the presence of varying axial loading.

Piezo-based active structural health monitoring (SHM) requires amplifiers specifically designed for capacitive loads. Moreover, with the increase in number of applications of wireless SHM systems, energy efficiency and cost reduction for this type of amplifiers is becoming a requirement. General lab grade amplifiers are big and costly, and not built for outdoor environments. Although some piezoceramic power amplifiers are available in the market, none of them are specifically targeting the wireless constraints and low power requirements. In this paper, a piezoceramic transducer amplifier for wireless active SHM systems has been designed. Power requirements are met by two digital On/Off switches that set the amplifier in a standby state when not in use. It provides a stable ${\pm}180$ Volts output with a bandwidth of 7k Hz using a single 12 V battery. Additionally, both voltage and current outputs are provided for feedback control, impedance check, or actuator damage verification. Vibration control tests of an aluminum beam were conducted in the University of Houston lab, while wireless active SHM tests of a wind turbine blade were performed in the Harbin Institute of Technology wind tunnel. The results showed that the developed amplifier provided equivalent results to commercial solutions in suppressing structural vibrations, and that it allows researchers to perform active wireless SHM on moving objects with no power wires from the grid.

This study presents a numerical investigation on the sensitivity of electromechanical (EM) impedance responses to inner damaged concrete of a prestressed anchorage zone. Firstly, the Ottosen yield criterion is selected to simulate the plasticity behavior of the concrete anchorage zone under the compressive loading. Secondly, several overloading cases are selected to analyze inner damage formations in the concrete of the anchorage zone. Using a finite element (FE) model of the anchorage zone, the relationship between applied forces and stresses is analyzed to illustrate inner plasticity regions in concrete induced by the overloading. Thirdly, EM impedance responses of surface-mounted PZT (lead-zirconate-titanate) sensors are numerically acquired before and after concrete damage occurrence in the anchorage zone. The variation of impedance responses is estimated using the RMSD (root-mean-square-deviation) damage metric to quantify the sensitivity of the signals to inner damaged concrete. Lastly, a novel PZT skin, which can measure impedance signatures in predetermined frequency ranges, is designed for the anchorage zone to sensitively monitor the EM impedance signals of the inner damaged concrete. The feasibility of the proposed method is numerically evaluated for a series of damage cases of the anchorage zone. The results reveal that the proposed impedance-based method is promising for monitoring inner damaged concrete in anchorage zones.

본 논문에서 호흡 기반의 운전자 졸음 감지 센서 시스템에 대해 언급하였다. 센서 시스템은 운전자의 복부 부분 안전벨트에 장착된 PZT 압력센서와 개인용 컴퓨터로 구성됐다. PZT 압력센서는 호흡 시 운전자 복부의 움직임에 의해 압력센서에 가해지는 압력의 변화를 측정하기 위해 사용되었고 운전자의 졸음을 감지하기 위한 신호처리는 Labview를 사용하여 개발됐다. 30세 남자 운전자를 상대로 운전자 졸음 감지 관련 실험들이 수행되어 졌다. 운전자가 각성상태일때 호흡의 크기는 졸음상태일 때보다 컸으며 반대로 호흡 주파수는 낮았다. 이런 실험을 바탕으로 제작된 졸음 감지 센서 시스템은 운전자의 졸음을 성공적으로 실시간 감지할 수 있었다.
