Wearable and ubiquitous micro systems will be greatly growing and their related devices should be self-powered in order to avoid the replacement of finite power sources, for example, by scavenging energy from the environment. With ever reducing power requirements of both analog and digital circuits, power scavenging approaches are becoming increasingly realistic. One approach is to drive an electromechanical converter from ambient motion or vibration. Vibration-driven generators based on electromagnetic, electrostatic and piezoelectric technologies have been demonstrated. Among various generator types proposed so far, piezoelectric generator possesses considerable potential in micro system. To overcome low mechanical-to- electric energy conversion, the piezoelectric device should activate in resonance mode in response to external vibration. Normally, the external vibration excretes at low frequency ranging 0.1 to 200 Hz, whereas the resonant frequencies of the devices are fixed as constant. Therefore, keeping their resonant mode in varying external vibration can be one of important points in enhancing the conversion efficiency. We investigated the possibility of use of multi-bender type piezoelectric devices. To match the external vibration frequency with the device resonant frequency, the various devices with different resonant frequency were chosen. Under an external vibration acceleration of 0.1G at 120 Hz, the device exhibited a peak-to-peak voltage of 2.8 V and a power of 0.5 mw in resonance mode.

최근 구조해석기법이 발달하고 구조재료가 고강도화 함에 따라 건물의 스팬이 점점 길어지고 따라서 바닥의 고유진동수와 감쇠능력이 낮아지고 있다. 이로 인해 과거에는 고려하지 않았던 진동문제가 빈번하게 대두되고 있으며, 구조체의 고유진동수가 사람이 민감하게 느끼는 범위에 들기 쉬우며, 더욱이 군중들이 모여서 뛰고 하는 장소는 바닥판의 고유진동수와 가진진동수가 근접함으로 인한 증폭현상이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 스팬이 33m로서 장스팬인 다목적 홀을 대상으로 진동측정을 하여 고유진동수와 감쇠를 측정하였고, 본 장소에서 국내 유명가수의 공연시 진동을 측정하여 진동실태를 조사하였다. 조사결과 2차 하모닉과 바닥판의 고유진동수가 근접할 때 공진현상이 발생함을 알 수 있었으며, 이렇게 조사한 자료를 바탕으로 설계 유지관리시 고려해야 할 사항들을 검토하였다.

위스퍼링 갤러리 모드가 동작하는 유전체 원판 공진기의 공진 특성은 모드를 여기시키기 위하여 원판 공진기 주위에 배치한 외부 회로에 의하여 영향올 받게 된다. 이러한 현상올 해석하기 위하여, 원판 공진기를 모드 결합이 일어나는 결합부와 결합이 일어나지 않는 비결합부로 나누어 해석하였다. 결합부에서는 원판올 정합회로로 임피던스 매칭한 후, 비평형 유전체 도파로의 결합 전송 방정식을 유도하였다. 결합 전송 방정식으로부터 결합 계수, 결합 전자계 분포, 전력의 이동량 및 모드 결합 현상을 고려한 공진 주파수를 계산하였다. 또한, 공진 특성에 관한 실험을 통하여, 공진 주파수의 계산치와 실험치 간의 오차가 약 1.28%이고 FSR의 경우 약 0.6%임을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, a tiny piezoelectric linear motor using a vibration made of the transducer has been invented. The motor consists of a shaft, mobile element, and piezoelectric transducer using a piezoelectric radial mode bimorph disk. The fringe of the bimorph disk is fixed firmly which means this area has no degree of freedom. Therefore, the radial mode of the tranducer transfers to the flexurd mode. The mobile elements move along the shaft by the impact force generated by the flexurd mode of the piezoelectric transducer. The piezoelectric ceramic disks have thickness of 0.1 mm and diameter of 3.5 mm. The elastic disk is introduced between two disks of the ceramic, which has thickness of 0.1 mm and diameter of 3.8 mm. The fringe of the elastic disk is fixed by a brass cylinder which height is 1.2 mm. The Pyrex shaft is used which has diameter of 1 mm and height of 10 mm. The motors are operated at their resonant frequencies. The dynamic properties of the motor have been intensively measured and analyzed according to the applied voltage wave forms at the resonant frequencies. As the sawtooth and rectangular voltage waves are applied, the velocity, the thrust force, and the velocity dependence of the mobile position are measured. The dynamic characteristics are also analyzed within a period of each wave using laser vibrometer. The velocity of the mobile is moderately constant along the shaft. The better dynamic characteristics are obtained in the case of applying the rectangular wave.

A new and significantly small guided and resonant structure is suggested to take over bulky metallic hollow waveguides used in military satellite transceivers. Below Ku-band, the conventional waveguides resulting in quite heavy transceivers will be replaced by the low profile SIW(substrate integrated waveguide) structures that are distinguished from the others in that the suggested ones have much lower cut-off frequencies by the circuital configuration of DNG(dobule negative) constitutive parameters and become even smaller than the other SIWs. The design scheme is validated by the circuit and full-wave simulations from the guided, resonant, and coupled structures. Besides, a bandpass filter as the suggested coupled structure is fabricated with a cheap substrate in a low-budget fabrication process and its frequency response is measured as verification of the purpose of the design.

In this paper, we have explained electrical characteristics of a step-down Rosen type piezoelectric transformer for AC-adapter. When the electric voltage is applied to the driving piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the longitudinal direction, then output voltage is generated at the generating piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the thickness direction due to the piezoelectric effects. From the piezoelectric direct and converse effects, symbolic expressions between the electric inputs and outputs of the step-down piezoelectric transformer have derived with an equivalent circuit model. With the symbolic expressions, load and frequency characteristics have discussed through simulation. Output voltage and current from a 11-layered and a 13-layered piezoelectric transformers were measured under the various conditions of loads and frequencies. First we measured resonant frequency from impedance curve and got equivalent impedance value of the piezoelectric transformer from admittance plot. It was shown from experiments that output voltage has increased and resonant frequency has changed according to various resistor loads. Output current has decreased inversely proportional to changing of loads. Moreover, the measured values of output voltage and current are well agreed with the simulated values of the proposed equivalent circuit model.

This paper presents a flexible low-profile antenna sensor for fatigue crack detection and monitoring. The sensor was inspired by the sense of pain in bio-systems as a protection mechanism. Because the antenna sensor does not need wiring for power supply or data transmission, it is an ideal candidate as sensing elements for the implementation of engineering sensor skins with a dense sensor distribution. Based on the principle of microstrip patch antenna, the antenna sensor is essentially an electromagnetic cavity that radiates at certain resonant frequencies. By implementing a metallic structure as the ground plane of the antenna sensor, crack development in the metallic structure due to fatigue loading can be detected from the resonant frequency shift of the antenna sensor. A monostatic microwave radar system was developed to interrogate the antenna sensor remotely. Fabrication and characterization of the antenna sensor for crack monitoring as well as the implementation of the remote interrogation system are presented.

최근 개발된 탄성파 공명산란이론에 기초하여, 원통형 유체산란체, 원통형 구멍 및 공명산란체의 문제에서 초음파탐촉자로 측정할 수 있는 응력 성분간 관계식을 유도하였다. 계산된 공명산란 응력부분파는 산란계수와 유사한 주파수 거동을 보이는데, 특히 공명주파수 근처에서 180°의 급격한 위상변화를 보인다. 유체 매질내 압력의 주파수 거동도 고찰함으로써, 탄성파 공명산란이론에 대한 이해를 증진하였다. 본 논문에서 연구되고 개발된 방법을 사용하면, 탄성매질 내의 유체개재물에 대한 비파괴평가의 신뢰성이 더욱 향상될 것이다.

It is very important to evaluate the reliable nonlinear modulus characteristics of soils not only in the analysis of geotechnical structures under working stress conditions but also for the soil dynamic problems. For the evaluation of modulus characteristics of soils, various tests have been mostly employed in laboratory. However, different testing techniques are likely to have different ranges of reliable strain measurements, different applied stress level, and different loading frequencies, and the modulus of soils can be affected by these variables. For reliable evaluation, therefore, those effects on the modulus need to be considered, and measured values should be effectively adjusted to actual conditions where the soil is working. In this paper, to evaluate the modulus characteristics of soils, laboratory testing such as free-free resonant column (FF-RC), resonant column (RC), torsional shear (TS), static TX, and cyclic M/sub R/ tests were performed. The effects of strain amplitude, loading frequency, loading cycles, confining pressure, density, and water content on modulus were investigated. It is shown that the FF-RC test, which is simple and inexpensive testing technique, can provide a reliable estimation of small strain Young's modulus (E/sub max/), and the modulus evaluated by various laboratory tests are comparable to each other fairly well when the effects of these factors are properly taken into account.
