In this research, design scheme of fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor system for aircraft application is suggested from the results and the know-how from the fon11er researches on structural health monitoring techniques using fiber optic sensors. Design factors to be taken into consideration were derived for both sensor parts including connection and system parts. For the stability of FBG sensor system, design requirements of temperature, vibration, humidity, electromagnetic interference were presented from U. S. military standards. The direction of software programming which increases stability and perfon11ance of the aircraft with the FBG sensor system was also examined.

Optical measurement methods make it possible to detect object displacements with high resolution and noncontact measurements. Also, they are very robust against EMI noises and have long operation range. An optical triangulation sensor is one of widely used displacement measurement sensors for its sub-micron resolution, fast response, simple structure, and low cost. However. there are several errors caused by inclinations of a surface. speckle effects, power fluctuations of light sources, and noises of detectors. In this paper, in order to minimize error effects, we performed error analysis and proposed a new structure. Then, we setup a new modeling method and verify it through simulations and experiments. Based on the new model. we propose a new sensor structure and establish design criteria. Finally, we design a signal processing system to overcome a resolution-limited problem of light detectors. The resolution of the proposed system is 0.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in 5mm operating range.

본 연구에서는 연료전지에의 응용을 위한 저가격의 무산소, 상온동작 가능한 센서구조를 설계, 제작하고 특성을 평가하였다. 연료전지의 수소 농도를 측정하기 위해서는 50ppm에서 5% 이상까지 넓은 범위를 감지할 수 있는 수소센서의 성능이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 특성과 상용화를 위해 가격 경쟁력을 갖는 수소센서로서, 수소흡착에 따른 Pd의 저항변화 특성을 이용한 센서 구조에 대하여 연구하였다. 높은 저항치를 갖는 Pd 후막 구조설계를 통하여 저항 감소형의 센서를 제작하여 특성평가를 하였다. 저가형으로 설계 제작된 Pd 수소센서는 50~20000ppm 범위에서 감지특성을 나타내었으며, 약 40sec의 응답속도를 보였다.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a three-axis force sensor with three parallel plate structures(PPSs) for measuring force in a finger force measuring system for a spherical object catch. The three-axis force sensor is composed of a Fx force sensor, Fy force sensor and a Fz force sensor, and the elements of Fx force sensor and Fy force sensor are a parallel plate structure(PPS) respectively and Fz force sensor is two PPS. The three-axis force sensor was designed using FEM(Finite Element Method), and manufactured using strain-gages. The characteristics test of the three-axis force sensor was carried out. As a test results, the interference error of the three-axis force sensor was less than 1.32%, the repeatability error of each sensor was less than 0.04%, and the non-linearity was less than 0.04%.

In this paper, to detect external sound frequency on the latticed structure, fiber optic sensor net using Sagnac interferometer was fabricated and tested. The latticed structure fabricated with dimension of 50cm in width and 50cm in height, the optical fiber, 50m in length, distributed and fixed on the latticed structure. Single mode fiber, a laser with 1,550nm in wavelength, 2${\times}$2 coupler were used. External sound signal applied to the fiber optic sensor net and the detected optical signals were compared and analyzed to the detected microphone signals against time and frequency domain. Based on the experimental results, fiber optic sensor net using Sagnac interferometer detected external sound frequency, effectively. This system can be expanded to the structural health monitoring system.

This paper describes the design of a four-axis force/torque sensor with PSPBs (Parallel Step Plate Beams). The sensor is composed of eight PSPBs, a force/torque transmitting block, and fixing blocks. It is designed by using the FEM(Finite Element Method), and fabricated by using strain gages. The characteristic tests of the sensor are carried out, and the interference error, repeatability error, and non-linearity error are less than 2.21%, 0.03% and 0.03%. Furthermore, the structure of the four-axis force/torque sensor with PSPBs has a larger rated capacity than that of the four-axis force/torque sensor with PPBs under the same overall sensor size and the same rated output. It is thought that the developed four-axis force/torque sensor with PSPBs can be used for measuring the forces and torques in an intelligent robot, automation devices, etc.

This study presents and develops a textile type touch sensor structural design that is easy to implement. First, the design of the touch sensor circuit finds the size of the switch with the easiest finger contact and selects a structure with a long circuit with the lowest resistance value. An experiment is performed on a change in an electrostatic capacitance value that accompanies the distance on the electrode and the magnitude of the electrode area of the structure; however, the structure having the distance on the electrode and the large electrode area shows the best resistance change. The laundry assessment was conducted three times at a time and ten times at a time with an average standard deviation less than one ohm, with little change in resistance. Consequently, there were no problems with durability and performance for laundry. Finally, in the bending evaluation, the difference in resistance can be seen between 1-2 ohms and was developed as a smart wearable in the future; in addition, there was no problem as a difference in resistance can be seen between 1 and 2 ohms.

In this paper, the SPINS, a sensor network security mechanism, was researched to design a system to be applied to home network structure and check the security of which degree was ensured by a virtual network of home networking middleware. Sensor Network security mechanism SPINS provides data confidentiality and authentication by SNEP, and provides authenticated broadcast by ${\mu}TESLA$. We designed the system that applied SPINS to home networking middleware basic structure.

When we design a sensor nodes, a energy-consumption of sensor nodes centers on design concerns to prolong lifetime of sensor network. In recent year, many researches have attempted to study this issue. One of that is TTDD(Two-Tier Data Dissemination approach) proposed to support a sensor network which includes several mobile sensor nodes. But it gives rise to a problem which increasing control packet for the formation and maintenance a grid structure. Therefore, we proposed a Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol used a permanent grid structure for reducing control packets in a sensor network.

In the pressure sensor, about below 20 kPa, the center boss diaphragm structure is generally used, but it is hard to obtain the high sensitivity because the center boss structure is limited at the thickness and size of diaphragm with chip size. Therefore, this paper suggests that the Center boss structure has surface etched diaphragm using a stress concentration to improve the sensitivity. We carried out the simulation and fabrication applied new diaphragm design. In the result, the sensitivity is improved to 60% without the change of non-linearity (0.14%FS). So, the Center boss of surface etched diaphragm can be applied for the high sensitivity in the low-pressure sensor.
