In this study, it evaluate the strain properties of fiber reinforced concrete and fiber reinforced cement composite. The types of fiber are Hooked steel fiber and it was mixed 0.5, 1.0 vol.% in concrete and 1.0, 2.0 vol.% in cement composites. The impact test was conducted by using a projectile (diameter: 25mm, velocity: 170m/s) and strain properties on the rear side of each specimen was evaluated by strain gage. After the impact test, fracture grade, fracture depth was evaluated.

In this study, linearized sweeping of a wavelength sweeping laser was realized. This technique was used to measure the strain on a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor. For linear sweeping, PID control over the wavelength difference between linear and nonlinear sweeping was employed. The performance test showed that linear sweeping with a 46 nm range and a 1 kHz frequency held up well with a 99.5 % decrement in nonlinearity after the 120th feedback. When attached to a strain gage, the FBG sensor registered strain that matched the data sheet within a difference of 4.5[με]. Altogether, linear sweeping can play a leading role in monitoring a safety of large SOC structures as well as in other wavelength sweeping laser related fields.

Microelectronics components contain various materials with different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). Although a large amount of published data on the CTE of standard materials is available, it occasionally becomes necessary to measure this property for a specific actual material over a particular temperature range. A change in the temperature of a material causes a corresponding change in the output of the strain gage installed on the specimen because of not only the mechanical load but also the temperature change. In this paper, a detailed technique for CTE measurement based on these thermal characteristics of strain gages is proposed and its reliability is evaluated. A steel specimen, aluminum specimen, and copper specimen, whose CTE values are well known, were used in this evaluation. The proposed technique was successfully applied to the measurement of the CTE of a coreless package substrate composing of electronics packages.

Axial load distribution in model piles was measured by fiber Bragg Grating(FBG) sensor to investigate a possibility of analyzing the load transfer mechanism by Fiber Optic sensor system. Since FBGs of different wave lengths can be multiplexed in an optical fiber, the installation of sensor system and the measurement of strains are relatively simple, compared with consisting strain gages. In this study, FBG sensors and electric strain gages were embedded in the same piles and the distributions of load transfer by two sensor systems were measured. It was observed from the test results that the variations of axial load by both systems showed insignificant difference and that the measurements by FBG were smoother than those by strain gage. Under the environments of laboratory testing, survival rate of embedded FBG system was higher than that of strain gage. Therefore, it was concluded that the use of FBG sensor has a great potential for the measurement of load transfer for pile foundation.

Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steels are recognized as the primary candidate structural materials for fusion blanket systems. Welding is an inevitable for breeding blanket for pressure tightness and radioisotope confinement. Especially, TIG welding was chosen for sealing because it has the largest gap allowance compared to the other welding methods, and its properties are controllable by feed wire and welding conditions. In this study, the low cycle fatigue test using two-type gage such as extensometer and strain gage was applied to the TIG welded joint of F82H steel, for evaluating fatigue damage accumulation behavior of the HAZs. As the result, the over-tempered HAZ have shown a higher fatigue damage accumulation compared with other materials at all the testing conditions.

Fiber optic sensors hold a great potential for structural monitoring due to their stability and durability. This paper deals with the applicability of long-gage deformation fiber optic sensors to prestressed concrete structures. Two sets of 3 m long-gage sensors are attached to the prestressed concrete girder with parallel topology. Using the quadratic regression of measured deformations over the length of sensors it is possible to extrapolate the deflection of the girder. The static response based on the developed method is compared with the results using conventional strain gages and LVDTs.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fiber direction on the polymerization shrinkage of fiber-reinforced composite. The disc-shaped flowable composite specimens (d = 10 mm, h = 2 mm, Aeliteflo A2, Bisco, Inc., IL, USA) with or without glass fiber bundle (X-80821P Glass Fiber, Bisco, Inc., IL, USA) inside were prepared, and the longitudinal and transversal polymerization shrinkage of the specimens on radial plane were measured with strain gages (Linear S-series 350${\Omega}$, CAS, Seoul, Korea). In order to measure the free polymerization shrinkage of the flowable composite itself, the disc-shaped specimens (d = 7 mm, h = 1 mm) without fiber were prepared, and the axial shrinkage was measured with an LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) displacement sensor. The cross-section of the polymerized specimens was observed with a scanning electron microscope to examine the arrangement of the fiber bundle in composite. The mean polymerization shrinkage value of each specimen group was analyzed with ANOVA and Scheffe post-hoc test (${\alpha}$=0.05). The radial polymerization shrinkage of fiber-reinforced composite was decreased in the longitudinal direction of fiber, but increased in the transversal direction of fiber (p<0.05). We can conclude that the polymerization shrinkage of fiber-reinforced composite splint or restoratives is dependent on the direction of fiber.

A study on the method that can measure the internal strain of composite materials is performed to monitor the health status of composite structures. A fiber optic sensor was constructed using the total reflected extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer(TR-EFPI) probe with a broadband light source. Result obtained from electrical strain gage adhered on the aluminum beam specimen was compared with that from the fiber optic TR-EFPI sensor and showed a good agreement. It was found that fiber optic TR-EFPI sensor system was adequate for monitoring the strain and thus failure processes in the interior of composite materials.

In case of spot-welded joints, the fatigue cracks generally originate from the weld interfaces of the neighborhood nugget tips, and propagate toward the outer surfaces of the sheets. Generally, because fatigue crack was observed in nugget around, strain gage was attached at nugget zone. Accordingly, it was very difficult to detect the generation time of fatigue crack in spot-welded joints and to measure the propagation speed of fatigue crack. We developed the non-destructive method, according to which th fatigue crack propagation rate can be quantitatively estimated by utilizing information obtained from strain gages bonded on the electrode indentations of spot welds. The results measured by real crack were compared with the data which was measured by strain gauge method in fatigue testing. And so fatigue strength was evaluated by stress intensity factor. In this study behavior of fatigue crack propagation under repeated load were considered.

The aim of this study was to promote extensive use of strain gage for accurate measurement in the area of farm machinery research. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Although many strain gate transducers commercially available such as load-cells , accelerometers and pressure transducers have been used in the area of farm machinery research, many types of transducers had to be developed due to the inadaptability or high cost commercial transducers, in many instances. 2. A strain -gaged cantilever beam could be used as a good educational material to demonstrate the methods of Wheatstone bridge arrangement, calibration and theoreticval computation. A ring type load-cell and shaft torque transducer also could be used for the same purpose. 3. The torque and angular speed transducers for an auto-feed thresher and the displacement and pressure transducers for a rice whitener were made and gave satisfactory results. 4. Based on the above results, it is possible to develop simple and low-cost transducers to measure displacement, angular speed , torque and pressure of farm machine elements.
