Structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructure using wireless smart sensor networks (WSSNs) has received significant public attention in recent years. The benefits of WSSNs are that they are low-cost, easy to install, and provide effective data management via on-board computation. This paper reports on the deployment and evaluation of a state-of-the-art WSSN on the new Jindo Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge in South Korea with a 344-m main span and two 70-m side spans. The central components of the WSSN deployment are the Imote2 smart sensor platforms, a custom-designed multimetric sensor boards, base stations, and software provided by the Illinois Structural Health Monitoring Project (ISHMP) Services Toolsuite. In total, 70 sensor nodes and two base stations have been deployed to monitor the bridge using an autonomous SHM application with excessive wind and vibration triggering the system to initiate monitoring. Additionally, the performance of the system is evaluated in terms of hardware durability, software stability, power consumption and energy harvesting capabilities. The Jindo Bridge SHM system constitutes the largest deployment of wireless smart sensors for civil infrastructure monitoring to date. This deployment demonstrates the strong potential of WSSNs for monitoring of large scale civil infrastructure.

항공기 외부에 장착되어 전술임무에 사용되는 센서 포드는 운용기간 동안 예상되는 하중 스펙트럼에 대한 피로수명이 확보되어야 한다. 센서 포드와 같은 임무장비는 해석의 효율성을 고려하여 동적 진동 환경조건을 적용한 주파수 영역의 피로수명 예측방법이 선호되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 실제 비행체 하중 스펙트럼을 고려하여 정적 및 동적 하중에 의한 응력을 합성한 주파수 영역에서의 피로수명 예측방법을 제안하였다. 기존 해석방법과 비교한 결과 제안된 해석방법은 피로수명이 보수적으로 예측되었다. 그리고 제안된 방법으로 해석한 결과 설계된 센서 포드는 피로수명 요구조건을 만족하였다.

In the era of building engineering the intensification of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is world-shattering magnetism. It has lot of rewards over ordinary concrete i.e., enrichment in production, cutback in manpower, brilliant retort to load and vibration along with improved durability. In the present study, the mechanical strength of CM-2 (SCC containing 10% of rice husk ash (RHA) as cement replacement and 600 grams of glass fibers per cubic meter) was investigated at various dosages of cement replacement by fly ash (FA) and GGBS. A total of 17 SCC mixtures including two control SCC mixtures (CM-1 and CM-2) were developed for investigating fresh and hardened properties in which, ten ternary cementitious blends of SCC by blending OPC+RHA+FA, OPC+RHA+GGBS and five quaternary cementitious blends (OPC+RHA+FA+GGBS) at different replacement dosages of FA and GGBS were developed with reference to CM-2. For constant water-cement ratio (0.42) and dosage of SP (2.5%), the addition of glass fibers (600 grams/m³) in CM-1 i.e., CM-2 shows lower workability but higher mechanical strength. While fly ash based ternary blends (OPC+RHA+FA) show better workability but lower mechanical strength as FA content increases in comparison to GGBS based ternary blends (OPC+RHA+GGBS) on increasing GGBS content. The pattern for mixtures appeared to exhibit higher workablity as that of the concentration of FA+GGBS rises in quaternary blends (OPC+RHA+FA+GGBS). A decrease in compressive strength at 7-days was noticed with an increase in the percentage of FA and GGBS as cement replacement in ternary and quaternary blended mixtures with respect to CM-2. The highest 28-days compressive strength (41.92 MPa) was observed for mix QM-3 and the lowest (33.18 MPa) for mix QM-5.

An autofilter is a device that removes impurities contained in heavy fuel oil used in diesel engines of ships or power plants, and also automatically removes impurities accumulated in the filter through a reverse washing function. The reducer-integrated motor serves to rotate the filter at low speed to enable reverse automatic cleaning in the autofilter device. To achieve a low speed of 0.65 to 0.75 rpm in a reducer-integrated motor, a small motor that can operate at 97rpm at a rated voltage of 110 V and 112.5 rpm at 220 V is required. Additionally, a large gear ratio of 1/150 is required. To ensure the durability and reliability of these reducers, the strength of the gear must be evaluated at the design stage. In general, there is a limit to evaluating the stress and strain state according to the vibration characteristics acting on each gear in the driving state of the reducer through quasi-static analysis. Therefore, in this study, the operation characteristics of the auto filter's reducer-integrated motor were first analyzed using the rigid body dynamics analysis method. Then, this rigid body dynamics analysis model was extended to a flexible multibody dynamics analysis model to analyze the stress and strain states acting on each gear and evaluate the design feasibility of the gear.

최근의 철도차량은 안전성 향상 및 승객에의 멀티미디어 서비스 제공을 위해 광대역 열차통신네트워크를 설치하고 있다. 플라스틱 광섬유(POF)는 일반 광섬유에 비해 직경이 크고 내구성 및 유지보수성이 우수하기 때문에, 진동 및 온도변화가 큰 환경에서 운행하는 철도차량에 적합하다. 이에 따라, 철도차량내 모든 장치를 POF를 이용하여 All-IP 방식으로 접속하는 1Gbps급 열차통신네트워크를 구현하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 한국철도규격에 의거한 특성 시험을 통하여 POF가 철도차량의 진동 및 온도변화 환경에 적합하다는 것을 확인하였으며, POF 인터페이스를 갖는 전용의 Layer-2 스위치를 개발하였다. 개발된 Layer-2 스위치와 POF를 이용하여 시운전중인 도시철도차량에 1Gbps급 열차통신네트워크를 구성하고 데이터 전송률과 손실률을 측정하여 성능을 검증하였다. POF는 경제성도 우수하며, 향후 철도차량용 통신네트워크는 POF 기반으로 광대역화될 것으로 기대된다.
