Increasing interest in prognostics and health management has heightened the need for wireless sensor networks (WSN) with efficient power sources. Piezoelectric energy harvesters using Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) are one of the candidate power sources for WSNs as they efficiently convert mechanical vibration energy into electrical energy. These types of devices are resonated at a specific frequency, which has a significant impact on the amount of energy harvested, by external vibration. Hence, precise prediction of mechanical deformation including modal analysis of piezoelectric devices is crucial for estimating the energy generated under specific conditions. In this study, an experimental vibrational system capable of controlling a wide range of frequencies and accelerations was designed to generate mechanical vibration for piezoelectric energy harvesters. In conjunction with MATLAB, the system automatically finds the resonance frequency of harvesters. A small accelerometer and non-contact laser displacement sensor are employed to investigate the mechanical deformation of harvesters. Mechanical deformation under various frequencies and accelerations were investigated and analyzed based on data from two types of sensors. The results verify that the proposed system can be employed to carry out vibration experiments for piezoelectric harvesters and measurement of their mechanical deformation.

A microphone for fully implantable hearing device was generally implanted under the skin of the temporal bone. So, the implanted microphone's characteristics can be affected by the accompanying noise due to masticatory movement. In this paper, the implantable microphone with 2-channels structure was designed for reduction of the generated noise signal by masticatory movement. And an experimental model for generation of the noise by masticatory movement was developed with considering the characteristics of human temporal bone and skin. Using the model, the speech signal by a speaker and the artificial noise by a vibrator were supplied simultaneously into the experimental model, the electrical signals were measured at the proposed microphone. The collected signals were processed using a general adaptive filter with least mean square(LMS) algorithm. To confirm performance of the proposed methods, the correlation coefficient and the signal to noise ratio(SNR) before and after the signal processing were calculated. Finally, the results were compared each other.

In this study, we suggested a slim-type actuator that can be controlled in radial direction for compensating coma aberration in high-capacity optical storage devices. To deal successfully with narrow space in slim-type optical pick-up for notebook pc device, additional yokes for tilting motion are integrated into main yoke of the actuator. And the location of tilting coils is determined for mass-b3lancing effect to achieve optimal configuration for high driving sensitivity. We also suggested new concept of lens holder to guarantee excellent stability of control system by enhancing the gain margin at secondary resonant frequency. The concept was realized by forming damping sections in the lens holder, which prevent vibrational energy from transferring to lens. An exclusive measurement system was newly developed for fast and precise measurement of dynamic characteristics of actuators and utilized for the practical use. We hope to make good use of this system also in time to come.

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for observing organic molecules, as it combines sensitive vibrational excitations with a non-destructive probe. However, gaseous volatile compounds in the air are challenging to detect, as they are not easy to immobilize in a sensing device and give enough signal by themselves. In this study, we fabricated a thin nanocrystalline metal-organic framework (nMOF) film on a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) substrate to enhance the IR vibration signal of the gaseous volatile compounds captured within the nMOF pores. Specifically, we synthesized nanocrystalline HKUST-1 (nHKUST-1) particles of ca. 80 nm diameter and used a colloidal dispersion of these particles to fabricate nHKUST-1 films by a spin-coating process. After finding that benzene was readily adsorbed onto nHKUST-1, an nHKUST-1 film deposited on a plasmonic Au substrate was successfully applied to the IR detection of gaseous benzene in air using surface-enhanced IR spectroscopy.

A flexible piezoelectric energy harvester(f-PEH) that converts tiny mechanical and vibrational energy resources into electric signals without any restraints is drawing attention as a self-powered source to operate flexible electronic systems. In particular, the nanocomposites-based f-PEHs fabricated by a simple and low-cost spin-coating method show a mechanically stable and high output performance compared to only piezoelectric polymers or perovskite thin films. Here, the non-piezoelectric polymer matrix of the nanocomposite-based f-PEH is replaced by a P(VDF-TrFE) piezoelectric polymer to improve the output performance generated from the f-PEH. The piezoelectric hybrid nanocomposite is produced by distributing the perovskite PZT nanoparticles inside the piezoelectric elastomer; subsequently, the piezoelectric hybrid material is spin-coated onto a thin metal substrate to achieve a nanocomposite-based f-PEH. A fabricated energy device after a two-step poling process shows a maximum output voltage of 9.4 V and a current of 160 nA under repeated mechanical bending. Finite element analysis(FEA) simulation results support the experimental results.

기계적 에너지는 생물학 및 환경 시스템에서 트라이보 전기 나노제너레이터(TENG)로 얻을 수 있다. 웨어러블 전자제품에서 TENG는 진동 센서에 적용된 인간의 움직임에서 생체역학적 에너지를 수확할 수 있다는 점에서 많은 의미를 지닌다. 웨어러블 TENG은 습기에 취약하며, 폴리테트라플루오로에틸렌(PTFE)은 이러한 용도에 사용되는 우수한 소수성 물질이다. 높은 전기 음성 불소 원자의 존재는 매우 낮은 표면 에너지로 이어진다. 동시에 미세다공막 표면에 전자를 효율적으로 포획함으로써 소자의 성능이 증가한다. PTFE에 비해 상대적으로 적은 플루오라이드 원자의 존재로 인해 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드(PVDF)에서도 유사한 거동을 보인다.

하반신 마비환자가 스키를 탈 수 있도록 고안된 모노스키는 스키 플레이트 위에 좌석이 설치된 형태의 썰매이다. 스키를 탈 때 설면으로부터 전달되는 충격은 정상인의 경우 다리관절의 거동에 의하여 흡수되지만 모노스키의 경우에는 좌석에 탑승한 인체에 그대로 전달된다. 상용화된 대부분의 모노스키에는 이를 보완하기 위하여 스키 마운트와 시트 간에 링크 메커니즘과 충격완충장치가 설치되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 유압 실린더가 장착된 모노스키의 주행 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 불규칙한 표면 주행 중 발생하는 진동 충격 가속도를 분석하여 탑승자의 안락감을 평가할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였다. 안락감 평가방법은 국제 규격인 BS6841 을 사용하였다. 개발 모델을 이용하여 유압 완충장치의 노즐조절에 따른 안락감을 평가하였다.

Ferroresonance is a non-linear vibrational phenomenon that is generated by the electrical interaction of the inductance component with the capacitor component of a certain capacitance as the device of the inductance component such as a transformer is saturated due to the degradation, the waveform distortion of current and voltage, and the oscillation of overcurrent and overvoltage in a system. Recently, ferroresonance was generated from the waveform distortion of current and voltage, or the overvoltage or undervoltage phenomenon caused by the nature of an electrical power system and design technology of the transformer in the three phase transformer system. Hence, in general, ferroresonance analyzed by converting to the LC equivalent circuit. However, in general, the aforementioned analytical method only applies to the resonance phenomenon that is generated by the interaction of the capacitance of bussbar and grounding, and switching as the capacitor component with PT and the transformer as the inductance component in a system. Subsequently, the condition where ferroresonance was generated since overvoltage was supplied as line voltage to the phase voltage and thus the iron core is saturated due to the interconnection between grounded and ungrounded systems could not be analyzed when single phase PT was connected in a ${\Delta}$/Y connection system. In this study, voltage swell in the configuration of grounded circuit of a step-up transformer with the ${\Delta}-{\Delta}$ connection linked to PT for control power and the ferroresonance generated by overvoltage when the line voltage of the ${\Delta}-{\Delta}$ connection was connected to the phase voltage of the grounded Y-Y connection were analyzed using PSCAD / EMTDC through the failure case of the transformer caused by ferroresonance in the system with the ${\Delta}-{\Delta}$/Y-Y connection, and subsequently, the preventive measure of ferroresonance was proposed.

국내 상수도관의 파열, 결함 등으로 인한 누수율로 인한 손실이 매우 크고, 이런 누수를 예방을 위한 방지 대책이 필요한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 진동 센서를 활용한 누수 탐지 센서를 개발하고 인공지능 기술을 활용한 최적의 누수 탐지 알고리듬을 제시하고자 한다. 상수도 배관에서 취득한 진동음은 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)를 이용한 전처리 과정을 거친 뒤, 최적화된 트리 기반 부스팅 알고리듬을 적용하여 누수 분류를 하였다. 다양한 실증 환경에서 취득한 약 26만여 개의 실험 데이터에 적용한 결과 기존의 SVM(Support Vector Machine) 방법에 비해약 4%가 향상된 97%의 정확도를 얻었고, 연산 처리속도는 약 1,362배가 향상되어 엣지 디바이스 적용에도 적합함을 확인하였다.
