Utilizing robotic based reconfigurable nodal structural health monitoring systems has many advantages over static or human positioned sensor systems. However, creating a robot capable of traversing a variety of civil infrastructures is a difficult task, as these structures each have unique features and characteristics posing a variety of challenges to the robot design. This paper outlines the design and implementation of a novel robotic platform for deployment on ferromagnetic structures as an enabling structural health monitoring technology. The key feature of this design is the utilization of an attachment device which is an advancement of the common magnetic base found in the machine tool industry. By mechanizing this switchable magnetic circuit and redesigning it for light weight and compactness, it becomes an extremely efficient and robust means of attachment for use in various robotic and structural health monitoring applications. The ability to engage and disengage the magnet as needed, the very low power required to do so, the variety of applicable geometric configurations, and the ability to hold indefinitely once engaged make this device ideally suited for numerous robotic and distributed sensor network applications. Presented here are examples of the mechanized variable force magnets, as well as a prototype robot which has been successfully deployed on a large construction site. Also presented are other applications and future directions of this technology.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the magnitude and distribution of stress using a photoelastic model from a distal extension removable partial dentures with three kinds of mandibular major connectors, that is, lingual bar, linguoplate, and swing-lock attachment. A photoelastic model was made of the epoxy resin(PC-1) and hardener(PCH-1) and coated with plastic cement-1 (PC-1) at the lingual surface of the epoxy model and set with three kinds of chrome-cobalt removable partial dentures. A bilateral vertical load of 15kg to the middle portion of the metal bar crossing both the first molars of the right and the left, and a unilateral vertical load of 12.5kg to the right first molar were applied with the use of specially designed loading device and the reflective circular polariscope was used to analyze the photoelastic model under each condition. The following results were obtained : 1. When the bilateral vertical load was applied, the magnitude and distribution of the stress concentration of the edentulous area and the terminal abutment or adjacent teeth was in the order of lingual bar, linguoplate, swing-lock attachment. 2. When the unilateral vertical load was applied, the magnitude and distribution of the stress concentration of the edentulous area and the terminal abutment or adjacent teeth was in the order of lingual bar, linguoplate, swing-lock attachment. 3. When the unilateral vertical load was applied, the magnitude and distribution of the stress concentration of the termial abutment or adjacent teeth on the non-loaded side showed the least stress distribution in case of swing-lock attachment. 4. When the bilateral vertical load and the unilateral vertical load were applied the swing-lock attachment showed the mildest uniform stress distribution on the edentulous area and the alveolar bone around the abutment teeth.

Most tasks of the large vertical or ceiling structures have been carried out by human power. Those tasks require us much operation costs and times, safety devices, etc. So the need of automation for those tasks have been rising. That automation needs a wall-climbing mobile vehicle. Most former researches are things about attachment devices and moving mechanisms. A wall-climbing mobile vehicle must be designed by a method different from the case of the vehicle of the horizontal environment. That is because gravity acts as a negative role on the stability of a wall-climbing vehicle. In this thesis, the particular shape characteristics of a wall-climbing mobile vehicle are derived by the wall-environment modeling. In addition, some design constraints of the permanent magnetic wheel as an attachment device was studied. According to those requirements and constraints, one specific wall-climbing mobile vehicle was designed and some experiments were made on the attachment ability of that vehicle.

본 논문에서는 PC에서 사용하고 있는 주변기기를 연결하기 위한 범용 인터페이스의 성능과 구조를 개선하기 위하여 ATA(AT Attachment Interface with Extension)의 성능 및 SCSI(Small Computer System Interface)의 지능적인 동작의 장점들을 결합한 확장된 ATA 인터페이스를 구현하였다. SCSI버스는 지능적인 동작을 수행하는 주변기기를 위한 버스로써 잘 정리된 명령체계와 안정된 하드웨어 구조를 갖는 우수한 버스이다. 그러나 가격이 ATA주변기기에 비하여 2배 이상 차이나기 때문에 경제적으로 부담을 갖는다. 반면에 ATA주변기기는 초기에는 저성능이었으나, 개선 후 속도 측면에서 SCSI에 근접하고 경제적 측면에서도 우수하다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 장점을 이용하여 경제적 특성과 성능을 모두 만족시킬 수 있는 개선된 인터페이스 구조를 제안하고 하드웨어로 구현하였다.

This paper presents the design of a USB home controller and a home control system that specially is focused on controlling home appliances as a part of home network systems, the implementation of the USB device access class in an OSGi service platform and a home security system as an application. Designed USB home controllers are able to control various home appliances. They can be used not only to control big home appliances like a boiler but also to control small home appliances like a toaster because they are low-cost solutions. The USB home controller supports real time control using the interrupt transfer of the USB specification. And It is easy to use by homemakers who have no technical knowledge of the system because they just plug and unplug it in a home server then it automatically joins and leaves a home control system. This technique is based on hot-plug and the USB Device Access class in an OSGi Service Platform. The USB Device Access class supports the coordination of automatic detection and attachment of the USB home controller on an OSGi Service Platform, and it downloads and installs device drivers on demand. For an application, we implemented and tested a home security system using two USB home controllers and a CDMA module.

높은 재현성과 함께 효율적인 수동 정렬을 위하여 제안된 대형코어 단일모드 폴리머 광도파로를 이용하여 제작 가능한 폴리머 광도파로 소자인 가변 광감쇠기를 제안하고 삼차원 빔전파 방법을 이용하여 소자의 동작 특성을 파악하고 최적 구조를 설계하였다. 소자의 표면에 집적된 박막 전극 히터에서 발생하는 열로 인해 폴리머 광도파로에서 발생하는 굴절률 분포 변화를 수치해석적으로 구하였으며 이 결과를 이용하여 삼차원 빔전파 해석을 수행하였다. 대형코어 광도파로가 가지는 작은 굴절률 대비로 인해 효과적인 광감쇠 현상을 작은 온도 변화로부터 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 일반 광도파로 VOA에서 섭씨 150도 이상의 온도 변화가 필요한 반면 대형 코아 광도파로 VOA는 섭씨 70도 정도의 온도 변화 만으로도 20 dB 이상의 감쇠를 얻을 수 있었다. 대형코아 광도파로가 가지는 장점인 높은 정렬오차 허용범위와 더불어 낮은 구동전압으로 동작하는 장점을 함께 가지는 가변 광감쇠기 설계를 완성하였다.

In this task, the tool dynamometer design and manufacture, and the Ansys S/W structural analysis program for tool attachment that satisfies the cutting force measurement requirements of the tool dynamometer system are used to determine the cutting force generated by metal cutting using 3-axis static structural analysis and the LabVIEW system. The cutting power in a cutting process using a milling tool for processing metals provides useful information for understanding the processing, optimization, tool status monitoring, and tool design. Thus, various methods of measuring cutting power have been proposed. The device consists of a strain-gauge-based sensor fitted to a new design force sensing element, which is then placed in a force reduction. The force-sensing element is designed as a symmetrical cross beam with four arms of a rectangular parallel line. Furthermore, data duplication is eliminated by the appropriate setting the strain gauge attachment position and the construction of a suitable Wheatstone full-bridge circuit. This device is intended for use with rotating spindles such as milling tools. Verification and machining tests were performed to determine the static and dynamic characteristics of the tool dynamometer. The verification tests were performed by analyzing the difference between strain data measured by weight and that derived by theoretical calculations. Processing test was performed by attaching a tool dynamometer to the MCT to analyze data generated by the measuring equipment during machining. To maintain high productivity and precision, the system monitors and suppresses process disturbances such as chatter vibration, imbalances, overload, collision, forced vibration due to tool failure, and excessive tool wear; additionally, a tool dynamometer with a high signal-to-noise ratio is provided.

본 연구에서는 기계식 해체공법을 적용한 슬래브 해체 시 발생하는 진동을 분석하기 위해 진동 자료를 획득하였다. 획득한 진동 자료는 부착장치에 따라 구별하여 파형 및 우세주파수 분석을 수행하였고, 작업위치와 계측위치 사이의 거리를 측정하는 방법을 달리하여 상관관계를 분석하였다. 부착 장치 별 파형분석 결과 장비 작업에 의한 진동 파형의 위상 변화는 거의 없고 진동속도의 크기인 진폭의 변화만 일어났으며, 주파수 분석 결과 압쇄기를 사용한 경우 브레이커를 사용한 경우에 비해 주파수 대역이 낮으며, 해체 대상 건축물의 고유 진동수와 주파수 대역이 근접하였다. 상관관계 분석결과 작업 위치와 계측위치의 이격거리는 상호 간의 직선거리가 아닌 실제 건축물을 따라 진동이 전파하는 경로로 평가해야 높은 상관성을 보임을 확인하였다.
