Bolt-tightened Langevin type vibrators using longitudinal mode of bar were designed and fabricated. In order to amplify the displacement of the tip of the vibrators, stacked ceramics were used and five different shapes of the horns were designed and fabricated. Resonant frequencies and vibrational characteristics of vibrators and horns were analyzed by ANSYS(finite element analysis computer program), and the displacements of tips of the horns were measured. As results, when the number of the stacked ceramics were increased, the displacements of the tips were increased and the driving voltages were decreased. Step1 horn(BLT-Stl) showed maximum displacement of 36.92[${\mu}m$] at 36.7[kHz] with 45[Vrms] and 0.11[A]. The displacement amplification ratio was about 5.2. But, the stress of step1 horn was concentrated on intersection, where two diameters meet. To lessen the stress, step3 shaped horn is recommended.

In this work, we present the comparison between $d_{31}\;and\;d_{33}$ mode characterization using the PZT micro-actuator for large displacement. The PZT micro-actuator consisted of Si, PZT, and Pt layer on SOI wafer. The electrode shapes were laminated and interdigitated for $d_{31}\;and\;d_{33}$ mode, respectively. In order to characterize the actuation mode, we measured the displacement using laser interferometer. The maximum displacement of d31 mode was $12.2{\mu}m$ at 10V, the actuation characterization of d31 was better than that of d33 mode. We estimated that displacement of d33 mode would be larger than that of d31 above 30V.

This paper presents a small loading and positioning device using VCM (voice coil motor). The developed device consists of a VCM-based linear actuating system, a capacitance displacement sensor and a cantilever deflection sensing system. The trust force of the VCM proportional to applied current moves the column supported on two pairs of parallel leaf springs. The infinitesimal displacement of moved column is detected by capacitance displacement sensor with a resolution of 0.1nm and a repeatability of 1nm. Also, a micro cantilever with known stiffness (200N/m), which is mounted on the end of the column, is used as a force sensor to detect the load applied to a specimen. After the cantilever contacts with the specimen, the deflection of cantilever and the load applied to the specimen are measured by using an optical lever system which consists of a diode laser, a mirror and a PSD (position sensitive detector). In this paper, an experimental system was constructed and its actuator and sensing parts were tested and calibrated. Also, the constructed system was applied to the indentation experiment and the load-displacement curve of aluminum was obtained. Experimental results showed that the developed device can be applied for performing nano indentation.

An optical fiber displacement sensor has the advantages of relatively simplicity, cheap, small probe size and immunity against environmental perturbation. The working principle of the sensor is based on the intensity modulation that is detection light intensity reflecting from the surface being measured. This paper presents the mathematical model of displacement measurement mechanism of this sensor type. The theoretical and experimental data are compared to verify the model in describing the realistic approach to sensor design. Finally, the analysis results show that displacement response characteristics such as sensitivity, measuring range are easily modified by principal design parameters such as magnitude of optical Power, diameter of optical fiber core and distance between transmitting fiber and receiving fiber.

The authors' research group has developed a noncontact type of sensors which directly measure the inter-story drift displacements of a building during a seismic event. Soon after that event, such seismically-induced drift displacement data would provide structural engineers with useful information to judge how the stories have been damaged. This paper presents a scheme of estimating the story cumulative plastic deformation ratios based on such measured drift displacement information toward the building safety monitoring. The presented scheme requires the data of story drift displacements and the ground motion acceleration. The involved calculations are rather simple without any detailed information on structural elements required: the story hysteresis loops are first estimated and then the cumulative plastic deformation ratio of each story is evaluated from the estimated hysteresis. The effectiveness of the scheme is demonstrated by utilizing the data of full-scale building model experiment performed at E-defense and conducting numerical simulations.

On this paper, the structural changes of molecules on the water surface were monitored by the measuring system of displacement currents. The measuring system was constructed at home-made Kuhn type LB(Langmuir -Blodgett) deposition apparatus. Solutions of 4-octyl -4\\`- (5-car boxy$.$ -pentamethyleneoxy) azobenzene molecules (8A5H) and stearic acid(C$\_$18/) were spreaded at the air-water interface respectively, and the currents inducted by the dynamic behavior of molecules were measured when the molecules were the molecules were pressed by barrier. From C$\_$18/ mo1ecules two distinct peaks of displacement currents were obtained, which show that the orientations of mo1ecules were charged largely at these Points. The reversibility of displacement currents by compression and expansion was obtained from 8A5H molecules, which shows the compressed molecules which shows the compressed molecules have a tendency to disperse after the compression. But it was not obtained from C$\_$18/ molecules which means that this molecules disperse not easily by decreasing the pressure of the barrier.

In order to secure the safety of various machinery, it is very important to develop a technique for accurately and quickly measuring the cracks generated in the mechanical equipment and evaluating the mechanical characteristics. The evaluation of the mechanical properties is accompanied by an appropriate strain measurement according to the material and crack occurrence of the target structure. Especially, when micro cracks are generated, the evaluation method is very important. Digital image correlation is an optical full field displacement measuring method which is using currently with speckles in the interested area. However the evaluation method and conditions of image distributions have to be considered carefully to measure the crack occurrence because the images of the speckle patterns affect the quality of displacement results. In this study, the speckle pattern density is characterized to improve the accuracy of the measurement method. And also the micro crack initiation is detected by the measured displacement in the adopted speckle pattern distribution. It is shown that the proposed method is useful to determine the density pattern distribution for the accurate measurement and crack detection.

Digital twin technology has been actively developed to monitor and assess the current state of actual structures. The digital twin changes the traditional observation method performed in the field to the real-time observation and detection system using virtual online model. Thus, this study designed a digital twin model for a beam and examined the feasibility of the digital twin for bridges. To reflect the current state of the bridge, model updating was performed according to the field test data to construct an analysis model. Based on the constructed bridge analysis model, the relationship between strain and displacement was used to represent a virtual model that behaves in the same way as the actual structure. The strain and displacement relationship was expressed as a matrix derived using an approximate analytical theory. Then, displacements can be obtained using the measured data obtained from strain sensors installed on the bridge. The coordinates of the obtained displacements are used to construct a virtual digital model for the bridge. For verification, a beam was fabricated and tested to evaluate the digital twin model constructed in this study. The displacements obtained from the strain and displacement relationship agrees well with the actual displacements of the beam. In addition, the displacements obtained from the virtual model was visualized at the locations of the strain sensor.

In this paper, the new measurement methodology of characteristics of the vibratory micro gyroscope using Quality factor and the resonant displacement was proposed. Because the Quality factor has a large error under the high Quality factor condition, it is difficult to analyze the characteristics of the vacuum packaged vibratory micro gyroscopes with the Quality factor. We analyzed mechanical characteristics of gyroscope with the value of Quality factor. We described measurement errors of mechanical characteristics of micro gyroscopes. The measured value of Quality factor is 47532 and error range of Quality factor is from -29.8 % to 73.9 %. The value of resonant displacement is 3.4${\mu}m$ and the measurement error is 2.9 %. From the result of Quality factor degradation and resonant displacement degradation, 1698 days and 1503 days were estimated as Time To Failure (TTF), respectively. The range of estimation error of Quality factor degradation and resonant displacement degradation is calculated from 1246 days to 1832 days and from 1456 days to 1537 days, respectively. We can analyze the characteristics of the vibratory gyroscope using the quality factor when the Quality factor is smaller than 10,000. Also we can analyze that using the resonant displacement when the Quality factor is larger than 10,000.
