An assesment technique for the quantitative evaluation of tunnel safety during tunnel excavation was newly proposed in this study using displacement measurements. First of all, field measurement guidelines used at tunnel construction sites in Korea and other countries were investigated. It was found out that the criteria of the guidelines were not clear and varied depending on the construction sites. The practical use of field measurement data for the evaluation of tunnel safety was very limited due to uncertainties of the guidelines related to the interpretation of measured data during the excavation. Critical strain concept is introduced in this study for the assesment of tunnel safety during the tunnel excavation. Moreover, the characteristics of tunnel displacements caused by the tunnel excavation were investigated in detail in order to investigate the practical application of the critical strain concept. The total tunnel displacements can be subdivided into three parts: displacements occurring ahead of tunnel face, displacements occurring prior to measurements, and displacements occurring after the installation of instruments. The characteristic of each portion of displacements is analysed in this study. Finally, a general method on the use of the displacement measurement data for the critical strain concept was suggested in the concrete manner, considering the field measurement practice in Korea.

A new BWIM(bridge weigh-in-motion) algorithm using both measured strain and acceleration data is proposed. To consider the effects of bridge vibration on the estimation of moving loads, the dynamic governing equation is applied with the known stiffness and mass properties but damping is ignored. Dynamic displacements are computed indirectly from the measured strains using the beam theory and accelerations are measured directly by accelerometers. To convert a unit moving load to its equivalent nodal force, a transformation matrix is determined. The incompleteness in the measured responses is considered in developing the algorithm. To examine the proposed BWIM algorithm, simulation studies, laboratory experiments and field tests were carried. In the simulation study, effects of measurement noise and estimation error in the vehicle speed on the results were investigated.

The number of measured degrees of freedom for detecting the damage of any structures is usually less than the number of model degrees of freedom. It is necessary to expand the measured data to full set of model degrees of freedom for updating modal data. This study presents the expansion methods to estimate all static displacements and dynamic modal data of finite element model from the measured data. The static and dynamic methods are derived by minimizing the variation of the potential energy and the Gauss's function, respectively. The applications illustrate the validity of the proposed methods. It is observed that the numerical results obtained by the static approach correspond with the Guyan condensation method and the derived static and dynamic approaches provide the fundamental idea for damage detection.

For vacuum seated panel, stresses and displacements in the glass plate were calculated. The geometric variables for our experiment were the thickness of glass plate, the size of panel and the width of sealing line. The fracture behaviors and displacements of its under the vacuum were measured. From the measurement of strains and fracture, it was considered that the maximum stress acted at the middle of the sides of the panel. The stresses and displacement distribution of manufactured panels were greatly dependent on the width of the sealing line in the panel. The measured values are more similar to the values which were calculated from the condition of built-in edge as the width of the sealing line is larger. The measured displacement of the panel, made of 3mm thick glass plate, with size of $80\Times120\textrm{mm}^2$ and 20mm sealing line was $57\mu\textrm{m}$. This value is similar to calculated value, $54\mu\textrm{m}$, from built- in edge condition in the finite element method.

A tunnel behavior predicted in the investigation and design stage is often different from its actual behavior due to mainly the complexity of ground conditions. In a tunnel construction, therefore, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the tunnel by predicting the behaviors of the ground and the supports through observations and measurements, and modifying immediately excavation and reinforcing methods when necessary. To do so, it is important to be able to predict the final tunnel behavior based on the initial tunnel behavior as early as possible. In this study, the correlations were obtained between the initial and the final convergence by analyzing statistically the convergence measurement data, collected from two domestic road tunnels under construction using NATM. In order to estimate the unknown displacements, occurred during the period between the excavation and the first measurement, two methods were used - one is the method by means of regression analysis using a modified exponential function and the other the method by a simple linear regression analysis using the data measured within the distance from tunnel face equal to the tunnel diameter (D). Finally, the relationships were obtained between the initial and final convergence, including the non-measured displacements estimated from the two different methods, by performing linear regression analyses. The regression analysis results showed that there are clear linear relationships between the initial and final convegence and the difference between the two linear regression equations was not that large for when using the exponential function and the simple linear function to estimate the non-measured displacements.

ATM(Automated-Teller Machine) is a maching that receives and pays money directly. The gate module of an ATM separates forgeries from bills and changes the transfer direction of bills. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of the gate was analyzed numerically and experimentally. The moment of inertia of the gate lever, the suction force of the solenoid and the spring force were measured respectively. And the displacements of the plunger, the vibration of the bracket, the input voltage and current were measured experimentally. The measured dynamic behaviors were simulated numerically using SAMCEF program, which can accommodate the kinematics and vibrations of flexible bodies. Through the analysis, the design factors were found to make a fast and reliable new ATM machine.

This paper presents the inverse dynamic analysis of the wheel loader manipulator based on the experimental data. A three dimensional rigid multi-body model of the wheel loader manipulator was built up. The inverse dynamic analysis for the typical operation mode was carried out by the ADAMS program. In order to verify the analysis result with the measured one, the hydraulic pressure and displacements of the cylinders were measured and the inverse dynamic analysis was carried out using experimental data. From the results of the analysis and measurement, it was concluded that the computational driving force showed good agreement with the measured one.
