Historically, industrial condition monitoring has been performed by costly hard-wired sensors or infrequent checks by maintenance personnel equipped with hand held monitoring equipment. Self- powered wireless condition monitoring systems provides on-line monitoring of critical plant and machinery providing major operating cost benefits. A vibration energy harvester(VEH) is a device that converts kinetic energy occurred by machine vibration into useable electrical energy. Using VEHs to power wireless monitoring systems can yield significant benefits: increased reliability, lower life time costs and no battery disposal issues, etc. This paper proposes the novel prototype design and manufacturing of a VEH that can eliminate the effect by failed batteries.

An analysis of the free vibration for the metal-piezoceramic composite thin plates is described. The purpose of this study is to develop a equivalent method for the free vibration analysis of metal-piezoceramic composite thin plates which are not symmetrically about the adhered layer and the piezoelectric effect. In order to confirm the validity of the vibration analysis, double Fourier sine series is used as a modal displacement function of a metal-piezoceramic composite thin plate and applied to the free vibration analysis of the plate under various boundary conditions.

There are some previous reports that some animals such as rats and birds move in a large group and act abnormally to avoid the large earthquake. This study is to experimentally testify what relations exist between the anomalous animal behavior and electric field effect, which is reported due to the piezoelectric effects in a basement rock before earthquake occurrences. When electric field is applied to the whole bottom of the cage, they show nervous behaviors such as grooming, washing their faces, standing on legs or running around in panic to avoid the electric field. When more strong electric field is applied, they jump with shrieking and mount on the electric line. The rat shows more sensitive anomalous behavior than the bird. Even though the current to the experimental birds and rats is just a few $\mu$A, they react in various ways. The anomalous animal behaviors under the small ground electric field may have some relations to the actual phenomena before great earthquake. This kind of study is quite worthy for the understanding of earthquake precursors.

As the rapid development of the electronics, the demand for portable electronics and wireless sensors is growing faster, also with the increased needs of one material which can power it automatically, and then power the electrical devices. The piezoelectric effect of the PVDF material can be used for this. So in this paper, PVDF multilayer films were made for this aim. Make the PVDF / DMAc solution in the 10% concentration; use the spin coater technique to make films with the optimum process parameters: the spin rate is 1260rpm; the spin time is 70s; the dry temperature is 100$^{\circ}C$; the dry time is 30mins. And also, for obtaining the higher $\beta$-phase crystallinity, put the Ca(NH3)2.4H2O into the PVDF / DMAc solution system.

This paper presents the In-process compensation to control cutter runout and improve the machined surface quality. Cutter runout compensation system consists of the micro-positioning servo system with piezoelectric actuator which is embeded in the sliding table to manipulate radial depth of cut in real-time. Cutting force feedback control was proposed in the angle domain based upon repetitive learning control strategy to eliminate chip load variation in end milling process. Micro-positioning control due to adaptive actuation force response improves the machined surface quality by compensation runout effect induced cutting force variation. This result will provide lots of information to build-up the preciswion machining technology.

The in-process detection of the tool wear is one of the most important technologies in completely auto- matic operation of machine tool. In this research, using the tools having flank wear, the dynamic compo- nent of cutting forces is considered to be available for identifying the cutting process. In order to investi- gate this relation in detail, the cutting forces in turning of workpiece made of aluminum were measured by dynamometer of piezoelectric type, and the dynamic components of cutting force were analyzed. The fre- quency analysis, probability density analysis and RMS analysis of the dynamic components were carried out independently. Through the experiments, the characteristics of the tool system have a large effect on the dynamic component of cutting forces. As a result, it is shown that the dynamic cutting force was able to detect flank wear accurately.

In this study, microstructural and electrical properties of (Pb)(La,Nd)$TiO_3$ cerramics were investigated as a function of CuO addition. Taking into consideration Tc of $325^{\circ}C$, dynamic range of 49dB( at the wafer form) and density of $7.71g/cm^{3}$, it can be concluded that the specimen S2 sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ is the best for the resonator application, Dynamic characteristics of energy-trapped 20MHz SMD type resonator as a function of internal dot size variation were also investigated. Dynamic range characteristics showed the highest value of 60.72dB at S2-4(dot size 1.13mm).

In this paper, using micro-stereolithography technology, I fabricated a liquid analyzer to measure ion concentration of a solution. Micro-stereolithography is a technology to fabricate 3-dimensional structure by applying laser beam on liquid photo-polymer. This technology makes it possible to do preassemble fabrication without any extra assembling step after the process. So, the liquid analyzer could be fabricated at very low cost with very simple process by micro-stereolithography technology. The liquid analyzer consists of a chamber for containing the solution, a pump using piezoelectric effect of PZT disk, a static mixer and a sensor for measuring ion concentration using Pt electrodes.

In this study, the ultrasonic motor which has hollowed cross type stator was designed, and the elastic body of ultrasonic motor was optimized by using a finite element analysis program(ANSYS 9.0). When the length of leg(L) of the elastic body was increased and the width of piezoceramics was decreased, the resonant frequency was increased and the displacement of contact point between the rotor and the stator was increased. However, when the length of the leg was over the 1/3 point of the width of ceramics, the displacement of the contact point was decreased, because the elastic buckle was generated in the leg.
