  • 계절에 따른 토양공극의 수리학적 변화를 파악하기 위해서 설마천 유역의 범륜사 독립사면과 광릉 원두부 소유역의 독립사면을 대상으로 장력침투실험을 실시하였다. 토양수분 확보에 신뢰를 받기위해서 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)및 현장에서 토양의 불포화 투수계수 측정이 가능한 장력침투계(Tension infiltrometer)를 이용하였다. 계절에 따른 자료수집을 위해서 2008년 3월 20일 부터 약 6주간격으로 10월 29일까지 5회에서 6회 토양수분 자료 및 토양장력침투 자료를 획득하였다. 획득한 자료를 이용하여 포화 및 불포화 수리전도도, 대공극 유효흐름분율(macropore flow), 대공극 유효부피분율을(effective macroporosity) 나타내었다. 분기별로 자료분석 결과 계절별 특성이 나타남을 알 수 있다. 수리전도도는 3월, 5월, 10월은 유사한 반면 6월과 7월 그리고 9월은 상대적으로 높았다. 이는 여름철에 공극 발달이 활발하다는 것을 의미한다. 선행토양수분은 수리전도도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대공극의 발달은 삼림과 같은 복잡 경관에서는 강우사상에 따른 토양수분의 공간 분포 및 이송, 유출과정이 물순환에 영향을 미친다. 지형분석을 통한 공극의 흐름특성과 토양수분 유의성에 대하여 논의하였고, 대공극 변화에 밀접한 관계가 있는 식생과 그밖에 계절적으로 발달을 일으키는 요인을 모색 하였다. 본 연구는 계절에 따라 변하는 수리전도도를 기초로 하여 불포화대에서 토양공극의 수리학적 변화와 시공간적으로 침투흐름에 얼마나 영향을 주는가를 보여준다.

  • Since power and control cables have narrow bandwidth due to their loss at high frequencies, it is difficult to detect the weak fault using conventional reflectometry. It is because the reflected wave caused by the weak fault is overlapped and hidden by the ripple of the strong reflected wave from the end of the cable. This paper proves that the reflected wave from the weak fault can be considered to be linearly superposed on the strong reflected wave from the end of the cable based on the transmission line theory. Then, the weak fault point is experimentally diagnosed using the difference between reflection coefficients before and after the fault generation.

  • This paper presents an application of the TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) to the monitoring of the deformation of rock mass with grouted coaxial cables through laboratory tests. The grouted cable can easily deform together with the rock mass movements, and the deformed cable loses its original capacitance and the reflected waveform produced along the deformed cable consequently represents a change of voltage pulse. Therefore, it is possible to monitor the deformation of rock mass by measuring the changes in these reflection signatures. Shear test of the cemented mortar containing a specimen of coaxial cable showed that the shear deformation correlated linearly with the reflection coefficient, so the TDR was effective to monitor the displacement of the rock mass. Bending test were carried out in order to determine the influence of the crooked cables on the monitoring of rock mass movements. Controlled cirmping and shearing test upon a cable of 50 m long, 12.7 mm diameter showed not only the fact that the reflection amplitudes decreased as the cable length increased but also the proper crimping depth, width and interval between two adjacent crimps. Two coaxial cables-one 100 m long and other 175m long-were installed and grouted into the separate boreholes drilled in a sedimentary formation. The behavior of the cable was monitored with metallic TDR cable tester to measure rock mass deformation based on the interpretative techniques developed through laboratory tests.

  • This study measured the change of media properties using Time domain Reflectometry (TDR) and Tensionmeter (TM) to measure volumetric water content of soil affecting in land subsidence and pollutant diffusion under saturation/unsaturated condition by water-level fluctuations. Also, actual water content compared their changes aspect by dry oven test for quantitative determinations of these measured values. In the case of TM, initial unsaturated condition confirmed that range in dimension of each other different according to their establishment depth, but measured values of TM can know that is shown measured value in almost similar measuring range under drain condition after the first injection. Also, the results of TDR showed that can measure enough change of volumetric water content in saturation/unsaturated condition by water-level fluctuations. Therefore, we are judged that TDR measurement equipment is very effective to measure the variations of volumetric water content and water-level being caused in groundwater level fluctuations.

  • Using time domain reflectometry, the complex dielectric spectra between 10 MHz to 20 GHz has been measured in the whole composition range at 10, 20, 30 and $40^{\circ}C$ for the binary mixtures of ethylene glycol and dimethyl sulfoxide. For all the mixtures, only one dielectric loss peak was observed in this frequency range. The relaxation in these mixtures can be described by a single relaxation time using the Debye model. A systematic variation is observed in dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_0$) and relaxation time (${\tau}$). The excess permittivity (${\varepsilon}^E$), excess inverse relaxation time $(1/{\tau})^E$, Kirkwood correlation factor (g) and thermodynamic parameters viz. enthalpy of activation (${\Delta}H$) and Gibbs free energy of activation (${\Delta}G$) have been determined, to confirm the formation of hydrogen bonded homogeneous and heterogeneous cooperative domains, the dynamics of solute - solute interaction and the hindrance to molecular rotation in the hydrogen bonded glass forming ethylene glycol - dimethyl sulphoxide system.

  • In this paper, the multi-point hydrogen detection system based on the combination of the hetero-core optical fiber SPR hydrogen tip sensor and interrogator by pseudorandom noise (PN) code correlation reflectometry has been developed. In a light intensity-based experiment with an LED operating at 850 nm, it has been presented that a transmitted loss change of 0.32dB was induced with a response time of 25 s for 4% $H_2$ in $N_2$ in the case of the 25-nm Au, 60-nm $Ta_2O_5$, and 5-nm Pd multi-layers film. The proposed sensor characteristic shows excellent reproducibility in terms of loss level and time response for the in- and out- $H_2$ action. In addition, in the experiment for multi-point hydrogen detection, all sensors show the real-time response for 4% hydrogen adding with reproducible working. As a result, the real-time multi-point hydrogen detection could be realized by means of the combination of interrogating system and hetero-core optical fiber SPR hydrogen tip sensors.

  • A detection technique is studied to determine the location and the weight of an intruder into infrastructure using fiber optic ROTDR (Rayleigh optical time domain reflectometry) sensor. Fiber optic sensing plates buried in sand are prepared to measure the intruder effects. The signal of ROTDR was analyzed to confirm the detection performance. The constructed ROTDR system could be used up to 12km at the pulse width of 30ns. The location error was less than 3m and the weight could be detected into three levels of grade, such as 20kgf, 40kgf and 60kgf.

  • Time Domain Reflectometry with multiplex system has been installed to configure the spatial and temporal characteristics of soil moisture in a mountainous hillslope. An intensive surveying was performed to build a refined digital elevation model and flow determination algorithms with inverse surveying have been applied to establish an efficient soil monitoring system. Steady state wetness index, quasi-dynamic wetness index and fully dynamic wetness index have been calculated. Continuous monitoring of soil moisture data were analyized with wetness indices. Limitations and hydrological interpretations of this approach have beer discussed.

  • In this paper, we analyzed the frequency characteristics and the crosstalk of the adjacent parallel lines and the crossed lines in high-speed packaging interconnections by using the three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3D FDTD) method. To analyze the actual crosstalk phenomena in the transmission of the high-speed digital sgnal, the step pulse with fast rise time was used for the source excitation signal instead of using the Gaussian pulse that is generally used in FDTD. To veify the theoretical resutls, the experimental interconnection lines that were fabricated on the Duroid substrate($\varepsilon_{r}$=2.33, h=0.787 [mm]) were tested by TDR(time domain reflectometry). The results show good agreement between the analyzed results and the tested outcomes.
