The existing piezoelectric spherical transducers with fixed prescribed dynamic characteristics limit their application in scenarios with multi-frequency or frequency variation requirement. To address this issue, this work proposes an improved design of piezoelectric spherical transducers using the resistance tuning method. Two piezoceramic shells are the functional elements with one for actuation and the other for tuning through the variation of load resistance. The theoretical model of the proposed design is given based on our previous work. The effects of the resistance, the middle surface radius and the thickness of the epoxy adhesive layer on the dynamic characteristics of the transducer are explored by numerical analysis. The numerical results show that the multi-frequency characteristics of the transducer can be obtained by tuning the resistance, and its electromechanical coupling coefficient can be optimized by a matching resistance. The proposed design and derived theoretical solution are validated by comparing with the literature given special examples as well as an experimental study. The present study demonstrates the feasibility of using the proposed design to realize the multi-frequency characteristics, which is helpful to improve the performance of piezoelectric spherical transducers used in underwater acoustic detection, hydrophones, and the spherical smart aggregate (SSA) used in civil structural health monitoring, enhancing their operation at the multiple working frequencies to meet different application requirements.

Satellite observed brightness temperature simulation using a radiative transfer model (here after, RTM) is useful for various fields, for example sensor design and channel selection by using theoretically calculated radiance data, development of satellite data processing algorithm and algorithm parameter determination before launch. This study is focused on elaborating the simulation procedure, and analyzing of difference between observed and modelled clear sky brightness temperatures. For the CMDPS (COMS Meteorological Data Processing System) development, the simulated clear sky brightness temperatures are used to determine whether the corresponding pixels are cloud-contaminated in cloud mask algorithm as a reference data. Also it provides important information for calibrating satellite observed radiances. Meanwhile, simulated brightness temperatures of COMS channels plan to be used for assessing the CMDPS performance test. For these applications, the RTM requires fast calculation and high accuracy. The simulated clear sky brightness temperatures are compared with those of MTSAT-1R observation to assess the model performance and the quality of the observation. The results show that there is good agreement in the ocean mostly, while in the land disagreement is partially found due to surface characteristics such as land surface temperature, surface vegetation, terrain effect, and so on.

LADAR systems can rapidly acquire 3D point clouds by sampling the target surfaces using laser pulses. Such point clouds are widely used for diverse applications such as DSM/DTM generation, forest biomass estimation, target detection, wire avoidance and so on. Many kinds of LADAR systems have been developed with their respective purposes and applications. Particularly, Geiger mode imaging LADAR systems are increasingly utilized since they are energy efficient thank to extremely sensitive detectors incorporated into the systems. The purpose of this research is the performance assessment of a Geiger mode imaging LADAR system based on simulation with the real system parameters. We thus developed a simulation method of such a LADAR system by modeling its geometric, radiometric, optic and electronic aspects. Based on the simulation, we performed the performance assessment of a newly designed system to derive the outlier ratio and false alarm rate expected during its operation in almost real environment with reasonable system parameters. The proposed simulation and performance assessment method will be effectively utilized for system design and optimization, and test data generation.

최근에, 서비스용 지능형 로봇이 공공기관에서 방문객들에게 건물을 안내하고 정보를 제공하는데 사용되어지고 있다. 이 로봇은 지면 위치 인식 방식의 센서를 가지며 마름모형태의 네 바퀴로 스스로를 지탱한다. 로봇의 작동은 구동부분과 내부 구조가 하나의 결합된 몸체로 구성되어 있기 때문에 고르지 못한 장소에서는 제한을 받는다. 이와 같은 상태가 지속되면 로봇의 정밀한 부분에서 이상 징후가 발견 될 것이고, 각각의 연결 부위가 약화 될 것이다. 따라서 로봇의 동역학 모델이 만들어 졌고, 서스펜션과 함께 구동 특성들을 위한 모의실험도 이루어 졌다. 이 서스펜션 시스템은 로봇의 각 부분에 미치는 충격들을 줄이는데 최적화 되었다.

클러스터된 이기종 무선 센서 네트워크는 서로 다른 목적을 가지는 노드들이 계층적 구조를 이루어 링크를 구성하는 네트워크를 의미한다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 한정적인 메모리나 배터리 용량 내에서 운용되는 경우가 많기 때문에 이러한 자원을 효율적으로 관리해야만 네트워크의 수명, 커버리지, 연결성 등의 성능을 길게 유지할 수 있다. 예를 들어 특정 센서들의 부근에서 관심을 가지는 이벤트가 빈번하게 발생하여 계측되는 데이터가 증가하게 되면, 특정 클러스터 그룹의 클러스터 헤드로 전송되는 데이터의 양도 동시에 기하급수적으로 증가하게 된다. 특히 해당 클러스터 헤드에서 전송하는 데이터양보다 센서들로부터 수신하는 데이터양이 많을 경우나 링크가 끊어져 데이터 전송이 불가능한 경우 메모리 총 용량을 초과하는 데이터 혼잡 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 데이터 혼잡 문제를 해결하기 위해 모바일 싱크로서 드론을 이용한다. 네트워크, 센서 노드, 클러스터 헤드에 대한 모델링 후 데이터 혼잡도를 계산하기 위한 비용 함수와 혼잡 인디케이터를 정의한다. 이를 바탕으로 데이터 혼잡 지도 인덱스를 계산하여 데이터 혼잡 지도를 작성 후 지도를 기반으로 드론을 최적의 위치에 배치한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 드론의 배치에 따른 네트워크의 혼잡도가 감소하는 양상을 다양한 접근을 통해 보여준다. 제어 변수 α를 이용하여 배치되는 드론 수에 따른 데이터 혼잡도의 변화, 요구하는 데이터 혼잡도를 만족시키기 위한 통신 범위와 드론 수와의 관계를 알아본다. 또한 기존 연구와의 오버플로우 관점에서 비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘이 최소 20 %의 향상이 있음을 보여준다.

This paper summarises theoretical and experimental work on the feedback control of sound radiation from honeycomb panels using piezoceramic actuators. It is motivated by the problem of sound transmission in aircraft, specifically the active control of trim panels. Trim panels are generally honeycomb structures designed to meet the design requirement of low weight and high stiffness. They are resiliently-mounted to the fuselage for the passive reduction of noise transmission. Local coupling of the closely-spaced sensor and actuator was observed experimentally and modelled using a single degree of freedom system. The effect of the local coupling was to roll-off the response between the actuator and sensor at high frequencies, so that a feedback control system can have high gain margins. Unfortunately, only relatively poor global performance is then achieved because of localisation of reduction around the actuator. This localisation prompts the investigation of a multichannel active control system. Globalised reduction was predicted using a model of 12 channel direct velocity feedback control. The multichannel system, however, does not appear to yield a significant improvement in the performance because of decreased gain margin.

This paper summarizes theoretical work on the multichannel decentralized feedback control of sound radiation from aircraft trim panels using piezoceramic actuators. The aircraft trim panels are generally honeycomb structures designed to meet the design requirement of low weight and high stiffness. They are resiliently-mounted to the fuselage for the passive reduction of noise transmission. It is motivated by the localization of reduction in vibration of single channel active trim panels. 12-channel decentralized feedback control systems are investigated in terms of the reduction of noise and vibration for three configurations of sensor actuator pairs. Local coupling of the closely-spaced sensor and actuator pairs was modeled using single degree of freedom systems. The multichannel control system is characterized using the state-space model. For the stability point of view, the relative stability or robustness is evaluated by comparing the real part of eigenvalues of the system matrix for the three configurations. The control performance is also evaluated and compared for the three configurations. It is found that the multichannel system can lead to the globalization of the reduction in vibration and radiated noise. It does not appear to yield a significant improvement in the vibration because of decreased gain margin. However, the reduction in the radiated noise is remarkably improved due to the variation of the vibration pattern with the actuation configurations.

In this research, an obstacle avoidance method is proposed. The common usage of a robot is indoor and the obstacles to the indoor robot is studied. The accurate detection of direction after overcoming the obstacles is necessary for performance of autonomous navigation and mission project. The sensors such as Laser, Ultrasound, PSD can be used to measure the obstacles. In this research, a PSD sensor is used to detect obstacles. It detects the height and width of obstacles located on the floor. Before measuring the obstacles, a calibration of the sensor was done and it produced a better accuracy. We have plotted an error graph using data obtained from the repeated experiments. The graph is fitted to a polynomial curve. The polynomial equation is used for the robot navigation. And in this research, a model of the error of the direction of the robot after overcoming obstacles was obtained also. The prototype of the obstacle and the error of the direction after overcoming the obstacles are modelled using a neural networks. The input of the neural network composed with the height of the obstacles, the speed of robot, the direction of wheels and the error of the direction. To implement the suggested algorithm, we set up a robot which is operated by a notebook computer. Experiment showed the suggested algorithm performed well.

Recently, a high strength concrete(HSC) in excess of 80 MPa is popular to use in the domestic construction field. But there is no design standard of high strength concrete. It is reason why a study about structural behaviors of thin walls is required. In this paper, the accurate Finite Element Method as a virtual test is suggested considering material properties, which are concrete and steel, and the experimental fractural model suggested by Kupfer. It is conducted the comparison evaluation of the ultimate failure loads, lateral-displacements and crack propagation patterns between the results of experimental approach, which were carried on Saheb's test for normal strength concrete and Lee's test for high strength concrete. Therefore it is suggested to use the accurate virtual simulation test method and Ubiquitous Sensor Network(USN) by Finite Element Method for Internet of Things(IoT).
