In this Paper, a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor system is described and FBGs are well-suited for long term and extremely severe experiments, where traditional strain gauges fail. In the system. a reflect wave-length measurement method which employs a tunable light source to find out the center wave-length of FBG sensor is used. We apply the FBG system to nuclear energy Power Plant for structural integrity test to measure the displacement of the structure under designed pressure and to check the elasticity of the structure by measuring the residual strain. The system works very well and it is expected that it can be used for a real-time strain, temperature and vibration detector of smart structure.

샌드위치 구조물의 응용된 형태인 스마트 스킨 구조물을 ABAQUS로 유탄요소 해석하였다. 심재로 쓰이는 하니컴은 일반적으로 두께 방향 강성 및 전단 강성만 제작회사에 의하여 제공된다. 이를 바탕으로 하니컴 재료의 물성을 추정하여 다른 방향의 제공되지 않는 물성을 계산하였고, 이를 유탄요소 해석시 물성 자료로 적용하였다. 또한, 스마트 스킨 구조물의 좌굴 및 3점 굽힘 거동을 유한요소 해석하였으며, 기존의 실험결과 및 이론값과 비교 분석하였다. 비교적 결과가 잘 일치하였다. 본 연구를 통하여서 하니컴의 물성을 상용 패키지에 적용하는 방법 및 타당한 근거를 제시하였고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 스마트 스킨 구조물을 상용패키지로 유한요소 해석시 지침을 제시할 수 있다

The present study analyzed free vibration of the three-layered micro annular/circular plate which its core and face sheets are made of saturated porous materials and FG-CNTRCs, respectively. The structure is subjected to magneto-electric fields and magneto-electro-mechanical pre loads. Mechanical properties of the porous core and also FG-CNTRC face sheets are varied through the thickness direction. Using dynamic Hamilton's principle, the motion equations based on MCS and FSD theories are derived and solved via GDQ as an efficient numerical method. Effect of different parameters such as pores distributions, porosity coefficient, pores compressibility, CNTs distribution, elastic foundation, multi-physical pre loads, small scale parameter and aspect ratio of the plate are investigated. The findings of this study can be useful for designing smart structures such as sensor and actuator.

The work presented in this paper includes material characterisation and an investigation of suitability in seismic dampers for two commercially available NiTi-alloys, along with a numerical analysis of a new damper system employing composite NiTi-wires. Numerical simulations of the new damper system are conducted, using Brinson's one-dimensional constitutive model for shape memory alloys, with emphasis on the system's energy dissipation capabilities. The two alloys tested showed some unwanted residual strain at temperatures higher than $A_f$, possibly due to stress concentrations near inclusions in the material. These findings show that the alloys are not ideal, but may be employed in a seismic damper if precautions are made. The numerical investigations indicate that using composite NiTi-wires in a seismic damper enhances the energy dissipation capabilities for a wider working temperature range.

The optimal design of structural composite materials is a research topic that attracts the attention of lots researchers. For many more thirty years, there has been increasing interest in the applications in all kinds of topics, which means taking advantage of fuzzy set theory, fuzzy analysis, and fuzzy control for designing high-performance and efficient structural systems is a fundamental concern for engineers, and many applications require the use of a systems approach to combine structural and active control systems. Therefore, an intelligent method can be designed based on the mitigation method, and by establishing the stable of the closed-loop fuzzy mitigation system, the behavior of the closed-loop fuzzy mitigation system can be accurately predicted. In this article, the intelligent algorithm and optimum design of fuzzy theory for structural control has been provided and demonstrated effective and efficient in practical engineering issues.

금속복합재료에서는 강화재와 기지재 사이의 열팽창계수 차이에 의해 복합재료 내부에 잔류응력이 남아있어 복합재료 전체의 강도저하를 가져온다. 본 연구에서는 TiNi 형상기억합금을 강화재료로써 이러한 잔류응력 문제를 해결하기 위하여 이용하였다. TiNi 형상기억합금은 형상기억효과를 이용하여 복합재료의 잔류응력문제를 해결할 뿐만 아니라 복합재료의 인장강도를 증가시키는 역할을 한다. 핫프레스 방법에 의해 제작된 형상기억복합재료의 강도증가를 위하여 냉간압연을 실시하여 실험을 실시하였다. 이와 같이 제작된 형상기억복합재료의 저온에서의 미시적 손상거동을 평가하기 위하여 음향방출기법을 이용하였다. 또한 열충격을 받은 시험편의 손상에 대한 연구도 이루어졌다.

Vacuum Hot Pressing을 이용하여 제조한 TiNi형상기억섬유 강화 6061 AI기지 복합재료를 제조하고 미세조직 및 기계적 특성 등을 연구하였다. 제조된 복합재의 항복응력은 예비변형량, 섬유체적율 및 열처리에 따라 증가하였다. 복합재의 지적특성은 예비변형이 가하여진 후 재가열되었을 때 기지 내 TiNi 섬유의 형상기억효과에 의한 압축잔류응력 발생에 기인된다. 미세조직 관찰 섬유와 기지 사이에는 AI$_{3}$Ti및 AI$_{3}$Ni의 금속간화합물층이 관찰되었다. 또한 시험온도 증가와 더불어 TiNi섬유강화된 복합재의 유동강도는 높은 값을 나타내었다.

In this study, mercury vapor adsorption behaviors for some kinds of porous materials having various pore structures were investigated. The specific surface area and pore structures were studied by BET and D-R plot methods from $N_2$/77 K adsorption isotherms. It was found that the micropore materials (activated carbons, ACs) showed the highest mercury adsorption capacity. In a comparative study of mesoporous materials (SBA-15 and MCM-41), the adsorption capacity of the SBA-15 was higher than that of MCM-41. From the pore structure analysis, it was found that SBA-15 has a higher micropore fraction compared to MCM-41. This result indicates that the mercury vapor adsorptions can be determined by two factors. The first factor is the specific surface area of the adsorbent, and the second is the micropore fraction when the specific surface areas of the adsorbent are similar.

Piezoelectric materials have been widely used in ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT). PZT ceramics can be used to receive and generate surface acoustic waves. It is a common application to attach PZT transducers to the surface of structures for detecting cracks in nondestructive testing. However, not until recently have piezoelectric polymers attracted more and more attention to be the material for interdigitated (IDT) surface and guided-wave transducers. In this paper, an interdigitated gold-on-polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) transducer for actuating and sensing Lamb waves has been introduced. A specific etching technology is employed for making the surface electrodes into a certain finger pattern, the spacings of which yield different single mode responses of Lamb waves. Experiments have been performed on steel and carbon fiber composite plates. Results from PVDF IDT sensors have been compared with those from PZT transducers for verification.

We investigated the change of mechanical properties for TiNi shape memory alloy by heat treatment. 6061Al matrix composites with TiNi shape memory alloy as reinforcement were fabricated by vacuum casting. TiNi alloy has the maximum tensile strength at 673K treated and there is no change of tensile strength and hardness at 448K treated. The composites, prepared by vacuum casting, showed good interface bonding by vacuum casting. It was about 3$\mu\textrm{m}$ of thickness of the diffusion layer. Tensile strength of the composite was in higher than that of 6061Al alloy as increased value of about 70MPa at room temperature and about 110MPa at 363K. We thought that the increase of the tensile strength at 363K was due to reverse transformation of the TiNi shape memory alloy.
