  • Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are unique materials with a paramount potential for various applications in bridges. The novelty of this material lies in its ability to undergo large deformations and return to its undeformed shape through stress removal (superelasticity) or heating (shape memory effect). In particular, Ni-Ti alloys have distinct thermomechanical properties including superelasticity, shape memory effect, and hysteretic damping. SMA along with sensing devices can be effectively used to construct smart Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges that can detect and repair damage, and adapt to changes in the loading conditions. SMA can also be used to retrofit existing deficient bridges. This includes the use of external post-tensioning, dampers, isolators and/or restrainers. This paper critically examines the fundamental characteristics of SMA and available sensing devices emphasizing the factors that control their properties. Existing SMA models are discussed and the application of one of the models to analyze a bridge pier is presented. SMA applications in the construction of smart bridge structures are discussed. Future trends and methods to achieve smart bridges are also proposed.

  • 센서는 특정 물질을 '감지'하는 단순한 '검출기'로부터 시작되었지만, 수십 나노미터 이하 크기의 신소재, 마이크로미터 이하 크기를 가공하는 반도체 제조공정기술과 같은 나노/마이크로 공학이 접목됨으로써 데이터 처리, 통신 등의 신호처리 기능이 내장된 초소형 스마트 센서로 발전되고 있다. 최근 단순 통화 기능에 터치 가속도 이미지 센서, 인터넷 접속, 사용자에 의한 손쉬운 '앱' 소프트웨어 추가 기능 등이 합쳐진 스마트 폰의 폭발적인 보급으로 인하여 국내외 스마트 센서 산업의 시장이 급속히 확대 중이다. 또한 무인 운전 자동차, 웨어러블 전자기기, 지능형 로봇의 보급이 향후 본격화된다면, 다양한 스마트 센서의 개발 및 산업화가 더욱 많이 필요할 것으로 예상된다.

  • Recently, the whole world is facing an unprecedented moment of opportunity, so-called The Fourth Industrial Revolution. As emphasized in the World Economic Forum held in January of 2016 at Davos, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is not merely a changes of technological devices. The fundamental of the revolution is new, innovative, and visionary business models which change the whole systems dramatically. One of the greatest challenges is to feed an expected population of 9 billion by 2050 in a impactful way. The system should be sustainable as well as beneficial in improving the lives of people in the food chain along with the ecological health of environment. The technological advances of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are expected to improve our food system. The smart farm technology such as precision planting and irrigation techniques will improve the yields of food materials. The smart food transportation and logistics systems will substantially improve the safety and human nutrition. The adaptation the Fourth Industrial Revolution technology will induce the smart supply chains, smart production, and smart products in food industry due to its flexibility and standardization. This will lead the manufactures to adapt to customers' changing product specifications and traceable services in a timely manner.

  • 수 나노미터의 두께의 단일 또는 여러 층으로 구성된 2차원 소재는 전기전도성, 유연성, 광학적 투명성 등의 고유한 특성으로 많은 연구 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 이 중 Electronic skin (E-Skin)이나 Smart Textile 과 같은 반복적인 기계적 동작이 수반될 수 있다. 또한, 온도, 습도, 압력과 같은 외부적 요인에 노출이 되는 경우가 빈번하다. 이 때, 소자의 내구성과 수명 저하를 유발하기 때문에 자가 치유 특성이 내포된 소자를 제작하기 위한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 최근 다양한 2차원 소재 중 자가 치유 기능을 구현할 수 있는 Ti3Ci2Tix MXene 기반 전극의 복합 소재의 연구 결과가 학계의 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Ti3Ci2Tix MXene의 다양한 합성 방법 및 특성에 대해 소개한 후, Ti3Ci2Tix MXene 전극 기반의 자가 치유 적용 기술 사례에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

  • This is a review paper on mathematical modeling of actively controlled piezo smart structures. Paper has four sections to discuss the techniques to: (i) write the equations of motion (ii) implement sensor-actuator design (iii) model real life environmental effects and, (iv) control structural vibrations. In section (i), methods of writing equations of motion using equilibrium relations, Hamilton's principle, finite element technique and modal testing are discussed. In section (ii), self-sensing actuators, extension-bending actuators, shear actuators and modal sensors/actuators are discussed. In section (iii), modeling of thermal, hygro and other non-linear effects is discussed. Finally in section (iv), various vibration control techniques and useful software are mentioned. This review has two objectives: (i) practicing engineers can pick the most suitable philosophy for their end application and, (ii) researchers can come to know how the field has evolved, how it can be extended to real life structures and what the potential gaps in the literature are.

  • The promise of biomimetic smart structures that can function as sensors and actuators in biomedicine is enormous. Technological development in the field of stimuli-responsive shape memory polymers have opened up a new avenue of applications for polymer-based synthetic actuators. Such synthetic actuators mimic various attributes of living organisms including responsiveness to stimuli, shape memory, selectivity, motility, and organization. This article briefly reviews various stimuli-responsive shape memory polymers and their application as bioactuators. Although the technological advancements have prototyped the potential applications of these smart materials, their widespread commercialization depends on many factors such as sensitivity, versatility, moldability, robustness, and cost.
