  • The effect of interface bonding strength on the recovery force of SMA wire reinforced polymer matrix composites was investigated by pullout test. Firstly, the recovery forces and transformation temperatures of various prestrained SMA wires were measured and 5% prestrained SMA wires were prepared for the reinforcements of composites. EPDM incorporated with 20vol% silicon carbide particles(SiCp) of 6, 12, $60{mutextrm{m}}$ size were used as matrix. Pullout test results showed that the interface bonding strength increased when the SiCp size decreased due to the increase of elastic modulus of matrix. Cyclic test of composites was performed through control of DC current at the constant displacement mode. The abrupt decrease of recovery force during cycle test at high current was occurred by thermal degradation of matrix. This was in good agreement with temperature related in the thermal degradation of matrix. The hysteresis of recovery force with respect to the temperature was compared between wire and composite and the hysterisis of composites was smaller than the wire due to less thermal conduction.

  • In this research, optical fiber sensors and shape memory alloys (SMA) were incorporated into sandwich panels for development of a smart honeycomb sandwich structure with damage detection and shape recovery functions. First, small-diameter fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were embedded in the adhesive layer between a CFRP face-sheet and an aluminum honeycomb core. From the change in the reflection spectrum of the FBG sensors, the debonding between the face-sheet and the core and the deformation of the face-sheet due to impact loading could be well detected. Then, the authors developed the SMA honeycomb core and bonded CFRP face-sheets to the core. When an impact load was applied to the panel, the cell walls of the core were buckled and the face-sheet was bent. However, after the panel was heated over the reverse transformation finish temperature of the SMA, the core buckling disappeared and the deflection of the face-sheet was relieved. Hence the bending stiffness of the panel could be recovered.

  • 가상 현실 네비게이션을 위한 전방향 트레드밀은 사용자가 걷거나 달리면서 물리적으로 고정된 공간 내에 사용자를 유지할 수 있도록 지면 모션을 시뮬레이션하는 장비이다. 이러한 트레드밀 시스템의 성능이나 안정성을 정량적으로 측정하거나 분석하기가 어렵기 때문에 이전의 연구에서는 주관적 설문 조사와 같은 정성적 분석 방법을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 인간의 보행 경로와 유사한 궤도를 따라 움직이는 무인 차량 시스템을 이용한 새로운 정량적 데이터 측정 방법을 제안한다. 무인 차량 시스템은 미리 정의 된 인간의 보행 동작을 시뮬레이션하고 트레드밀 시스템에 대한 제어 입력을 제공하며, 다축 가속 및 방향과 같은 차량의 동적 데이터를 측정 할 수 있다. 또한 이 데이터는 평상시의 정기 또는 다른 제어 알고리즘과의 비교를 수행할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 궤적 시뮬레이션 모듈, 데이터 수집 모듈, 성능 평가 모듈 등 전방향 트레드밀에 대한 정량 분석 방법의 설계 구조 및 초기구현 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

  • In this study, structural health monitoring (SHM) methods of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) were investigated using electrical resistance. The developed sensing technique monitored electrical resistance in accordance with the impact damage of a CFRP. The changes in electrical resistances with multiple electrode sets enabled SHM without extra sensors so that this technique can be called self-sensing. Moreover, this study proposed electrodes only at peripheral side of a structure to minimize the number of electrodes compared to those in an array which has square number of sensors as the sensing area increases. For the intensive investigation, electromechanical sensitivity in terms of electrode distance was analyzed and optimized under drop weight impact testing. Then, SHM methods with electrodes in an array and electrodes in peripheral edges were comparatively investigated. The developed methods successfully localized impact damages into 2D coordinates. Furthermore, damage severity can be shown with a damage map by calculating electrical resistance change ratio. Therefore, structural health self-sensing system using electrical resistance was successfully developed with the minimum number of electrodes.

  • Recently, hybrid and electric vehicles have been actively developed to replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. However, their vibrations and noise with complex spectra cause discomfort to drivers. To reduce the vibrations transmitted through primary excitation sources such as powertrains, structural changes have been introduced. However, the interference among different parts is a limitation. Thus, active mounting systems based on smart materials have been actively investigated to overcome these limitations. This study focuses on diminishing the source movement when a structure with two active mounting systems is excited to a single sinusoidal and a multi-frequency signal, which were investigated for source movement reduction. The overall structure was modeled based on the lumped parameter method. Active vibration control was implemented based on the modeled structure, and a multi-normalization least mean square (NLMS) algorithm was used to obtain the control input for the active mounting system. Furthermore, the performance of the NLMS algorithm was compared with that of the quantification method to demonstrate the performance of active vibration control. The results demonstrate that the vibration attenuation performance of the source component was improved.

  • An object in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is affected by many environmental conditions unlike earth's surface such as, Atomic oxygen (AO), Ultraviolet Radiation (UV), thermal cycling, High Vacuum and Micrometeoroids and Orbital Debris (MMOD) impacts. The effect of all these parameters have to be carefully considered when designing a space structure, as it could be very critical for a space mission. Polybenzimidazole (PBI) is a high performance thermoplastic polymer that could be a suitable material for space missions because of its excellent resistance to these environmental factors. A thin coating of PBI polymer on the carbon epoxy composite laminate (referred as CFRP) was found to improve the energy absorption capability of the laminate in event of a hypervelocity impact. However, the overall efficiency of the shield also depends on other factors like placement and orientation of the laminates, standoff distances and the number of shielding layers. This paper studies the effectiveness of using a PBI coating on the front bumper in a multi-shock shield design for enhanced hypervelocity impact resistance. A thin PBI coating of 43 micron was observed to improve the shielding efficiency of the CFRP laminate by 22.06% when exposed to LEO environment conditions in a simulation chamber. To study the effectiveness of PBI coating in a hypervelocity impact situation, experiments were conducted on the CFRP and the PBI coated CFRP laminates with projectile velocities between 2.2 to 3.2 km/s. It was observed that the mass loss of the CFRP laminates decreased 7% when coated by a thin layer of PBI. However, the study of mass loss and damage area on a witness plate showed CFRP case to have better shielding efficiency than PBI coated CFRP laminate case. Therefore, it is recommended that PBI coating on the front bumper is not so effective in improving the overall hypervelocity impact resistance of the space structure.

  • 중소기업 제조공장의 스마트팩토리 수준이 현재에는 기초 수준으로 창고를 관리하기 위해 재고 입출입에 따른 정확한 재고량을 파악하는 시스템이 부족하다. 또한 근로자 수작업과 경험에 의한 생산방식으로 데이터 손실로 정확한 자재를 관리하기 어려운 상황이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 근로자의 재고 파악을 위한 수작업을 최소화하며 자동화를 향상시키기 위해 재고량 자동 수집을 진행한다. 본 논문에서는 IoT기반의 자율이동모듈을 이용한 스마트 창고관리 시스템으로 자율이동모듈이 창고를 이동하면서 재고 보관함의 데이터를 수집한다. 이는 해당 보관함의 자재들 파악하기 위해 카메라 모듈이 비전처리 방식 통해 재고보관함의 네임텍을 인지한다. 인지한 문자화 처리 결과가 일치할 때 센서에 의해 측정된 데이터가 서버로 전달되고 데이터를 처리하여 데이터베이스에 저장한다. 저장된 데이터는 관리자용 웹 기반 모니터링 환경에서 실시간 재고량을 파악할 수 있다. 이를 통해 수작업을 줄이고 자동화된 재고관리시스템의 효과를 기대한다.

  • Friction in a post-tensioning system has a significant effect on the distribution of the prestressing force of tendons in prestressed concrete structures. However, attempts to derive friction coefficients using conventional electrical resistance strain gauges do not usually lead to reliable results, mainly due to the damage of sensors and lead wires during the insertion of strands into the sheath and during tensioning. In order to overcome these drawbacks of the existing measurement system, the Smart Strand was developed in this study to accurately measure the strain and prestressing force along the strand. In the Smart Strand, the core wire of a 7-wire strand is replaced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer in which the fiber Bragg grating sensors are embedded. As one of the applications of the Smart Strand, friction coefficients were evaluated using a full-scale test of a 20 m long beam. The test variables were the curvature, diameter, and filling ratio of the sheath. The analysis results showed the average wobble and curvature friction coefficients of 0.0038/m and 0.21/radian, respectively, which correspond to the middle of the range specified in ACI 318-08 in the U.S. and Structural Concrete Design Code in Korea. Also, the accuracy of the coefficients was improved by reducing the effective range specified in these codes by 27-34 %. This study shows the wide range of applicability of the developed Smart Strand system.

  • 지능형 복합재료 구조물(Smart Composite Structures) 사용 시 부하되는 인장하중과 복합재료의 경화 시 발생하는 열하중은 복합재료 내에 삽입된 광섬유 센서의 기계적 거동에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 게다가 복합재료의 적층 순서 및 코팅층의 유무에 따라 광섬유 센서 내의 웅력 분포는 달라지게 된다. 또한, 복합재료 적층판 내에서 발생된 균열은 적층판 전체의 파괴뿐만 아니라 광섬유 센서의 파괴에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 인장하중 및 열하중이 가해지는 복합재료 적층판 내에 삽입된 광섬유 센서의 응력분포를 유한요소해석을 통해 알아보고, 복합재료 적층판의 적층 순서에 따른 영향과 광섬유 센서에 코팅을 하였을 경우 광섬유 센서 내의 응력분포에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 또, 인장실험을 통하여 적층판 내에서 발생한 균열이 광섬유 센서의 파괴에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다.
