큰 가로세로비를 가지는 유연날개의 변형정보는 구조 건전성 평가를 위한 실시간 모니터링에 필요하다. 비행 중인 날개 구조 대변형은 날개 외피의 변형률과 곡률의 관계식을 기반으로 한 비선형 변위 예측 알고리즘을 통해 예측될 수 있다. 그러나 동체에 고정된 날개의 기하학적인 형상으로 인하여 고정단 부근에서의 변형률 분포는 복잡한 양상을 나타내며, 변형률 센서가 부착된 센싱라인의 코드방향 위치에 따라 변위가 다르게 예측될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 스팬방향 변형률의 보정을 통하여 변형률 센싱라인의 코드방향 위치에 관계없이 예측변위의 정확도를 향상시키는 연구를 수행하였다. 변형률 보정을 위하여 스팬방향 및 코드방향 변형률의 비, 재료의 포아송비, 보와 평판 모델의 변형률 비를 이용하였다. 보정된 변형률을 이용하여 예측한 변위는 해석변위와 잘 일치하였으며, 이를 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

Polymeric thin-film assemblies whose bulk electrical conductivity and mechanical performance have been enhanced by single-walled carbon nanotubes are proposed for measuring strain and corrosion activity in metallic structural systems. Similar to the dermatological system found in animals, the proposed self-sensing thin-film assembly supports spatial strain and pH sensing via localized changes in electrical conductivity. Specifically, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is used to create detailed mappings of film conductivity over its complete surface area using electrical measurements taken at the film boundary. While EIT is a powerful means of mapping the sensing skin's spatial response, it requires a data acquisition system capable of taking electrical impedance measurements on a large number of electrodes. A low-cost wireless impedance analyzer is proposed to fully automate EIT data acquisition. The key attribute of the device is a flexible sinusoidal waveform generator capable of generating regulated current signals with frequencies from near-DC to 20 MHz. Furthermore, a multiplexed sensing interface offers 32 addressable channels from which voltage measurements can be made. A wireless interface is included to eliminate the cumbersome wiring often required for data acquisition in a structure. The functionality of the wireless impedance analyzer is illustrated on an experimental setup with the system used for automated acquisition of electrical impedance measurements taken on the boundary of a bio-inspired sensing skin recently proposed for structural health monitoring.

무게 센서를 기본으로 한 광파이버는 무게에 민감한 파이버 브래그 격자를 이용한 구조로 되어있다. FBG 본래의 특성을 이용한 센싱과 광파이버 브래그 격자를 통하여 스트레인 효과를 기본으로 하였다. 무게 레벨의 직접적인 표시는 센싱 물질의 팽창으로 말미암아 브래그 파장의 천이에 의하여 알 수 있다. FBG의 동작은 스트레인과 온도에 매우 민감하게 만들기 위해서 본래의 특성에 의한 것으로 특별한 필터와 같다. 이러한 센싱 원리는 무게를 인가한 것으로 FBG를 통해서 스트레인 효과를 기본으로 한 것이다. 실험 구성은 센서의 무게 응답특성을 초기 연구를 통해 이용하였다. 센서로부터 투과된 신호는 0.4nm의 분해능 대역폭을 가지며 광 스펙트럼분석기를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 본 논문에서는 무게에 따른 광파이버 브래그 격자의 중심 파장이 변화하는 것을 이용하는 동시에 작은 격자 부분에 무게로 영향을 주어 FBG의 스펙트럼 특성과 형태를 나타내었으며, 광파이버의 내구성이 사라졌을 때 파장과 스트레인 변화가 제거됨을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 무게에 의해 광파이버가 파괴되면 물리적인 손상을 입게 된다.

탄소나노튜브 고분자 복합체는, 외력에 의한 변형에 따라 전기적 저항이 변화하는 피에조저항(piezoresistivity) 거동을 나타낸다. 피에조저항은 고분자 모재 내에서 탄소나노튜브가 형성하는 전기전도망(conductive network)의 변화에 의해서 발현된다. 피에조저항 낮은 탄소나노튜브 함유량에서 더 현저하게 나타난다. 탄소섬유, 카본블랙 등 타 탄소기반 소재에 비해 전기전도도와 길이 대 직경비(aspect ratio)가 월등히 우수하기 때문에, 낮은 탄소나노튜브의 함유량에서도 스트레인 센싱시스템을 구현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, 구조물에 부착 또는 임베드 시켜서 구조물의 건전성을 실시간을 진단할 수 있는 탄소나노튜브 고분자 복합체 기반 센싱시스템을 개발하였다. 센서는 열가소성 수지와 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 사용하여 필름 형태로 제조되었으며, 센싱 성능은 나노복합체를 구조물에 부착한 후 인장, 굽힘, 압축 등의 다양한 형태의 하중을 가하면서 평가하였다.

Fiber Bra99 grating (FBG) sensor, one of the fiber optic sensor (FOS) offers lots of advantages for structural health monitoring due to its multiplexing capability. Also, it is proper to measure the structural vibration with no mass concentration effect. In this paper, we constructed two sensor arrays composed of 9 FBG sensors for the vibration and mode sensing of a composites beam. For an accurate measurement of wavelength shift, a signal processing board with an electric circuit based on time-interval counting was developed. This sensor system showed a good resolution of dynamic strain (<10${\mu}{\varepsilon}$). Using this sensor system, dynamic strains at 9 points of composite beam was measured and strain measured mode shape of the beam was calculated from the acquired strains and compared with numerical results by ABAQUS.

The importance of sensing the force and torque with arbitrary direction and magnitude is becoming more crucial for robotic applications and manufacturing automations. Recently, several designs of a multi-axis force-torque sensor have been tried to sense this force and torque. This paper deals mainly with the signal processing of a six-axis force-torque sensor using cross-shaped elastic structures with circular holes. In this paper, we show principle of sensing force and torque, the signal processing methodology, and efficient methods of seeking strain gage positions in the sensor structure. The validity of the proposed method is shown via experiments.

In this paper, a carbon strain gauge for large strain was developed. The carbon strain gauge was fabricated by forming PCB and antenna pattern using Cu/Ni/Au film and carbon resistor pattern using screen printing process on plastic film substrate. It was possible to develop low-cost disposable strain gauge since the carbon paste was cheap and the fabrication process was simple. The wireless communication type carbon strain gauge was fabricated by integrating signal processing circuit, antenna and power all together on the same substrate as a strain gauge. The wireless communication type carbon strain gauge has a merit of being available immediately at the spot without any particular system.

Acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are known to be the triggering molecules in the quorum sensing mechanism of many gram-negative bacteria. In order to detect AHL inhibitors that are potential biofilm inhibitors, a convenient and sensitive bioassay was developed based on the $\beta$-galactosidase activity ($\beta$-GAL) of a recombinant Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain. A series of commercially available AHLs were tested for inducing $\beta$-GAL at varying concentrations in agar-plate and liquid cultures of the reporter strain. All AHLs tested exhibited a concentration­dependent induction, and octanoyl homoserine lactone (OHL) showed the highest sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.1 nM in the liquid culture assay. When fimbrolide, a known quorum sensing inhibitor, was added, induction of $\beta$-GAL by OHL was repressed. The repression at a constant OHL concentration was dependent on the fimbrolide concentration with the detection limit below 1 ppm, indicating that this assay is a sensitive method for screening AHL inhibitors.

In this study, a carbon nanotube (CNT) flexible strain sensor was fabricated with CNT based epoxy and rubber composites for tactile sensing. The flexible strain sensor can be fabricated as a long fibrous sensor and it also may be able to measure large deformation and contact information on a structure. The long and flexible sensor can be considered to be a continuous sensor like a dendrite of a neuron in the human body and we named the sensor as a biomimetic artificial neuron. For the application of the neuron in biomimetic engineering, an ANMS (Artificial Neuron Matrix System) was developed by means of the array of the neurons with a signal processing system. Moreover, a strain positioning algorithm was also developed to find localized tactile information of the ANMS with Labview for the application of an artificial e-skin.
