Water is critical to the health and productivity of fruit trees. Efficient monitoring of water stress is essential for optimizing irrigation practices and ensuring sustainable fruit production. Short-range sensing can be reliable, rapid, inexpensive, and used for applications based on well-developed and validated algorithms. This paper reviews the recent advancement in fruit tree water stress detection via short-range sensing, which can be used for irrigation scheduling in orchards. Thermal imagery, near-infrared, and shortwave infrared methods are widely used for crop water stress detection. This review also presents research demonstrating the efficacy of short-range sensing in detecting water stress indicators in different fruit tree species. These indicators include changes in leaf temperature, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content, and canopy reflectance. Short-range sensing enables precision irrigation strategies by utilizing real-time data to customize water applications for individual fruit trees or specific orchard areas. This approach leads to benefits, such as water conservation, optimized resource utilization, and improved fruit quality and yield. Short-range sensing shows great promise for potentially changing water stress monitoring in fruit trees. It could become a useful tool for effective fruit tree water stress management through continued research and development.

응력은 비가시 물리량이므로, 지반 내부에서 이를 측정하기 위해서는 토압계가 필요하다. 기존의 스트레인 게이지 기반 토압계는 큰 강성을 가지며, 이는 지반 내부 응력을 교란시켜 토압 측정의 정확성에 영향을 준다. 박막형 압전센서는 얇고 유연하므로, 이를 활용할 경우 지반 내부 응력의 교란을 최소화하여 지중응력을 측정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 박막형 압전 센서를 활용하여 지반 내부의 응력을 측정하기 위한 시스템을 구축하였다. 박막형 압전 센서를 교정하기 위한 챔버를 제작하여 사질토 지반 내부에 매설된 박막형 압전 센서의 측정 변동성과 센서의 감지 영역에 부착된 퍽으로 인한 측정 토압의 재현성 향상을 반복실험을 통해 확인하였다.

This paper is concerned on method of simultaneous force(stress) and temperature sensing with PVDF film. PVDF film has piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. Therefore, it senses changes of stress and temperature. But it's output is affected with two properties. Using different medium in a sensing element, this problem is solved. Two structures induce different equations that its solutions are changes of stress and temperature. This method and result is applicable in skin sensor that has complexity of material and structure.

A virtual vessel traffic control system is introduced to contribute to prevent a marine accident such as collision and stranding from happening. Existing VTS has its limit. The virtual vessel traffic control system consists of both data acquisition by satellite remote sensing and a simulation of traffic environment stress based on the satellite data, remotely sensed data And it could be used to provide timely and detailed information about the marine safety, including the location, speed and direction of ships, and help us operate vessels safely and efficiently. If environmental stress values are simulated for the ship information derived from satellite data, proper actions can be taken to prevent accidents. Since optical sensor has a high spatial resolution, JERS satellite data are used to track ships and extract their information. We present an algorithm of automatic identification of ship size and velocity. It lastly is shown that based on ship information extracted from JERS data, a qualitative evaluation method of environmental stress is introduced.

Timber structures are susceptible to structural damages caused by variations in moisture content (MC), inducing severe durability deterioration and safety issues. Therefore, it is of great significance to detect MC levels in timber structures. Compared to current methods for timber MC detection, which are time-consuming and require bulky equipment deployment, Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT)-enabled stress wave sensing combined with statistic machine learning classification proposed in this paper show the advantage of the portable device and ease of operation. First, stress wave signals from different MC cases are excited and received by PZT sensors through active sensing. Subsequently, two non-baseline features are extracted from these stress wave signals. Finally, these features are fed to a statistic machine learning classifier (i.e., naïve Bayesian classification) to achieve MC detection of timber structures. Numerical simulations validate the feasibility of PZT-enabled sensing to perceive MC variations. Tests referring to five MC cases are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results present high accuracy for timber MC detection, showing a great potential to conduct rapid and long-term monitoring of the MC level of timber structures in future field applications.

Assessment of nitrogen and chlorophyll content from crop leaves can help growers adjust N fertilizer rates to meet the demands of the crop. Numerous researchers have presented their studies about spectral signature of plant leaves to characterize the plant features. However, interrelational review and summary were limited and a communication gap exists between the plant science and optical engineering. Understanding the mechanism of leaf interaction to electromagnetic radiation and factors affecting spectrophotometric measurements can enhance the foundation of optical remote sensing technologies. This paper provides extensive review of previous works in optical sensing and explains the basics of plant optics, spectral measurements for plant stress, factors that affect sensitivity to spectral analysis, and applications that deploy optical remote sensing technologies.

본 연구에서는 smart ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concretes (S-UHPFRCs)의 자기감지 능력을 검증하기 위해 인장과 압축 영역에서 휨 하중에 따른 S-UHPFRCs의 전기역학적 거동을 조사하였다. 휨 하중 하에서 S-UHPFRCs의 전기저항률은 초기균열 이후 다수의 미세균열을 보이는 변형-경화 거동으로 인해 계속해서 변화된다. 압축 영역에서 S-UHPFRCs의 전기저항률은 등가 휨 응력이 증가함에 따라 976.57에서 514.05 kΩ-cm로 (47.00%) 감소하였으며, 인장 영역에서는 979.61에서 682.28 kΩ-cm로 (30.40%) 감소하였다. S-UHPFRCs의 응력 민감도 계수는 압축 영역과 인장 영역이 각각 1.709와 1.098 %/MPa이다. S-UHPFRCs의 처짐 감지 능력은 압축 영역 (30.06 %/mm)이 인장 영역 (19.72 %/mm)보다 높았다. 초기 처짐 감지 능력은 측정 영역과 관계없이 처짐 감지 능력의 약 50%로 초기 처짐에 대한 우수한 감지 능력을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 휨 하중 하에서 S-UHPFRCs의 자기감지 능력은 압축 영역에서 더 높았으나 S-UHPFRCs는 건설 현장에 적용할 자기 감지 재료로 충분하다.

The thermally insulated underground pipelines have been used for district heating system. The sensor wire embedded in the insulation was used for monitoring the insulating resistance between the sensor wire and the pipe. The resistance measurement system detects corrosion of steel pipe under insulation. The corrosion and stress corrosion cracking(SCC) characteristics of sensor wire in synthetic ground water were investigated using the electrochemical methods and constant load SCC tests. The polarization tests were used to study the electrochemical behavior of sensor wire. The sensor wire was passivated at temperatures ranging from 25 to $95^{\circ}C$. However, the applied sensing current larger than passive current resulted in breakdown of passive film. The constant load SCC tests were performed to investigate the effects of applied current and load on the fracture behavior. Stress-corrosion cracks initiated at pits that were produced by sensing current. The growth of the pit involves a tunnelling mechanism, which leads to ductile fracture.

Fragmentation 시험법과 전기저항 측정을 통하여 탄소 및 SiC 섬유강화 에폭시 복합재료의 계면물성과 섬유파단에 대한 전기적 감지능을 연구하였다. 섬유 함침 각이 증가함에 따라서 계면전단강도는 감소하였고, 섬유파단에 의한 전기저항도 값이 무한대로 증가하는 시간은 길어졌다. 높은 함침 각에서 전기저항도의 초기 기울기는 급격히 증가한 반면. 낮은 각에서는 점차적으로 증가하였다. 또한 낮은 함침각의 두 섬유 모두에서 stress whitening pattern을 뚜렷하게 관찰할 수 있었지만, 높은 함침 각에서는 그렇지 못했다. 섬유 함침 각이 감소함에 따라서 섬유 파단 간격과 debonding된 길이는 두 섬유 모두에서 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 electro-micromechanical 시험법은 전도성 섬유강화 복합재료의 섬유 함침 각에 따른 계면 감지능 측정을 위해서 비파괴적 평가방법으로 실행 가능하였다.

The strain sensing properties of th system xNiO-(1-x) CaO with various compositions (x=0.001-0.05) are evaluated and the origin of the phenomena is guessed. We have found out that the high temperature electrical conductivity of the xNiO-(1-x)CaO increases by applying the compressive stress at $1000^{\circ}C$. When the applied load is removed, the electrical conductivity rapidly decreases and returns to the original value, but a small hysteresis of the stress-conductivity curve is observed. After the loading test, the lattice parameter of the specimen is found lengthened. The correlation between the lengthening of the lattice parameter and the increases in the electrical conductivity by loading is discussed. The amount of the "expanded type" Ni(II)O6 clusters in the xNiO-(1-x)CaO grains is supposed to be increased by the applied stress, which would be the origin of the strain dependent electric conduction in the xNiO-(1-x)CaO system.aO system.
