The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of an innovative surface-mount sensor, made of a piezoelectric disc (PZT sensor), as a consistent source for surface wave velocity and transmission measurements in concrete structures. To this end, one concrete slab with lateral dimensions of 1500 by 1500 mm and a thickness of 200 mm was prepared in the laboratory. The concrete slab had a notch-type, surface-breaking crack at its center, with depths increasing from 0 to 100 mm at stepwise intervals of 10 mm. A PZT sensor was attached to the concrete surface and used to generate incident surface waves for surface wave measurements. Two accelerometers were used to measure the surface waves. Signals generated by the PZT sensors show a broad bandwidth with a center frequency around 40 kHz, and very good signal consistency in the frequency range from 0 to 100 kHz. Furthermore, repeatability of the surface wave velocity and transmission measurements is significantly improved compared to that obtained using manual impact sources. In addition, the PZT sensors are demonstrated to be effective for monitoring an actual surface-breaking crack in a concrete beam specimen subjected to various external loadings (compressive and flexural loading with stepwise increases). The findings in this study demonstrate that the surface mount sensor has great potential as a consistent source for surface wave velocity and transmission measurements for automated health monitoring of concrete structures.

It is very important to detect and evaluate the surface or subsurface flaws because of their influences on mechanical properties of materials. Rayleigh wave and creeping wave are commonly used for the detection of surface and subsurface flaws. These techniques, however, have following problems. Each amplitudes are remarkably affected by the surface condition and evaluation of echo pattern is usually difficult because shear wave mode propagate in the material at the same time. On the other hand, surface SH-wave which is horizontally polarized shear wave traveling along near surface layer is an attractive technique for the surface or subsurface material characterization and this technique is useful to solve the problems mentioned above. In this paper, The stability and transmission coefficient of SH waves through a viscous fluid layer is theoretically studied and simulated. Its results agreed well with the theoretical expectation for the experimental verification. These experimental results show that viscosity of couplants, thickness of couplant and surface roughness are closely related to transfer efficiency in surface SH angle beam method.

Turbulent boundary layer pressure fluctuation exerted on the surface of a structure can give rise to a elastic stress wave on the surface of the structure. The stress wave so called surface wave, will not only propagate along the surface of structure but also penerate into the structure. To reduce the transmission of stress wave into the structure the elastomer layer is usually attactched on the surface of structure. The transfer function, which is defined herein as the ratio of stress waves at the surface and bottom of the elastomer layer, is derved by use of the cylindrical coordinates system. The elastodynamics of the elastomer layer subjected to the turbulent boundary layer pressure fluctuation is represented by the simplified one degree-of-freedom model for easy prediction of the stress wave transmission as well as efficient design of the elastomer layer.

Experimental and numerical investigations were conducted to study the performance of a surface-fixed horizontal porous wave barrier in regular waves. The characteristics of the reflection and transmission coefficients, energy dissipation, and vertical wave force were examined versus different porosities of the barrier. Numerical simulations based on 3D Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard low-Re k-ε turbulent closure and volume of fluid approach were accomplished and compared with the experimental results conducted in a 2D wave tank. Experimental measurements and numerical simulations were shown to be in satisfactory agreement. The qualitative wave behavior propagating over a horizontal porous barrier such as wave run-up, wave breaking, air entrapment, jet flow, and vortex generation was reproduced by CFD computation. Through the discrete harmonic decomposition of the vertical wave force on a wave barrier, the nonlinear characteristics were revealed quantitatively. It was concluded that the surface-fixed horizontal barrier is more effective in dissipating wave energy in the short wave period region and more energy conversion was observed from the first harmonic to higher harmonics with the increase of porosity. The present numerical approach will provide a predictive tool for an accurate and efficient design of the surface-fixed horizontal porous wave barrier.

The problem of interaction of surface water waves by small undulation at the bottom of a laterally unbounded sea is treated on the basis of linear water wave theory for both normal and oblique incidences. Perturbation analysis is employed to obtain the first order corrections to the reflection and transmission coefficients in terms of integrals involving the shape function c(x) representing the bottom undulation. Fourier transform method and residue theorem are applied to obtain these coefficients. As an example, a patch of sinusoidal ripples is considered in both the cases as the shape function. The principal conclusion is that the reflection coefficient is oscillatory in the ratio of twice the surface wave number to the wave number of the ripples. In particular, there is a Bragg resonance between the surface waves and the ripples, which is associated with high reflection of incident wave energy. The theoretical observations are validated computationally.

부유식 방파제의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 수면 근처에 고정된 상자형 방파제 경우의 방파성능을 실험하고 수치계산과 비교하였다. 상자의 폭과 흘수를 변화시키고 파의 주기와 경사도(wave steepness)를 변화시킴으로써 비교적 다양한 변수변화에 따른 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 투과계수와 방파제에 작용하는 힘을 실험으로부터 측정하고 선형포텐셜이론에 의해 계산된 결과와 비교함으로써 방파제가 수면근처에 고정된 경우 투과계수와 파력에 대한 흘수 및 파장의 영향을 논하였다. 배열의 경우 폰툰사이의 간격이 투과계수와 파력에 미치는 효과를 논하였고, 전반적으로 계산이 실험의 결과를 효과적으로 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study, we suggested the wave power generator using horizontal motions of the wave for use in the coastal sea. The length of the horizontal movement of the wave in the vicinity of the sea surface is larger than the length of the vertical reciprocating movement of the wave, hence the proposed device has a wave power transmission plate. In addition, because the motion of the wave is maximum to the sea surface, by arranging the buoyancy tanks at the top of the wave power transmission plate, it is always capable of vertical movement in accordance with the sea surface. To confirm the usefulness of the proposed wave power generator, we constructed a mathematical model of the wave power generator and carried out simulation using bondgraph. Furthermore, the efficiency was verified by measuring the degree of electrical energy production through a preliminary experiment.

기존 사회기반 시설의 안전성 평가를 위해서는, 콘크리트 부재에 존재하는 균열에 대해 정량적인 평가가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 균열의 깊이를 측정할 수 있는 비파괴검사 중 표면파 투과기법에 대해 고찰하였다. 특히, 콘크리트 부재 내부에 위치하는 철근이 표면파에 미치는 영향을 분석하여, 표면파 투과기법을 통한 균열깊이 추정 시 철근에 의해 발생하는 오차가 크지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한, 콘크리트 부재의 형상에 따라 발생하는 여러 반사파의 영향을 최소화하기 위해 치적의 윈도우 크기를 제안하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

금속 표면을 매질로 하는 표면파 통신을 선박에 적용하여 무선통신 환경 구현이 어려운 선내 밀폐 공간을 극복하는 표면파 통신 기반의 선내 무선 통신 구현 기술에 관한 연구이다. 표면파 통신을 실제 선박에서 실험하기 위해 선교를 기준으로 선수창고, 갑판창고, 선실, 기관실, 화물창고 등 선박 내부 공간을 관통하는 경로를 대상으로 표면파 발생기를 설치하여 통신 속도 등을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 각 구역에서 평균 13Mbps 수준의 통신 속도를 확인하였고, 기관실의 경우 정박 중 선박 엔진을 구동했을 시 4.3Mbps, 운항 중에 1.2Mbps의 전송속도 저하가 확인 되었지만, 시험 장비의 설치 위치를 기관실 입구로 변경하면 극복 가능함을 확인하였다. 완전 밀폐 환경인 선수 창고에서는 기존 무선통신보다 8Mbps 이상 높은 전송속도를 확인하여 철 구조물로 둘러싸인 선내 밀폐 공간에서 표면파 통신의 가능성을 확인하였고, 선박의 두꺼운 페인트 문제 해결을 위해 표면파 발생기를 추가 설계하여 적용하였다. 본 실험을 바탕으로 표면파 통신을 적용한 M-IoT 구현 등 선박내무선 네트워크 시스템 구현이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.
