Membrane structure is a system that is stabilized by maintaining a tensile state of the membrane material that originally cannot resist the bending or pressure. Also, it is a system that allows the whole membrane structure to bear external loads caused by wind or precipitation such as snow, rain and etc. Tension relaxation phenomenon can transpire to the tension that is introduced to the fabric over time, due to the innate characteristics of the membrane material. Thus, it is important to accurately understand the size of the membrane tension after the completion of the structures, for maintenance and management purposes. The authors have proposed the principle of theoretically and indirectly measuring the tension by vibrating the membrane surface with sound waves exposures against the surface, which is compartmentalized by a rectangular boundary, and by measuring the natural frequency of the membrane surface that selectively resonates. The authors of this paper measured the tension of preexisting membrane structure for its maintenance by using the developed portable measurement equipment. Through analyzing the measurement data, the authors review the points that should be improved and the technical method for the new maintenance system of membrane tension.

Post-tensioning (PT) tendons are commonly used for the assembly of modularized concrete members, and tension is applied to the tendons during construction to facilitate the integrated behavior of the members. However, the tension in a PT tendon decreases over time due to steel corrosion and concrete creep, and consequently, the stress on the anchor head that secures the PT tendon also diminishes. This study proposes an automatic detection system to identify tension reduction in a PT tendon using pulsed-eddy-current (PEC) measurement. An eddy-current sensor is installed on the surface of the steel anchor head. The sensor creates a pulsed excitation to the driving coil and measures the resulting PEC response using the pick-up coil. The basic premise is that the tension reduction of a PT tendon results in stress reduction on the anchor head surface and a change in the PEC intensity measured by the pick-up coil. Thus, PEC measurement is used to detect the reduction of the anchor head stress and consequently the reduction of the PT tendon force below a certain threshold value. The advantages of the proposed PEC-based tension-reduction-detection (PTRD) system are (1) a low-cost (< $ 30), low-power (< 2 Watts) sensor, (2) a short inspection time (< 10 seconds), (3) high reliability and (4) the potential for embedded sensing. A 3.3 m long full-scale monostrand PT tendon was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed PTRD system. The PT tendon was tensioned to 180 kN using a custom universal tensile machine, and the tension was decreased to 0 kN at 20 kN intervals. At each tension, the PEC responses were measured, and tension reduction was successfully detected.

인장구조물에서의 인장재는 가장 중요한 부재임에도 불구하고, 현재 인장재에 발생하는 현장에서 효과적으로 측정하는 방법에는 어려운 점이 많다. 기존의 측정방법으로는 일시적 또는 특정부재의 측정은 가능하지만 전체부재의 측정과 장기간 측정은 불가능하다. 이에 인장재의 인장력을 측정하기 위한 방법을 제시하고, 인장력이 작용하였을 때 탄성상태에서 부재가 선형적으로 변형하는 성질을 이용하여 인장재의 인장력을 효과적으로 측정하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 측정장치의 개발에 필요한 자료를 제공하고자 유한요소해석을 수행하였고, 시험체를 제작하여 실험을 실시하여 해석의 결과를 검증하였다.

This paper is concerned with the development of a measurement system using field measuring device which will give the membrane stress of the membrane structures. Up to this point, several techniques on measurement of membrane stresses has been proposed and some have been used in the fields, but accuracy of the measured stresses to be far from reliable one. Such situation has not been changed until recent days, we do not have the measurement device on which we can depend. On top of that, due to the different properties in cross directions for material of the membrane, the stress in the warp direction is different from that in the fill one. A new method is proposed to measured membrane stresses in two different direction separately, where instead of membrane stresses directly, an external force perpendicular to the membrane to be applied. A portable device can measure the applied force and the displacement. A special testing bed to be fabricated to accommodate $50cm{\times}50$ manbrane specimen which can apply 5 ton load in two orthogonal direction. A special device using push-pull gage was developed. To measure the membrane stresses in warp and fill direction separately, a different length of the tips are used. The measuring device which can called tension meter, can be calibrated on the testing bed, and optimized the length and shape of tip.

교량 지지용으로 사용되는 강재 케이블에 대한 장력측정은 교량 안전관리의 중요한 측정항목이다. 현재 케이블에 걸린 장력을 진동법과 로드셀로 측정하고 있으며, 최근에는 선진국에서 자기적 방식에 의한 장력측정 방법을 연구하여 이에 대해 여러 가지 결과물을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 아직 우리나라에서는 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 수행되지 않고 있어 자기적 방식에 의한 장력측정 연구를 시작하였으며 장력측정 정밀도 향상을 위해 연구하고 있다. 자기적 방식의 장력측정에서 강재 케이블 내의 온도와 자기장에 대한 영향을 검토해야 한다. 금번 논문에서는 온도에 따라 장력센서의 출력특성을 시험하였고 주어진 자기장에서 온도보정계수를 도출하였으며 시험실 내의 장력측정 시스템에 보정계수를 적용하여 케이블 장력에 따른 장력센서의 출력특성에 대한 시험 결과를 분석하고 평가하였다.

Tissue 02 tension is an important guide in detection of the general condition in critical patients. The tissue 0, is more difficult to measure with 0, sensor in skeletal muscle and subcutaneous tissues to present. But it is much easier to measure 0, tension in bladder urine with Censini catheter in Foley catheter than in tissue. We have measured 0, tension in bladder urine, main pulmonary artery and radial artery in 16 patients in chest surgical department of Yonsei University. College of Medicine from September 26 to December 22, 1981. Six patients were male and ten patients were female. Their ages ranged from 8 to 43 years. The correlation equation between the simultaneously measured PuO2 and PvO2 was found to be Ypvo2=4.04 + 0.88 Xpuo2 [r=0.88, p<0.0001] in regression curve with computer [HP/3,000, Program: SPSS] in the Yonsei University. Measurement of 0, tension in bladder urine and MPA will be rather simple, rapid and reproducible method than that of the 0, tension in tissues. But the speed of 0, consumption in urine is fast and so the 0, tensions in bladder urine were measured as soon as possible after they were collected. They were no complications or morbidity during measurement of 0, tension in these procedures except spontaneous removal of radial arterial cannulas in 2 patients.

Many reports have been shown that the buoyancy, electromagnetic force, surface tension, and gas shear stress are the driving forces of weld pool circulation in arc welding. Among them, the surface tension of molten metal plays an important role in the flow in weld pool, which are clarified by the specially designed experiments with small particles as well as the numerical simulations. The surface tension is also related to the penetration in arc welding. Therefore, a quantitative evaluation of surface tension is demanded for the development of materials and arc process control. However, there are few available data published on the surface tension of molten metals, since it depends on the temperature and the composition of materials. In this study, a new method was proposed for the evaluation of surface tension and its temperature dependence, in which it is evaluated by the equilibrium condition of acting forces under a given surface geometry, especially back surface. When this method was applied to the water pool and to the back surface of molten pool in the stationary gas tungsten arc welding of thin plate, following results were obtained. In the evaluation of surface tension of water, it was shown that the back surface geometry was very sensitive to the evaluation of surface tension and the evaluated value coincided with the surface tension of water. In the measurement of molten pool in the stationary gas tungsten arc welding, it was also shown that the comparison between the surface tension and temperature distribution across the back surface gave the temperature dependent surface tension. Applying this method to the mild steel and stainless steel plates, the surface tension with negative gradient for temperature is obtained. The evaluated values are well matched with ones in the published papers.

The 200mesh screen was tensioned and fixed on a frame. When applied tension to 5N and 10N per unit area, a side length of opening of the screen was 163.223${\mu}m$ and 168.224${\mu}m$, respective. But side length not tensioned was 158.879${\mu}m$. We knew that a side length of opening of the screen rarely changes with tension applied to the screen. The appearances that a side length of opening of the screen expand little are due to a decreasing diameter of thread by means of tension. In a thickness measurement of screen, While the high density mesh screen that had a lot of knots that crossed a line of latitude and longitude per unit area appeared a higher numerical value, the low density mesh screen that had a few knots appeared a low numerical value.

본 연구는 교량의 상시계측자료인 고유진동수 및 고유모드를 기준으로 계측기반모델을 구성하고, 구조해석을 수행하여 교량 공용상태에서 사장케이블 장력평가를 수행하였다. 케이블 설치 위치에 따라 하중유형별 케이블 장력이 다르다는 것을 알 수 있다. 고정하중과 활하중에 의한 케이블 계측장력은 케이블 설치위치에 따라 차이가 크지 않으나 설계하중을 적용한 해석결과보다 큰 값을 나타낸다. 계측기반모델에 대한 케이블장력분포는, 설계모델에 대한 장력보다 크지만, 계측장력과 유사한 분포를 나타낸다. 그러므로 장기거동을 고려하여 사장교 케이블설계는 계측기반모델의 해석결과를 반영할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여 많은 계측자료를 이용한 장기거동 분석연구가 요구된다.
