The acousto-optical spectrometer as a new type backend of the receiver system for radio astronomical observations is manufactured for radio signal analysis. We studied on the effect of Acousto-Optic and Acousto-Optic devices and designed the optics system. We manufactured the optical mount and the CCD detector for deflected beam and interface card. This acousto-optical spectrometer consisted of a laser, optics, acousto-optic deflector, CCD detector and Interface card. This system use He-Ne laser as a light source and use optics to get parallel beam and to focus the deflected beam. Acousto-optic deflector converts IF signal to ultrasonic wave and deflect the laser beam according to the Bragg deflection. The ultra wide band acousto-optic deflector has 1 GHz bandwidth and a total of 2,048 channel Charge Coupled Device for signal detection. In this study, we discuss the theoretical description on the effect of Acousto-optics, the design of the optics, manufacture of optical mount, CCD detector, interface card and we presented the results of experiment. As a result of measurement, we have 1,000 channels bandwidth from CCD channels.

Real-time monitoring of stiffness and strength in cement based system has received significant attention in past few decades owing to the development of advanced techniques. Also, use of environment friendly supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) in cement, though gaining huge interest, severely affect the strength gain especially in early ages. Continuous monitoring of strength- and stiffness- gain using an efficient technique will systematically facilitate to choose the suitable time of removal of formwork for structures made with SCM incorporated concrete. This paper presents a technique for monitoring the strength and stiffness evolution in hydrating fly ash blended cement systems using electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) based technique. It is important to observe that the slower pozzolanic reactivity of fly ash blended cement systems could be effectively tracked using the evolution of equivalent local stiffness of the hydrating medium. Strength prediction models are proposed for estimating the strength and stiffness of the fly ash cement system, where curing age (in terms of hours/days) and the percentage replacement of cement by fly ash are the parameters. Evaluation of strength as obtained from EMI characteristics is validated with the results from destructive compression test and also compared with the same obtained from commonly used ultrasonic wave velocity (UPV). Statistical error indices indicate that the EMI technique is capable of predicting the strength of fly ash blended cement system more accurate than that from UPV. Further, the correlations between stiffness- and strength- gain over the time of hydration are also established. From the study, it is found that EMI based method can be effectively used for monitoring of strength gain in the fly ash incorporated cement system during hardening.

In this paper, we propose a pipe leak detection system through data collection using low-power wireless acoustic sensor modules and data analysis using deep auto-encoder. Based on the Fourier transform, we propose a low-power wireless acoustic sensor module that reduces data traffic by reducing the amount of acoustic sensor data to about 1/800, and we design the system that is robust to noise generated in the audible frequency band using only 20kHz~100kHz frequency signals. In addition, the proposed system is designed using a deep auto-encoder to accurately detect pipe leaks even with a reduced amount of data. Numerical experiments show that the proposed pipe leak detection system has a high accuracy of 99.94% and Type-II error of 0% even in the environment where high frequency band noise is mixed.

국내의 경우 관개용수의 대부분은 벼생육을 위한 논의 관개응수로 사용되고있다. 농업용수 이용은 약 150억㎥/year, 이는 하천유지수량을 제외한 전체 물이용량 237억㎥/year의 약 63%에 해당한다. 최근 물절약은 가장 중요한 사회, 경제적인 이슈 중의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 그러나, 국내의 경우 관개효율은 여전히 낮아 약 35%의 관개용수가 손실되는 것으로 추정되고있다. 비록 관개에서의 물절약이 시급한 문제이기는 하지만 용수손실 원인에 따른 손실량에 대한 정량적인 연구가 행해지지 않았었다. 손실 원인에 따른 손실량을 계측하기 위한 시험지구로 경기 평택의 이동지구를 선정하였다. 시험지구의 주수원공으로는 유역면적 9,440ha, 관개면적 2,027ha인 이동저수지이며 상류유역에 미산 및 용덕저수지가 위치하고 관개지구내에 원암 및 은산양수장이 있다. 시험지구의 계측시설은 강우량 계측을 위하여 자기강우계를 설치하였고 저수위, 하천수위 및 응배수로의 수위 측정을 위하여 수위계를 설치하였다. 강우계는 4개소에 설치되었으며 수위계는 26개소에 설치되었다 강우계는 지구내의 저수지 및 양수장 관리사 부근 4개소에 전도형 자기우량계를 설치하였다. 수위계 26개소 중에서 저수지의 저수위 계측지점이 3개소이며 하천수위 계측지점이 2개소 그리고 용배수로의 간선수로 시점부와 간지선 분기점 등의 주요지점에 21개소의 계측지점이 있다. 모든 계측지점의 계측기에는 자체 혹은 별도의 자료저장용 데이터로거가 부착되어 현장 계측자료를 저장하도록 설치 되어있다. 강우계는 전도형강우계(tipping bucket type)이며 수위계는 계측지점의 특징에 따라 여러종류의 수위계측기가 설치되었다 예를들어 초음파수위계(ultrasonic-wave type), 부표식수위계(float type) 그리고 압력식수위계(Pressure type)가 설치되어 있다. 현장 계측기의 전원은 한국전력 전원 혹은 태양전지 및 축전지를 사용하였다. 수위계측지점의 유량을 환산하기 위하여 계측지점의 단면조사와 유속측정을 통해서 수위-유량관계(rating curve)를 규명하였다. 시험지구의 관개효율 및 용수손실 규명 등에 관한 기본자료를 수집하기 위해서는 계측시스템의 운영은 장기간으로 지속 되어야 한다

We investigate mechanical anisotropy dependent of rock fabric and its relationship with microcracks in the Pocheon Granite. Uniaxial compressive strengths range from 177MPa to 212MPa and the elastic constants are 48GPa-62GPa. The tensile strengths are 6.9MPa~8.5MPa and ultrasonic wave velocities range between 3,200m/sec and 3,700m/sec, indicating that mechanical anisotropy is strongly dependent of rock fabric. The minimum anisotropy ratio is 14% and the maximum is 24%, depend on the mechanical properties. The preferred orientations of microcracks are closely related with the directions of rock fabric. The preferred orientations of microcracks in feldspar are governed by the direction of mineralogical axis and are different from the directions of rock fabric. However, microcracks in quartz grains are very long and parallel to the directions of rock fabric, indicating that directions of rock fabric may be governed by the preferred orientations of microcracks in quartz grains. The preferred orientations of microcracks measured by differential strain analysis and microscopic observation are slightly different. That may be caused by different methodology. Lengths and numbers of microcrack are measured by microscopic observation. However, differential strain analysis measures the widths of microcracks.

Outer tank concretes of LNG storage tank are composed of prestressed concrete structures that act as a protective wall. The danger such as the collapse of structures will exist if concrete structures is not secured due to the deterioration. Concrete compressive strength directly related to the safety of structures can be predicted by using estimation equation of compressive strength through rebound hardness test and ultrasonic wave velocity method. But, there is no the estimation equation of LNG storage tank for a relation between NDT data and real strength. In this study, to obtain more accurate real strengths for LNG storage tank, core specimens were sampled from walls of pilot LNG storage tank. The rebound hardness test of general NDT for concrete structures was carried out at each 3 positions for the four areas. The compressive strength estimation equation of LNG storage tank was developed by using the data for rebound hardness test of pilot LNG storage tank and compressive strength test of sampled concrete cores.

박막의 탄성 특성을 평가하는 방법으로 nano-indentation, Brillouin light scattering measurement, ultrasonic surface wave measurement, bulge test, vibration membrane method 등 여러 가지가 제시되어 왔다. 이러한 방법들은 필름의 두께가 일정 두께 이상이 되어야 정확한 측정이 가능한 방법으로 매우 얇은 박막에서도 탄성특성을 평가할 수 있는 freehang, bridge 방법이 제시되었으며, 이 방법은 간단한 식각 공정을 통해 매우 얇은 박막에도 적용시킬 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 아주 얇은 박막에서도 탄성특성을 평가할 수 있는 freehang 방법을 이용하여 순수한 Diamond-like carbon (DLC) 필름과 Sidl 첨가된 DLC 필름의 탄성 특성을 평가하고자 한다. 실험에서 사용한 필름은 rf-PACVD 장비를 이용하여 증착하였다. 이때 전극과 플라즈마 사이의 바이어스 음전압은 -400 Vb로 합성압력은 10mTorr로 고정하였다. 사용한 반응 가스는 벤젠(C6H6), 그리고 벤젠과 희석된 실렌(SiH4 : H2 = 10 : 90)이며, 희석된 실렌의 첨가량을 조절하여 필름 내에 일정량의 Si을 함유시켰다. 각각의 조건에서 증착시간을 조절하여 필름의 두께를 변화시켰으며, KOH(5.6mol) 용액을 이용하여 습식 식각을 함으로써 freehang을 제작하였다. 이때 식각액에 의한 DLC 필름의 손상은 관찰되지 않았다. 필름의 잔류 응력을 측정하기 위해 200$\pm$10 혹은 100$\pm$5$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 얇은 (100) Si wafer를 5$\times$50 mm2의 strip 형태로 절단하여 사용하였다. 필름의 압축 잔류 응력에 의해 발생한 필름/기판 복합체의 곡률은 laser 반사법과 $\alpha$-step profiler를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 이 결과를 Brenner 등에 유도된 식을 이용하여 잔류 응력을 계산하였다. 또한 제작된 frddhang은 광학 현미경과 전자주사현미경에 의해 관찰되었다. 이렇게 제작된 freehang을 이용하여 필름이 기판에 부착되기 위해 필요한 변형률을 측정하고, 독립적으로 측정된 필름의 잔류 응력을 박막의 응력-변형률 관계식에 적용하여 biaxial elastic modulus, E/(1-v)를 구할 수 있었다. 측정 결과 필름의 잔류 응력과 biaxial elastic modulus는 필름의 두께가 감소함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 같은 두께의 필름인 경우, 식각 깊이에 따른 biaxial elastic modulus 의 변화를 통해 최적의 식각 깊이를 알 수 있었다.

A time-frequency analysis method was developed to analyze the dispersive waves caused by impact loads in structural members such as beams and plates. Stress waves generated by ball drop and pencil lead break were recorded by ultrasonic transducers and acoustic emission (AE) sensors. Wavelet transform (WT) using Gabor function was employed to analyze the dispersive waves in the time-frequency domain, and then to find the arrival time of the waves as a function of frequency. The measured group velocities in the beam and the plate were compared with the predictions based on the Timoshenko beam theory and Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equations, respectively. The agreements were found to be very good.

Besides their spiritual significance, minarets are humanity's cultural heritage to the future generations due to their historical and architectural attraction. Currently, many historical masonry minarets are damaged and destroyed due to several reasons such as earthquakes and wind. Therefore, safety of these religiously significant buildings needs to be thoroughly investigated. The utmost care must be taken into account while investigating these structures. Our study investigated earthquake behavior of historical masonry minaret of Haci Mahmut Mosque. Destructive and non-destructive tests were carried out to determine earthquake safety of this structure. Brick-stone masonry material properties of structure were determined by accomplishing ultrasonic wave velocity, Schmidt Hammer, uniaxial compression (UAC) and indirect tension (Brazilian) tests. Determined material properties were used in the finite element analysis of the structure. To validate the numerical analysis, Operational Modal Analysis was applied to the structure and dynamic characteristics of the structure were determined. To this end, accelerometers were placed on the structure and vibrations due to environmental effects were followed. Finite element model of the minaret was updated using dynamic characteristics of the structure and the realistic numerical model of the structure was obtained. This numerical model was solved by using earthquake records of Turkey with time history analysis (THA) and the realistic earthquake behavior of the structure was introduced.
