Abstract

In this paper, a test is performed to verify the mechanical durability of acoustic sensor system mounted in seabed given test specification. High system durability is required for acoustic sensor system which is costly for installation process, and is affected with various tensional loads by installation equipments. So, it is necessary to verify the system durability including its performance or lifetime in mounted environments. The list of specified tests is mainly based on UJ QTS 200 and the system mostly satisfies the test specification for electrical characteristics.

본 논문에서는 해저매설형 음향센서 시스템의 기계적 내구성을 검증하기 위한 시험 규격을 수립하고 관련 시험을 수행하였다. 음향센서 시스템은 고가의 설치 비용으로 인하여 설치 이후에 높은 신뢰성이 요구되며, 매설 장비와의 기계적 연동 중에 다양한 복합 하중이 작용하므로 높은 내구성을 갖는 설계가 요구된다. 따라서, 이러한 설계 조건을 만족하는지에 대하여 시험 규격을 수립하고 검증하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 UJ QTS 200 규격 기반으로 내구성 시험을 수행하여, 전기적인 특성에 대한 대부분의 시험 기준을 만족함을 확인하였다.
