초록

발전설비의 중요한 요소인 배관의 효율적인 비파괴검사를 위해, 배관내에 유도초음파를 comb 트랜스듀서를 이용하여 발생시켰으며, 유도초음파를 비접촉 방식으로 수신하기 위해 An(air-coupled transducer)를 적용하였다. comb 트랜스듀서의 요소간격과 이론적인 분산선도로부터 발생가능 한 유도초음파 모드가 예측되었다. 또한 예측된 모드를 수신하기 위해 각 모드의 이론적인 위상속도를 이용하여 ACT의 수신 각도를 결정하였다. 수신모드의 특성을 규명하기 위해 웨이블릿 변환과 2D-FFT를 이용한 시간-주파수해석을 수행하여 이론적인 분산선도와 비교한 결과, 수신된 보드는 이론적으로 예측된 모드와 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

In order to inspect the piping effectively, one of the important components in the facility of power plants, the ultrasonic guided wave was generated by a tomb transducer and was received in a non-contact fashion by using an air-coupled transducer. The guided wave modes that ran be generated by the comb transducer in piping are predicted from the theoretical dispersion curves and the element spacing of a comb transducer. Moreover, to receive the specific modes, the receiving angle of the air-coupled transducer is calculated from Snell's law between the phase velocities of guided waves and the sound velocity of air. The guided wave modes obtained in experiments are identified from the result of time-frequency analysis such as wavelet transform and two-dimensional fast Fourier transform.
