Abstract

In recent, Lamb wave has been actively studied for non-destructive testing of plate. Among those studios, laser generation method of focused Lamb wave is expected to have high spatial resolution with advantages of non-contact testing. In this method, the laser beam is illuminated on the surface of object by through an arrayed-arc slit, and then the energy of the generated Lamb wave is concentrated at a focus of arc. This focusing effect improves the spatial resolution, which is dependant on the geometries of arrayed-arc slit. In this paper, the relationships between the parameters of arc-shaped slit and the focusing ability of the generated Lamb wave was investigated by the simulation based parametric study The results show that to improve the focusing effect, radius of illuminated laser, angle of arc and number of arcs must be increased, which minimum radius of arc and distance between arcs(=wavelength) must be decreased. These results are expected to be used as a guide to design the proper shape of slit.

최근 램파를 비파괴검사에 이용하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도, 레이저에 의해 집속형 램파를 발생시키는 방법은 비접촉식 검사의 장점과 함께 높은 공간분해능을 기대할 수 있다 이 방법에서 레이저는 원호배열슬릿을 통하여 판재 표면에 조사되는데, 발생된 램파의 에너지가 원호배열의 초점에 집속되는 효과를 갖게 된다. 이 때 공간분해능의 향상은 램파의 집속도를 높임으로써 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 높은 집속도의 램파를 발생시키도록 원호형 슬릿을 설계하기 위해 슬릿의 형상인자와 램파의 집속도 사이의 관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 레이저조사반경과 원호각, 원호수를 증가시키거나 원호반경과 파장을 감소시킴으로써 집속도를 높일 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 본 연구의 결과는 적절한 원호형 슬릿의 설계기준으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대 된다.
