Abstract

In the present study, temperature and frequency dependences of ultrasonic properties such as attenuation coefficient and phase velocity was investigated for six kinds of commercial MC-Nylon polymer samples. The ultrasonic properties of the samples were measured by using a pulse transmission method in water over a broadband frequency range of 2 to 8 MHz. Water temperature was varied from 10 to $60^{\circ}C$ with the $10^{\circ}C$ interval. The attenuation coefficients of the samples increased with the frequency and the exponent n of frequency dependence ranged within 1.16 to 1.44, slightly deviating from the linear dependence (n=1). The phase velocities of the samples exhibited negative dispersion, i.e., decreasing velocity with increasing frequency, except for ivory sample at $60^{\circ}C$. The frequency-dependent phase velocities of the samples showed the decreasing tendency with increasing temperature.

본 연구에서는 상용화된 monomer-cast nylon (MC nylon)계 고분자 재료로 만든 6종류의 시편에 대하여 감쇠계수 및 위상속도와 같은 초음파 특성의 온도 및 주파수 의존성을 조사하였다. 시편의 초음파 특성은 수중에서 2 MHz부터 8 MHz까지의 광대역 주파수 범위에 대하여 펄스투과법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 수온은 $10^{\circ}C$부터 $60^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 변화시켰다. 측정에 사용된 모든 시편에서 감쇠계수는 주파수가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 주파수의 지수 의존성 n이 선형 (n=1)에서 약간 벗어난 1.16부터 1.44이내의 값을 가졌다. 위상속도는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 ivory 시편을 제외한 모든 경우에 대하여 주파수가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 음의 분산 특성을 나타냈다. 주파수에 의존하는 위상속도는 모든 시편에서 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다.
