Non-linear anisotropic materials were used to simulate the effects of tensile stress in 3D finite element analysis (FEA). FEA was used to calculate the effects of far and near-side pit depth and tensile stress on magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signals. The axial and radial MFL signals were depended on far and near-side double circular pit depth and on the stress, but the circumferential MFL signal was not depended on them. The axial and radial MFL signals increased with greater pit depth and applied stress, but the circumferential MFL signal was scarcely changed.

구조물의 안전성 평가와 수명예측은 구조물 내 결함에 관한 정확한 정보 즉, 결함의 종류, 크기, 위치, 형상으로 평가하고 있다 이들 결함의 분석과 해석 방법으로 실시간 평가가 가능하고, 구조물에 손상을 주지 않는 비파괴 결함 평가 방법이 널리 활용되고 있다. 특히 방사선투과시험에 의한 결함 해석과 평가는 투과사진 상에 나타나는 결함의 상으로부터 결함 형상과 결함 길이는 직접 확인할 수 있으며, 결함 깊이와 결함 높이의 해석에는 입체방사선투과검사법(Stereo-radiography)과 parallax법 등으로 현재 결함 깊이와 높이를 해석하고 있으나, 이러한 방법은 결함 검출을 위하여 조사방향을 여러방향으로 하여 방사선 투과사진을 다수 촬영하여야 하고, 촬영된 결함의 분석과 해석에도 숙련된 평가 기법이 요구되는 등 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있다.(중략)

Non-linear anisotropic materials were used to simulate the effects of bulk tensile stress in 3D finite element analysis (FEA). FEA was used to calculate the effects of near and far-side racetrack pit depth and simulated bulk tensile stress on magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signals. The axial and radial MFL signals were depended on near and far-side racetrack pit depth and on the bulk stress, but the circumferential MFL signal was not depended on them. The axial and radial MFL signals increased with greater pit depth and applied bulk stress, but the circumferential MFL signal was scarcely changed.

Nondestructive examination for low pressure turbine disc in standard nuclear power plant using phased array technique was studied. For this purpose, disc mockups were made and notches were machined in the mockups. Detection and length sizing by different methods are compared. Depth of deep notches could be measured by using AATT(absolute arrival time technique) or RATT(relative arrival time technique) but shallow notches that must be detected in early stage couldn't be measured by these two methods. For this case, notch depth was estimated by using signal response angle range and preyed usefulness.

Domestically developed concrete storage casks include an internal canister to maintain the confinement integrity of radio-active materials. In this study, we analyzed the depth of flaws caused by loads that propagate canister weld cracks under normal, off-normal and accident conditions, and evaluated the maximum allowable weld flaw depth needed to secure the structural integrity of the canister weld and to reduce the welding time of the internal canister lid of the concrete storage cask. Structural analyses for normal, off-normal and accident conditions were performed using the general-purpose finite element analysis program ABAQUS; the allowable flaw depth was assessed according to ASME B&PV Code Section XI. Evaluation results revealed an allowable canister weld flaw depth of 18.75 mm for the concrete storage cask, which satisfies the critical flaw depth recommended in NUREG-1536.

In the nuclear industry, wall thinning defect of straight pipe occur the enormous loss in life evaluation and safety evaluation. To use non-destructive technique, we measure deformation, vibration, defect evaluation. But, this techniques are a weak that is the measurement of the wide area is difficult and the time is caught long. In the secondary side of nuclear power plants mostly used steel pipe, artificiality wall thinning defect make in the side and different thickness make to the each other, wall thinning defect part of deformation measure by using shearography. In addition, optical measurement through deformation, vibration, defect evaluation evaluate pipe and thickness defects of pressure vessel is to evaluate quantitatively. By shearography interferometry to measure the pipe's internal wall thinning defect and the variation of pressure use the proposed technique, the quantitative defect is to evaluate the thickness of the surplus. The amount of deformation use thickness of surplus prediction of the actual thickness defect and approximately 7 percent error by ensure reliability. According to pressure the amount of deformation and the thickness of the surplus through DB construction, nuclear power plant pipe use wall thinning part soundness evaluation. In this study, pressure vessel of thickness defect measure proposed nuclear pipe of wall thinning defect prediction and integrity assessment technology development. As a basic research defected theory and experiment, pressure vessel of advanced stability and soundness and maintainability is expected to contribute foundation establishment.

본 연구에서는 음향파의 입사각을 횡파임계각도 이상으로 하여 횡파를 발생시키고 이를 이용하여 종래방식보다 고체 내부에 존재하는 미소결함의 검출한계를 개선시키는 방법을 연구분석하였다. 실험을 위하여 중심주파수3MHz인 반사형 음향현미경 시스템을 구성하였고 서로 다른 깊이에 임의의 결함을 갖는 시료를 제작하였으며 defocus 깊이를 변화시키면서 실험하였다. 실험결과 고체내부 Rayleigh파장의 3배정도 깊이에 존재하는 1mm 크기의 결함을 검출할 수 있었다.

A laser ultrasonic inspection system is a non-contact inspection device which generates and measures ultrasounds by using laser beams. A laser ultrasonic inspection system provides a high measurement resolution because the ultrasonic signal generated by a pulse laser beam has a wide-band spectrum and the ultrasonic signal is measured from a small focused spot of a measuring laser beam. In this paper, we have investigated the detection techniques of a surface-breaking crack by using the laser ultrasonic surface waves. A crack acts as a low pass filter whose cut-off frequency is lowered in proportion to the depth of a crack. And, the center frequency value of a spectrum is decreased in proportion to the depth of a crack. In this paper, we extracted the crack information by using the frequency attenuation from the normalized transfer function spectrum of a surface-breaking crack. Also, we effectively measured the crack depth by using the decreasing value of the center frequency from a crack passed ultrasonic signal. The proposed measuring techniques of crack depths provided more precise information than the amplitude measuring technique.

The ultrasonic inspection system for the expansion/transition area of steam generator tube was successfully developed. Variety of artificial flaw and real track specimen was tested using the UT system to verify the performance of the system. All artificial flaws of which through-wall depth larger than 10% was clearly detected by UT system. Measurement results of through-wall depth of flaws larger than 20% had good linearity and reproducibility with 3.27 of standard deviation. Results of real crack specimen test suggested that the detection limit of real crack strongly depends on the track morphology. A potential for measurement of PRL(percentage of remaining ligament) was recognized by the real crack specimen test.
