Impact resonance testing was carried out on small and large concrete blocks containing several types of artificial flaws respectively. Quantitative analysis of the observed peak frequencies in the impact resonance tests identifies the possible normal modes of concrete blocks containing flaws. and enables to determine the depth and size of the flaws in concrete blocks. In this study, concrete can be treated as a homogeneous and isotropic material. The flaw size and location at each section of artificial flaw series in small and large concrete blocks, determined through two-dimensional scanning of impact point and real-time fast Fourier transform, are in good agreement with real size location, respectively. Consequently, quantitative analysis method of vibration modes in the impact resonance tests, which can be applied for homogeneous and isotropic material, can be useful for the detection of flaws in any case of small and large concrete blocks in this study.

신뢰도 높은 소프트웨어 개발의 필요성은 전혀 새로운 것이 아니다. 요즘 들어, 소프트웨어의 크기와 복잡도가 증가함으로 인해 소프트웨어의 결함 때문에 발생하는 시스템 고장이 전체 시스템 고장에서 많은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 고 신뢰도를 요구하는 시스템의 소프트웨어는 복구블록, 분산 복구블록, N-버전 프로그래밍, N 자기검사 프로그래밍과 같은 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들을 사용하고 있다. 이러한 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들에 대한 연구와 함께 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들의 의존도 측정에 관한 연구 또한 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 마르코프 모델을 사용해서 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들의 보다 자세한 신뢰도 모델링과 가용도, 안전도 등에 관한 모델링을 제시한다. 제안된 모델 분석 결과 같은 수의 대체블록이 있을 때는 분산 복구블록, 복구 블록, N 자기검사 프로그래밍, N-버전 프로그래밍 순으로 의존도가 높음을 알 수 있다. 또한 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들의 신뢰도민감성 분석에서는 복구블록과 분산 복구블록인 경우는 적응검사의 결함발생율에, N-버전 프로그래밍인 경우는 프로그램 버전의 결함발생율에 더 민감한 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있다.

The eddy current testing performance directly affects the results of a steam generator tube integrity assessment because the integrity assessment of defected tubes is conducted based on eddy current testing results. This means that it may not be possible to accurately discriminate between adjacent flaws. This paper presents an investigation on the resolution of rotating pancake coils with multiple cracks and the effects on the structural integrity assessment of steam generator tubes.

An ultrasonic testing uses the directivity of the ultrasonic wave which propagates in one direction. The directivity is expressed as the relationship between the propagate direction and its sound pressure. This paper studied the directivity of shear waves emitted from angle probes and scattered from surface defects by using visualization method. These experimental results were compared with the theory which was based on the continuous wave. The applicability of continuous wave theory was discussed in terms of the parameter $d/{\lambda}$; where d is transducer or defect size and ${\lambda}$ is the wavelength. In the case of angle probes, the experimental results show good agreement with theoretical directivity on the principal lobe. When defect size was smaller than the wavelengths, clear directivity in the reflected wave was observed. In the case of the same ratio of defect size to wavelength, the directivity of reflected waves from the defect show almost the same directivity in spite of frequency differences. When the $d/{\lambda}$ is greater than 1.5, measured directivities almost agreed with the theoretical one.

The purpose of this study was to detect the pin hole defect of dental composite restoration using lock-in thermography method. Amplitude and phase images of the composite resin specimens were analyzed according to the lock-in frequency and the diameter of defect area. Through the amplitude image analysis, at lock-in frequency of 0.05 Hz, defect diameters 2-5 mm exhibited the highest amplitude contrast value between defective area and sound area. The lock-in frequency range of 0.3-0.5 Hz provided good phase angle contrast for the defect area. At lock-in frequency range of 0.5 Hz, defect diameter of 5 mm exhibited the highest phase contrast value. It is concluded that the infrared lock-in thermography method verified the effectiveness for detecting the pin hole defect of dental composite restoration.

In this study, the way how we can find the defects of motor windings in advance will be discussed. The magnetic flux spectrum in the high frequency region of the large motor was analyzed based on the actual fault practices related with motor windings. In case of defective motor relative amplitude ratio of the stator slot frequency to its sideband was very high compared to that of healthy motor. And the defective signal related with motor windings was indicated in advance in the magnetic flux spectrum prior to over 1 month before failure. Considering this aspect it can be estimated that magnetic flux spectrum in the high frequency region has the excellent predictive diagnostic capability.

결함허용 시스템은 다양한 형태의 중복을 사용하여 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있는 반면, 시스템의 비용을 크게 증가시킨다. 본 논문은 만족스러운 신뢰도를 갖추면서 추가 비용을 적게 요구하는 결함허용 컴퓨터 시스템의 구조를 결정하기 위한 설계 문제를 정의하고 탐색에 기반을 둔 해결법을 제안한다. 이 때, 탐색 기법이 방문하는 탐색 공간의 크기를 줄이기 위하여 사용되는 세 가지의 유용한 사실을 설명한다. 이를 바탕으로 삼중 모듈 중복(TMR: Triple-Modular-Redundancy), 백업 예비(backup sparing), 그리고 혼합 중복(hybride redundancy) 기법과 같은 결함허용 기법들이 시스템 구조에 적용되었을 때, 탐색 공간을 줄이는 용도로 사용될 수 있는 신뢰도 제약조건을 유도해낸다.

Shearography is one of optical methods that has been applied to nondestructive testing (NDT) and strain/stress analysis. The technique has the merit of the directly measuring relative displacement, which is insensitive to environmental vibration disturbance. Previous studies about the method have emphasized on extending its application to new fields and lack insufficient research on effective parameters for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of defects. In this paper, the influence of shearing amount on the detection of an internal defect is investigated. In experiment, slender defects along longitudinal direction of pipeline are artificially designed and detection results according to the change of shearing amount are analyzed. Based on the investigation, we propose the technique for the determination of defect size and accurate source location.

Determination of location, shape and size of a flaw from its eddy current testing signal is one of the fundamental issues in eddy current nondestructive evaluation of steam generator tubes. Here, we propose an approach to this problem; an inversion of eddy current flaw signal using neural networks trained by finite element model-based synthetic signatures. Total 216 eddy current signals from four different types of axisymmetric flaws in tubes are generated by finite element models of which the accuracy is experimentally validated. From each simulated signature, total 24 eddy current features are extracted and among them 13 features are finally selected for flaw characterization. Based on these features, probabilistic neural networks discriminate flaws into four different types according to the location and the shape, and successively back propagation neural networks determine the size parameters of the discriminated flaw.
